We all love a bargain, right!? So I thought I would share 4 of my favourite affordable skincare products.
Garnier Micellar Water All-in-1 Waterproof Makeup Remover & Cleanser
Micellar waters are great if you wear quite heavy eye makeup and like to remove the bulk of it before you cleanse. I have found the Garnier ones to be the best I have tried, they now do a few versions for different skin types but I think they’re all pretty much alike. This one in the blue bottle is for removing waterproof makeup & I have to say its pretty damn good. You don’t have to tug or rub at your eyes, just hold the cotton pad on your eye for about a minute and gently wipe the makeup away. Its also very good at removing lip stains & matte lip products. This new Garnier skinactive version is a bi phase formula so you need to make sure you shake it up first. You get a lot of product for your money and a bottle lasts me a couple of months. This is fragrance free and contains no alcohol.
The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum-In-Oil
I simply love this product, its like liquid silk. Its a serum blended with a combination of oils including sunflower, jojoba, marula, soya, and sesame and it also has wheatgerm oil which is high in antioxidants. I use a couple of drops in my evening skincare routine when my skin is looking dull and dryer than normal. I massage a few drops on to clean skin and let it work its magic whilst I sleep. Its great at hydrating and reviving my skin and making it look like its well rested and radiant. This is so affordable and a lovely product to have in your skincare routine. I love the Vitamin E range but this is by far my favourite product from the range.
Lacura Anti Ageing Handcream With Argan Oil
Lacura is Aldi’s skincare brand so all their products are affordable, I like quite a few of their products but have been using this a tonne over the past few weeks. I am not 100% keen on the scent of this hand cream but I like how non greasy it is. I use hand cream so often throughout the day I just can’t deal when it leaves my hands feeling tacky or greasy so its important I have one that instantly absorbs and lets me get on with what I am doing without having to wait for it to dry down. This Lacura one from Aldi does just that and it leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft.
Soap & Glory Face Soap & Clarity 3-in-1 Daily Facial Wash
This face wash has a gel like consistency and lots of tiny soft scrub beads which are great for lightly exfoliating your skin. They’re not at all abrasive or scratchy. I like that it feels cooling on my skin and is lovely to massage in and really give your skin a thorough cleanse leaving it looking radiant. I rinse this off with a hot cloth and its great at removing makeup without leaving my skin feeling tight or dry. It smells so good too, really uplifting and fresh. I have a huge bottle of it too which has lasted me so long & I’m only about half way through it.
Let me know what your favourite affordable skincare products are.
I loveee Soap and Glory skincare and used to use that face wash every day, so good! I am very intrigued by the Argan Oil range from Aldi, I’ve heard great things about it! xx
I use the original Garnier micellar water with the pink lid and I really like it! I love the sound of the Body Shop Serum in Oil. I really like the Boots Botanics range, they have some fab budget-friendly skincare products 🙂

I love the serum-in-oil (and The Body Shop’s whole vitamin E range). It’s been a little neglected more recently because I’ve been trying other things but I like that it’s there in case I feel I need to go back to it! x

I have been on the lookout for a new serum to work into my routine, after reading this I might try out the body shop serum.
