Last month, I gave in to the temptation of buying an uber-expensive luxury anti-aging cream in the hopes of seeing that investment turn into beautiful, glass skin for me. After 3 weeks of forcing that cream to work for my skin, now it sits on my dresser. Its new job description is to add aesthetic value to my skincare stash, and nothing else. I do not have the heart to trash it after shelling out big bucks on it. Be honest, would you?
There’s nothing that breaks my heart more than a beauty buy that didn’t work out. Especially if it was expensive. Since this incident, I had set out my heart on finding the best skincare that the category ‘low to high’ had to offer, and here we are.

How many times have we seen our friends getting bad reactions to cheap perfumes and watery body lotions? Far too many to trust the sham of exaggerated skincare benefits and claims. Today, we will look at 6 tried and tested budget buys that actually work and don’t burn a hole in your pocket.
