HOW DO I SAVE MONEY WITHOUT COMPROMISING MY SKINCARE?

HOW DO I SAVE MONEY WITHOUT COMPROMISING MY SKINCARE?

The start of a new year often fills us with hope and wishes for prosperity and fulfilment for the future. At MYSKIN Shop we are aware that the thoughts of many people this January, are to find ways of managing their finances and to save money wherever possible at this time of financial challenge. This can often mean prioritising the essentials and sacrificing some of the luxuries we enjoy in life.

We apply a caring approach to your needs, only recommending products and treatments that work in your best interests and focus on bringing out the best in your appearance. Professional skincare and advice may be considered a luxury by some. But, your complexion may disagree, as a suitable daily skincare routine can help in maintaining healthy and radiant skin that also looks clearer and younger.

Therefore, this January MYSKIN Shop wants to help both your complexion and your pocket. With these top tips you can save money on this important daily ritual, without compromising your skincare.

Top tip #1 – change your method of application.

Most people will apply their skincare products using cotton wool or a cosmetic mitt. Buying reusable pads will cut down on costs, and these two great cleansing items re-usable cotton bags with laundry bag and Jane Iredale Magic Mitt – removes even eye make-up with just water!. However, you can apply moisturisers, serums, lotions or cleansers using your own fingertips which means you can eliminate the cost of your cotton pad (or equivalent) altogether. You may also want to note that cotton pads will absorb some of the product before it goes onto your skin. Your fingertips won’t do this, so you may find less product gets used in general, making it last a bit longer.

Top tip #2 – consider damp / wet skin when applying skincare to your body

Applying your skincare is most effective when your skin is clean and fresh and is essential for your skincare routine. Many people apply a moisturiser to their body following a bath or shower. However, you may want to consider doing this before drying, when the skin is still damp. Massaging the moisturiser into wet / damp skin on your body can increase absorption, helping to lock in more moisture. Once again, this may mean you can use less of your product and make it go further. By making your body moisturising product more effective it can enhance the outcome, for even smoother, softer skin. Environ Derma-lac and body oil is available at MYSKIN Shop and works really well when applied to wet / damp skin. We especially recommend this product during the winter months to help with both moisturisation and exfoliation.

Top tip #3 – don’t overdo it

Overuse of your skincare products can be just as ineffective as not using any at all. It’s important (especially when using a serum) that you use the right amount. It’s often the case that one pump, dropper or small blob on the end of your finger is all you’ll need to get the desired result. It’s always best to read the dosage instructions supplied on the label or follow the directions from your trusted skincare professional. Some people require the use of ‘active’ skincare so their complexion can benefit from purer, more powerful ingredients that reach the deeper levels of the skin. In this case, you will need to visit a skin clinic or a trained skin specialist, where you’ll receive targeted products under the guidance of your dedicated skincare professional. Although this option may seem like it’s the more costly choice when we’re talking about trying to save money, getting it right can be more beneficial over the longer term.

Top tip #4 – use combination products

It can often seem like a lot of products need to be included within your daily skincare routine, ensuring your skin is cleansed, toned, moisturised and exfoliated, without considering the addition of serums that nourish and further hydrate the skin.
When trying to save money on your skincare you may want to look at products that effectively ‘multi-task’. You may recognise these products being described as ‘3-in-1’ or ‘4-in-1’ which will benefit your complexion in a variety of ways, so you can streamline your skincare and reduce the amount of products on your shelf – as well as the price you pay on your overall skincare regime. MYSKIN Shop includes a range of ‘multi-tasking’ products, including:

iS cleansing complex a 3 in 1 product to remove make-up, deep cleanse and tone the skin

Environ clay mask can be used 3 ways depending on what your skin needs that day and

HYPO21 multi-functional skin purifying spray to help calm the skin, reduce redness, reduce breakouts and can help treat skin conditions like acne, rosacea

Top tip #5 – active concentrated skincare

Active concentrated skincare is made with better quality ingredients and uses less chemicals, so is often more beneficial for the skin. For example: one active serum can improve the skin ten times more than 2 or 3 other cosmetic skincare serums. The beneficial ingredients contained in active concentrated skincare will be present in larger amounts so you will need to reduce the dosage. This will simply cut down the amount you’re using, for a longer-lasting product but get better results over cosmetic skincare. When purchasing active concentrated skincare products, you may feel the price tag is little higher than expected. But as you’re paying for better skin results so it’s worth investing, and they’ll go further and last longer so the cost will be lower overall.
