Beauty To Scrimp And Save To Update Your Skin Care Routine

With the weather still hot, it’s the perfect time of year to check use by dates on your skincare essentials and update your routine. You don’t need to break the bank to have a well-balanced skin care regime.

Great skin starts here…

SAVE

First things first. Getting your cleanser sorted is priority number one. We love Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser, $10, as it removes dirt, oil and makeup with its clever cleansing and exfoliating combination that contains alpha and beta hydroxy acids. It’s foaming action and fresh scent are also an added bonus. Be vigilant and cleanse morning and night no matter how tired you are. In the case of late night emergency, use Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Towelettes, $4.25, to wipe away the day in a flash.

For thirsty, dehydrated skin, try Neutrogena Hydro Boost Night Concentrate. This super hydrating night concentrate works while you sleep with a clever combination of hyaluronic acid, olive extract and vitamins. Your skin will be eternally grateful.

SPLURGE

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Anti-ageing Mattifying Lotion, helps decreases oil production, plus, it contains smoothing silica powders to leave skin primed and ready for makeup. Got to love a two-in-one.

Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector, $63, targets dark circles on multi levels, it brightens the under-eye area with mulberry root, boosts collagen levels and also has a clever tint to disguise any discolouration.
