While I do love my bougie hair and skin care products, there are SO MANY great affordable options, many of which are still in my beauty routine because they work!
This is a great pretreatment if you have a flakey scalp!
Salicylic Acid Oily Scalp Treatment
I have the itchiest, flakiest scalp. I alternate this shampoo with Neutragenia T-Sal and double wash.
Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 1% Ketoconazole
This shampoo is a must for itchy, flakey scalp. There isn't much of a scent and it works really well! I double shampoo before I condition.
Neutrogena T/Sal Therapeutic Shampoo, 4.5 fl. oz
I don't understand how the skin of my face can be so oily while the skin on my body is so dry, but here we are! This isn't the lotion that soaks in the quickest, but it's the lotion that really works for me!
Eucerin Intensive Repair Body Lotion, 16.9 Oz
The is one of my favorite Niacinamides. It goes on a little wet, but soaks into the skin quickly.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
I will never not have this in my medicine cabinet! It's so helpful with redness.
Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
This might sound crazy, but I use this on my scalp! It does a great job helping to prevent flakes.
Lactic Acid 10% + HA
Don't forget your neck and chest!
Gold Bond Age Renew Neck & Chest Cream, 2 oz.
I don't like to spend a lot of money on cleaners. This is a great one that doesn't strip your skin.
Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser - Neutrogena
This is a great moisturizer for oily skin. My teenages use it and don't mind sharing with me. :)
PM Lotion Face Moisturizer, Oil-free Night Cream for All ...
A cleansing balm isn't essential, but it does make it easier to remove sunscreen and long wearing make up. This isn't my favorite, but it does the trick!
CeraVe Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm with Jojoba Oil ...
This is my HANDS DOWN ultimate go to for dry skin. The skin on my face is oily except for the thick of winter when it feels like the area around my mouth/lips is going to peel off. This is the only stuff that does the trick. It's great on feet, hands...
CeraVe Healing Ointment to Help Protect & Soothe Dry ...
Olay's Regenerist line is legit. It's definitely not your grandma's Oil of Olay!
Regenerist Retinol24 + Peptide Night Moisturizer - Olay
Great day time moisturizer - make sure to apply sunscreen first.
Olay Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle Serum 1.7oz
I haven't tried these and don't think I would for everyday use, but I bet they're great for travel!
Olay Cleansing Melts + Retinol, 64 ct.
I need more moisturizer in my conditioner than this formula provides, but it's terrific if your hair isn't as dry.
