great skin on a college budget
Posted on March 16, 2008Filed: Beauty
Who amongst us wouldn't enjoy a half day at an exclusive spa or having access to the world's most innovative products and treatments? But between the rising cost of college tuitions, student loans, mortgages and high interest credit rates priorities may be elsewhere. Fortunately there products and even common household items that can give your skin a world class glow
Cleansers:
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser- Is great for daily makeup removal or as part of a skin care regimen to treat the dryness caused by topical medications used in the treatment of acne, fine lines and wrinkles. Extremely gentle on the skin, it is also fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, making it an excellent choice for daily facial cleansing. For added exfoliant benefit we recommend using Arm and Hammer Baking soda along with Cetaphil. That’s right, baking soda, an effective yet natural and gentle cleanser with no harsh chemicals; it's also inexpensive and environmentally sensible. Simply lather the cleanser then add a small amount of baking soda we guarantee you skin will look smooth and refreshed.
Lush- Non-conventional and completely organic, Lush products pack incredible results for insanely low costs. All of Lush’s skin cleansers are very different. Not only are they different from everyone else’s cleansers but they don’t bear much resemblance to each other either. Which ones you use will depend upon the state of your skin at the moment and how you’d like it to feel when you’ve finished.
St.Ives Apricot Scrub- For smooth skin and to clear pores, try the Apricot facial scrub from St. Ives. One of the best products on the market.
Toners/Astringents:
T.N. Dickinson’s Witch Hazel- You can’t beat natural products. A 100% natural astringent that gently cleanses and conditions skin without removing essential moisture.Some homemade toners
