Everyone loves a good bargain, but sometimes is cutting on price really best for your skin?.
So far I have no quarrels with it. Everything here each was £2 or under.
I use all of these daily and no my skin is not model worthy, but for an everyday normal 19 year old girl I am pretty happy.
I have the regular break out on my chin or one dotted randomly and I do have red marks but nothing a bit of foundation can't disguise helpfully.
These products were all bought to help with these problems and so far so good.
'Simple' products are simply Simple. (Terrible pun I know ha ha.) I love 'Simple' products they are cheap and accessible to anyone in local drugstores or supermarkets.
I bought this 'kind to skin, replenishing rich moisturizer' to help my skin as I had dry skin in patches and oily skin on my break outs. I did not have enough money at the time to buy three different moisturizers, a year and a half on and this bottle is still doing well. I put a pea size amount on my finger then gently rub in, in the mornings let it dry and put my make-up on.
I believe I bought this on sale for like £2, I am pretty sure they still range around that price mark.
Hey a year on from when I bought it and it may even be cheaper!
Every night I take my make-up off with one of the three packs of face wipes from 'Osiris- Avise'.
They come in the pack of three and I bought these from the Asda supermarket for £1 all together.
The three packets all do different things, (I have used up the first two, sorry no pictures) first was a deep cleansing pack with good ingredients to get right down to the skin and purify.
Secondly was a kind to skin pack just a all round good make up remover.
Lastly is the best I think, Exfoliating it gets right down past the make-up and with light circular movements brings up all dirt hidden in the skin. Leaves my skin feeling soft.
I think the ideal way to use these packs is to open all three at once (not just as soon as the other runs out like I did) to get a thorough good facial.
I was in the need for some 'non- scented' body wash so when I noticed a 'Simple' branded one in Poundland! I had to get it for these three reasons.
1. It was only a £1.
2. I really like the brand 'Simple', it has really good qualities and the packaging is user friendly.
3. It has vitamin goodness, Skin loving nutrients and no perfume or coloring to irritate my skin.
This was bought at the time I had really sore spots on my shoulders whilst doing a grocery shop in Asda's. I was wearing a tank top so not only were they very painful but very ugly!
I hurriedly went searching for a treatment, my partner suggested I needed a product that was not a 'cure now treatment' as it would cure them right now but in the long term my skin would get use to it and be un-affected. Almost giving up he noticed the Asda range and found this for under a pound.
'Protect moisturiser- dual action'
What's in the orange bulletpoints:
- moisturises skin without clogging pores
- antibacterial ingredients to help prevent spots & breakouts
- leaves skin feeling soft & smooth
To start with I started putting it on my shoulders and back which really did help!. So I began wearing it as a matt base for make-up (it actually recommends this at the back of the bottle)
But my skin started getting use to it so I changed back to my 'Simple' one for the morning and occasionally put this on after using my facial make-up remover wipes at night.
'Garnier Body Intensive 7days'. This was plastered all over the telly for weeks so as the title says 'days' you would think it would be my first clue to it's use is only good for the body not face!
But I naively bought it before my 'Simple' products believing it would keep my face hydrated without the need for moisturizer everyday. It was safe to say it made my face much worse!
So one day I decided to read the small print and right at the very bottom in very tiny print it says "usage recommendation: do not apply on face."
Poo.... but it has become a great moisturiser for when I have just come out of the bath/shower and especially just after shaved legs. It makes them have this healthy looking glow, silky soft (which my partner often comments on, I still don't think he has figured out how) and leaves my skin feeling literally hydrated for a couple of days afterwards.
