You can get great skin without splurging on designer skincare products. And I would know; I’m a professional shopping editor. Most of my days are consumed with talking about, testing, and researching beauty, skincare, and fashion.
I have dry skin that’s prone to a few hormonal acne spots here and there. I really want to work on strengthening my skin barrier with good moisturizer and sunscreen, as well as improving my skin texture and overall skin feel.
My ultimate goal is to create the look of glass skin – a.k.a perfectly hydrated, clear, luminescent skin.
I’ve got my skincare routine on lock. While the brands flip-flop from luxury skincare lines to drugstore brands depending on my budget, what’s in stock, or what I’m in the mood for, the products largely stay the same.
My lineup always includes multiple ways to remove makeup (I’m a huge fan of a double cleanse). I like to use micellar water followed by an oil cleanser as my makeup remover.
My dry skin tends to lean towards being sensitive skin, so I always make sure I have the best moisturizer or face cream for my skin type, as well as a deeply nourishing eye cream. Then I set everything with a mineral sunscreen to help protect my face.
My skincare extras include a gua sha tool, which feels amazing on my tight jaw and helps me create sharper-looking cheekbones, as well as pimple patches. They really work, people! Especially if you ever feel the need to pick at your acne-prone skin.
Whether you have skin like mine or not, these products from La Roche-Posay, Bioderma, and more work for a variety of skin types. Plus, everything you see below is $30 and under! I’ve even found pimple patches that cost less than your daily iced latte.
