I know it sounds like a pipe-dream, but there are some AFFORDABLE anti-aging skincare options out there. I'm 27 now and I have a couple forehead and eye-area wrinkles that bother me, so I decided to seek out some affordable options to minimize their appearance. The products I love are below. I use them in different combinations depending on my skin's needs at the time, but each product could also be used alone. I have noticed some improvement in my skin since using these products. I highly recommend them for any of you frugal, beautiful people!
Shea butter gives your skin a concentrated dose of vitamins A, E and F, Antioxidants, and Essential Fatty Acids. It is super moisturizing and non-comedogenic. It can help with the treatment of dry skin, eczema, minor burns, pain relief from swelling and arthritis, dark spots, skin discolorations, stretchmarks, wrinkles and blemishes. (It has a strange, nutty smell that my dogs like, but I use it on them for their dry skin as well!)
This product is definitely the best smelling one on my list...lol. This moisturizing serum with collagen booster helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles, puffiness & age spots. The serum contains firming algae extract to support supple skin and instantly plumps skin for a flash of radiance. Bonus, it is paraben-free,manufactured in the USA, and not tested on animals. They also provide a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I love this product for under my eyes and on my neck. It also gives your skin a nice glow, I like using it before makeup!
I am not a huge fan of the smell. That being said, I notice a vibrancy to my skin when I use this product. Vitamin C Serums are supposed to improve the cell turnover rate, effectively working as a kind of chemical exfoliant. I use this product at night over the areas where I have dark spots and rough patches, when I wash my face the next morning I notice improvement in the tone and clarity of my skin. Another Advantage is they have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, if you're not satisfied you can return the product for a full refund.
If you haven't heard of Argan Oil you must be living under a rock. It's everywhere! It's used as a hair treatment, skin treatment, moisturizer, makeup primer, makeup mixing-medium, cuticle oil, lip balm, and more. It is super versatile and fast absorbing. I use mine to moisturize before makeup because it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave my skin feeling oily. I also love using it as a hair serum on frizzy days and as a hot-oil hair treatment on hair cleaning day! This one is 4oz for $10.95, which is an amazing bargain, especially if you compare it to THIS one by Josie Maran, which retails for $40 for 1.7oz!!!
This is one of my favorite products on this list. Hyaluronic Acid is the chemical in Restylane, so you know it works in injection form. Well, it is an acid that can hold 100x its weight in water! So it plumps the skin almost instantaneously! I use it over my forehead and under-eye wrinkles for an instant fix before makeup, as well as using it before bed! Another awesome use is you can put it on your lips to plump them up! It works really well as a lip plumper, I mix it with a drop of THIS cinnamon oil to enhance the plumping effects and it really looks like I got lip injections!
