Cheapo Skin Care

I LOVE a good deal and I LOVE good looking skin!!

I used to covet Rebecca Gayheart's skin (The face of Noxzema skin care products back in the early 90's) and wanted to look just like her back in the day. I also wanted her corkscrew curls but that wasn't as easily attainable!

Nowadays there are a ton of affordable skin care options out there that are drugstore knockoffs of your of favorite name brand products.

Here of some cheapo cult faves to suit most of your skin care needs:

Beauty Need: "Gentle Skin Cleanser for normal to dry skin"

Branded Product: Cetaphil ($11)

Cheapo Option: Target's Non-Irritating Skin Cleanser ($3.99), which is a good ole basic cream-like cleanser that is fragrance free but smells clean nonetheless! It's super gentle

also.

Beauty Need: "Acne Cleanser for oil proned skin"

Branded Product: Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash ($7)

Cheapo Option: CVS Oil- Free Acne Cleanser ($4.50) contains salicylic acid to help fight acne prone skin while also containing soothing agents like aloe and chamomile.

Beauty Need: "Facial sunscreen with high SPF"

Branded Product: La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF40 ($30)

Cheapo Option: Rite Aid's Rx Suncare Faces Sunblock SPF50 ($8.50) is a wonderful lightweight facial sunblock that disappears quickly once applied and doesn't leave a sticky heavy feeling. It also has a super high SPF and plenty of antioxidants to ward off those pesky wrinkles and sun damage!!

Beauty Need: "Anti wrinkle eye cream"

Branded Product: Relastin Eye Silk ($69)

Cheapo Option: CVS Radiant Eye Treatment ($23) is a great option for preventing wrinkles around the eyes. It is full of polymers and glycerin that helps to hydrate this sensitive area that is constantly pulled and tugged at while also filling in the wrinkles and improves circulation.

Now these inexpensive skin care products might not turn you into the Noxzema girl, or get hottie Eric Dane to marry you (Rebecca Gayheart's hubby and McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy), but they will keep your budget AND your skin in top condition!
