Easy tips on how to save money on skincare 1

Know the ingredients that make a difference in your skin

Educating yourself on what is beneficial to your skin can save you a ton of money. That way you have less trial and error so you’re not wasting money.

Read the ingredients

Make sure you are getting what you pay for otherwise you are throwing your money away on a product that may only contain mostly fillers with trace amounts of the higher end ingredients. Read the ingredient list on the back and make sure all the active ingredients are at the top of the list.

Try a Skincare Dupe

Dupe is short for duplicate. Dupes are sort of like the generic of the makeup and skincare world. A skincare or makeup dupe isn’t an exact carbon copy but a close similar. A good Dupe will have the same active ingredients as the original. In the beauty world even high end brands like Drunk Elephant have their cheaper dupe counterparts. And reading skincare ingredient labels is something everyone can do.

Use skincare with higher active ingredients.

How do you do this? First of all, know what type of ingredients can do most for your skin. Read the ingredient list on the back and make sure all the active ingredients are at the top of the list. In the long run you will be able to use less with better results. Many manufacturers of skincare love to boast of certain ingredients but they are at the bottom of the ingredient list. That means you are getting less than 1% of the ingredient. Granted you might be saving money on cheap skincare but if it’s doing nothing for you, are you really saving?

Use multitasking products

Some of my favorite multitasking products are primers that double as moisturizer or spf. Another favorite multitasker is color beauty stick that can be used on cheeks or lips.  Honest beauty ORGANIC ALL-PURPOSE BALM (or most balms) isn’t just a cure for dry, chapped skin. It can also treat cuticles or tame flyaways and frizzies in hair. A balm can be used on lips, cuticles, hair, elbows, or anywhere that feels dry.

Many companies cut prices when you buy a bundle or set of skincare. These value kits are curated bundles, picked out by the skincare company, can be by skin type or season. And you aren’t paying on shipping of many different items. It often can qualify you for free shipping on certain sites.

Look for a free gift with purchase deal

You can get mini’s of your favorites with gift with purchase deals. Trying a mini of something new can help you know if you like without having to get the full size.
