Winter can be tough on your skin, leaving it dry, chapped, and tight. But don't fret, you don't need to break the bank on pricey lotions to look after your face. We've got four savvy skincare tips that will keep your skin soft and supple without emptying your wallet.
LESS IS MORE
According to dermatologist Dr. Natalia Spierings, using lots of different skincare products can actually harm your skin rather than help it. So, save your money and stick to using just a few products. And don't fall for the scam of buying a separate eye cream – just use your regular moisturizer around your eyes.
CLEAN UP
Make sure to remove your makeup every evening, and you don't need an expensive makeup remover to do the job. Dr. Natalia Spierings suggests using baby oil as a cheap alternative. And forget about the beauty trend of double cleansing, once a day is enough. Stick to products that cost under £5.
MOISTURIZE
In colder months, moisturizing is crucial to protect your skin from the harsh elements. But you don't need to splurge on an expensive brand. A tub of Vaseline is not only the best moisturizer on the market, but it's also the cheapest. Apply a thin layer at night and wake up to hydrated skin. A 50ml tub costs just £1.50 from Tesco.
SUN PROTECTION
Even in winter, it's important to protect your skin from the sun's rays. Dr. Natalia Spierings recommends using a good-quality, low-priced option like Altruist. The brand's face fluid sunscreen SPF 30 is £8.50 from altruistsun.com. Another great option is the Simple Triple Protect SPF 30 moisturizer, currently on offer at Morrisons for £3.50 (originally £7).
