Five Beauty Essentials Under $25

We are now in Spring, where the weather is warmer and sunnier. Do you ever adjust your skin care products to make sure they are suitable for the weather? For example, switching to a lighter moisturizer for Spring instead of using a richer formula for Winter. Or adding higher SPF products to your routine to protect your skin from sun damage.

I alter my skin care routine slightly when the season changes, but there are several items that I’ve got to have on hand throughout the year. Below are some beauty products that I’ve been using for a while and have worked very well for me. The good thing is that they cost no more than $25 each.

Anastasia Beverly Hills – After Tweeze Cream $20

This cream has vitamin E and chamomile extract that soothe sensitive skin after brow waxing. It helps me to avoid acne and covers the redness.

Elizabeth Arden – Eight Hour Cream $19.50

I’ve been using this for many years. It’s one of my must-haves for traveling. It rehydrates chapped lips and dry skin (also good for sun-burned skin). Some makeup artists also use it on eyelids and cheeks. (Did you know that it is also Catherine Zeta-Jones’ all-time favorite skin care product?)

Fresh – Soy Face Cleanser $15 (1.7 oz)

It’s my new favorite facial cleanser. It’s gentle on my skin and cleans all the makeup residue. It leaves my skin soft and moisturized.

Fresh – Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 $22.50

Did you know that there are no oil glands on our lips, so they age faster than the rest of our face? To prevent aging on lips, you need to exfoliate and nourish them regularly. I love Fresh’s Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15. They keep my lips hydrated and smelling great!
