Overview Of The Top 5 Cheap Skin Nurturing Items (below $10)
You don't have to be rich to enjoy great skin - you simply have to know where to look for the best value (read: cheap) skin care products for your budget. Whether you're shopping at Target or Rite-Aid, keep reading for the best skin care products for under $10
Apricot Scrub by St. Ives
Price: $4 at Drugstores
This apricot scrub has been a drugstore shelf staple for decades, and there's a reason - it works, it's affordable and people like using it. As a scrub, you should only be applying it a few times a week maximum - the idea is to remove dead skin cells and freshen up your skin, not scrub it off. So, use this one sparingly.
The Beauty Benefits Beauty Unblemished Treatment Concealer
Cost: $6 at Wal-Mart
Got a big date or meeting and an even bigger pimple to match? This product is a lifesaver and packs a lot of punch for $6. One end of this innovative pencil treats the area with salicylic acid while the other end acts as a great cover-up which blends well.
If you find the cover-up end of this product too powdery or hard to blend, try dabbing the pencil end in a bit of water or moisturizer before you apply it. It will go on smoother.
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Scrub
Cost: $7 at Target and Most Drugstores
Like the Beauty Benefits concealer pencil, this product also contains salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid that is used to treat acne and other skin problems. Basically, it prevents pores from clogging, expediates the removal of skin cells and makes room for fresh skin growth.
Ideally, you want to be using a facial scrub, particularly one with salicylic acid, no more than twice a week. Any more, and you run the risk of irritating your skin.
Witch Hazel
Price: $2 to $6 at Drugstores
Witch hazel is the main ingredient, after water, in most expensive toners. Essentially, it is both an astringent and powerful anti-oxidant. The product fights acne by finishing off your cleansing, sloughing away dead skin cells and restoring the skin's balance.
Because witch hazel is an astringent, remember to always moisturize afterwards. You may also want to dilute your witch hazel with two to three parts water, especially if you have dry or flaking skin.
Coconut Body Butter by Target
Price: $7.99 at Target
This creamy, whipped moisturizer is great for all-over, full body skin care. It will literally melt into your skin, so you'll smell great, but won't feel greasy. The best part? It's made from natural products like coconut, which has been proven to reduce the appearance and development of stretch marks.
Remember, cheap skin care products that are still good quality can be found. Don't be afraid to sample products out in the store, ask your friends for their favorite budget finds and to take chances on new, low-priced options. You may be delightfully surprised at the positive results.
