Three ways to get a glowing complexion at home without needing pricey salon services
REGULAR facials help keep your skin in top condition especially during cold and windy weather.
But rather than fork out on pricey salon services, treat yourself at home instead.
Here’s how to get a glowing complexion on a budget . . .
CLEANSE: Start by getting rid of make-up and grime.
You can use your own regular cleanser, or baby oil is a cheap product that will clean your face.
Then fill your sink with hot water and dip in a clean flannel or face cloth.
Wring out the cloth before laying it over your face. The steam should help open your pores.
You can then use the cloth to exfoliate and buff your face by rubbing in small gentle circles over the skin.
SPECIAL CARE: When you head for a facial, your skin is usually lavished in extra products to give it a nice boost.
Retinol can help reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Aldi’s Lacura retinol toner, £2.99, is a budget alternative to expensive brands.
Serums are absorbed by the skin and applied after cleansing and toning.
Try a vitamin C serum to help boost collagen production and make skin feel more supple.
Tesco’s Skin Saints vitamin C serum is £4.
MOISTURISE: As temperatures drop, your skin can quickly dry out.
Keep it well moisturised to plump your face and help it looking healthy.
Hyaluronic acid helps dry skin look revived — Tesco’s Skin Saints version is £4.
No need to splash out on exra pricey moisturisers. Vaseline works well and a 50ml tub is £1.79 from Superdrug.
Finish with an SPF to protect your skin from sun damage all year round.
Tesco’s kind & pure daily moisturiser and SPF 15, £2, is an affordable everyday option.
