My ultimate list of go-to affordable skincare products for combination skin
20
items When I turned 30 I finally decided that I was going to commit to prioritizing my skincare and figuring out the best products for my skin, without breaking the bank. This list includes things that I use on a daily basis, as well as others that I incorporate into my weekly routines. I like to have options, so sometimes I mix it up just because, which is what makes this list so great. It gives you options, but also a solid foundation for a combination skincare routine! :)
As a girly in my 30s, I realized it was about time for me to start integrating retinol into my daily skincare routine and I have been loving this stuff! I did have a bit of a detox process for the first few weeks (which is totally normal when you first start using retinol) but no it is a staple in my morning routine!
The Ordinary Anti-Aging Retinol 0.5% in Squalane Serum
I happened upon this product while looking for something to help reduce my dark circles, and believe me when I say, I will never need to look for another product like this again. I've tried many under eye products and this is BY FAR the best and most effective - so affordable and lats forever!
The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG
I love how light this moisturizer is. It doesn't leave any greasy residue, dries quickly, and is one of my favorite moisturizers. Plus the small size is perfect for travel and somehow has lasted me for so long!
The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
When I tell you I love face masks…I LOVE face masks, and this one absolutely takes the cake! It smalls so good, isn't greasy or anything, and is just so refreshing. Plus, I feel like I can really tell the difference in my skin when I'm using them regularly too.
Mary & May Collagen Peptide Vital Mask (30ea)
I la la love this stuff! It does look kind of gross, but when it leaves your skin so fresh, clean, and truly glowing!
Acute Brightening Facial Scrub
This is my favorite cleanser I've ever tried! I don't even use makeup remover anymore. It smalls amazing and truly is brightening. I've been using it religiously for YEARS and could not recommend more.
Andalou Naturals Brightening Meyer Lemon + Vitamin C Creamy Cleanser
One of the best serums I've ever used! A little bit on the pricey side, but it is so worth it and lasts forever. Highly recommend! Also, smells so good!
Savor Beauty Pumpkin Seed Serum: Brightening Face Oil
I like to mix it up and use different moisturizers in the morning and night-time and this is my very favorite to use at night! Smells amazing, keeps your skin nice and moisturized, and the texture is amazing!
Pacifica Dreamy Youth Age-Defying Skincare Peptides
This stuff is so luxurious! I like to use this as the last step to my skincare routine at night and I can really feel a difference in my skin. Love it!
CORSX Propolis Light Cream
This isn't exactly skincare like the rest of the list, but this is by far the absolute best self tanner I have ever used. You don't have to worry about rinsing it off, it lasts forever and doesn't really transfer (unless you wear white right after putting it on), and I just cannot recommend more!
Tan Physics Sunless Tanner
My favorite micellar water! I use this to remove makeup and cleanse my face. Lives up to its name - simple, effective, and a great product!
Simple Micellar Cleansing Water - Simple Skincare
If you're looking for a tinted moisturizer, this one is a great option and has lasted me forever!
Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46
I am obsessed with this product! It isn't greasy or anything and I started seeing noticeable results super quick. Not exactly the most affordable, but definitely worth the investment!
Super Sculpt Peptide Firming & Lifting Serum For Face, Neck & Décolleté - ALPYN | Sephora
Obsessed with these makeup removing wipes! They smell so good and don't hurt my eyes, which is something I'm constantly having a hard time with makeup remover wipes.
Pacifica Glowing Makeup Removing Wipes 30 Count
This line by Andalou Naturals has been in the rotation since I started taking my skincare seriously. It is THE best! Definitely my favorite toner. So refreshing and smells amazing!
Andalou Naturals Illuminating Facial Toner
I really feel like this stuff makes my skin literally glow. It also smells AMAZING!
Andalou Naturals Turmeric + Vitamin C Serum
Cannot recommend this (and alllll of Andalou Naturals products, especially the vitamin c brightening line) enough!
Andalou Naturals Probiotic + Vitamin C Cream
Love The Ordinary retinol! I've graduated to the 1% since I've finished the 0.5% and you definitely want to let your skin adjust!
The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane Serum
These are AMAZING! I don't really understand how or why they work so well, but you need these in your makeup routine. They're great for everyday and traveling. I love them because they come with a little bag to throw them in the washing machine in, so you can use them again and again!
Puomue Makeup Remover Cloth 12 Pack, Soft Microfiber Towels
These masks are the best! Love these for a little self-care morning or evening routine :)
