Last week, I posted about how I recession-proofed my makeup bag and saved $170 on my everyday makeup. Well, after that went so well, I decided to do the same for my medicine cabinet and see if I could find replacements for my most expensive skincare products. There was once a time when I balked at women who spent tons of money on skincare products. Those days are long gone...
Here are the priciest items in my medicine cabinet (excluding my Clarisonic, because that thing removes makeup like nobody's business):
- DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge 2 Antioxidant Enhanced Glycolic Acid Facial Cleanser, $25 (Very gentle, but I found a good replacement)
- DERMAdoctor Poetry In Lotion Intensive Retinol 1.0, $75
- DERMAdoctor Physical Chemistry Microdermabrasion + Peel, $75 (Good scrub, but I don't think it knew it was supposed to be a peel too...)
- Kiehls Highly Efficient Skin-Tone Corrector, $50
Its almost hard to believe that my $225 only got me 4 little products. But no worries, I found great products at the drugstore, all with active ingredients.
Drum roll, please:
- Aqua Glycolic Facial Cleanser, $10 - Surprisingly gentle.
- Aqua Glycolic Face Cream, $18 - I swear I wake up with glow-ier skin after putting this on at night.
- Clean and Clear Soft In-Shower Facial, $7 - Makes my skin super soft. I had forgotten how much I liked this!
- Black Opal Essential Fade Complex, $8 - Impressive ingredients for only eight bucks!
I impressed myself with my beauty budgeting abilities! I don't know how long I'll be able to keep up my new found product downsizing skills (I mean, lets be real. I am a product junkie, after all), but its great to know the I've still got it!
