Looking Good

Cheap skin care & make-up routine?

I’m 33 and have lost that youthful glow. I would like to start a skin care & make-up routine that won’t be expensive and take too much time. I’d like suggestions for using natural or homemade products. I’ve started using plain natural yogurt on my face/neck for moisture & exfoliation and I love it! I’ve also use chamomile tea bags on my eyes to reduce puffiness. My skin is healthy, no blemish problems. I’m just starting to get fine lines and not as firm anymore. I see all these anti-wrinkle serums & beads, creams & scrubs. For make-up, there is Primer? Like on my walls? Lol! Beauty experts suggests all these different brushes for each step. Those things aren’t cheap! Won’t a q-tip do? I don’t want to be an airbrushed model. I just want even skin tone without looking like I’m covered in a dusty white mask. All of these highlighters, brighteners, toners etc have me so confused. The people at the stores/mall just want you to buy EVERYTHING. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you are looking for a cheap alternative to take care of your skin, I would definitely recommend using St. Ive’s products. Firstly as a simple routine, here is what you can do:

1.Cleanse (twice a day)
2.Exfoliate (once a week)
3.Moisturize (twice a day)

I used to use Clinique, which is far more expensive and still a good product but recently switched to St. Ive’s and I absolutely love it! I think St. Ive’s would be perfect for you, since you are looking for something inexpensive. If you are curious to see the products I use, take a look at my channel: www.youtube.com/luvschmee

As for the natural remedies such as yogurt, that is great for your skin… You could try mixing that with honey and lemon juice to get that glow you are looking for. Another natural moisturizer you could try is olive oil. Try massaging olive oil onto your face about once a week, and it will also give you a nice glow.

Hope this helps!
