Hello Dear Reader,
Even though I try to be as thrifty as possible, I will not compromise on skin care. I'm a great proponent of taking care of ourselves. People often comment on my clear skin and I tell people I have always looked after it. I always exfoliate when I'm in the bath or shower and always use a body moisturiser. Currently, and because it's on offer in our local Superdrug, I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter. I wait for it to be on offer and usually buy it when it's under £2.
I make my own small face clothes, they are half the size of a flannel and I cut up old towels and keep them ready to use. I use Superdrug's Simply Pure calming cleanser to remove any make up.
I massage it well into my face and then use on of my homemade clothes to remove the cleanser. In the morning, whilst in the shower, I massage Superdrug's hot cloth cleanser into my face and then wipe it off. It saves on cotton wool or cleansing pads. I rinse them out and use them twice before I put them into the wash. I have a small cotton bag with a draw string that I wash them in and peg them out with the rest of my laundry.
My go to moisturiser is Aldi's Lacura Daily Face cream and it's £1.49! I swear by it along with the Q10 anti-wrinkle day cream. I've tried others and none of them suit my skin like they do.
I'm amazed that people don't pay more attention to their skin. Gnarly dry skin on feet, dry and un nourished skin to me just signifies some sort of poor health or poor attitude to health. I only use very cheap off the shelf products but believe we can take care of ourselves even on a tiny budget. I also think we don't need to use loads of cotton pads when cleansing and we can make our own cleansing clothes which can definitely save us money and cut down on waste.
Over to you, what really cheap skin care product do you use and swear it does as good a job as something expensive?
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxx
