Fashion trends and makeup tips are easy manuals to follow, but when it comes to skin care, well that’s just another story. Everyone has their unique needs and maintenance levels. We all want to glow like Halle, but first take a listen to what our skin wants. Dry skin may be a plea to switch up the moisturizer. Did you answer? Maybe you went a little overboard with the toner. At the end of the day, it’s all about a little give and take. No need to dip into your savings for good products, because we have all your beauty needs for under $10.
1. Cleanse: If you have problems with acne or uneven skin, we implore you to evaluate how and what you cleanse with. We love Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (8.97), because it’s not too harsh on the skin. Severe cleansers and soaps can dry the skin out and in turn are responsible for breakouts.
2. Exfoliate: The trickiest part of all is exfoliation. How often to do you exfoliate? More is not always better. If you experience frequent breakouts try cutting down usage from everyday to twice a week with Aveeno Skin Brightening Scrub (7.49).
3. Tone: Depending on the skin type toner, may not be necessary. Toner is good for those with oily skin, as it wipes away dirt and minimizes the pores. Try Sephora’s Refreshening Toner (5.00).
4. Moisturize: Using a good moisturizer is so crucial. Apply right after a shower to you maintain hydration levels. Don’t neglect your skin when it’s thirsty. We like Eucerin’s Everyday Protection SPF 30 (7.19).
