3 Ways to Stop Overspending on Skin Care |
If you aren’t ready to admit you’re spending too much on skincare, these signs might change your mind.
1. You’re Broke Between Paydays
Have you ever brought home a new wrinkle-fighting serum that wiped out all your cash ‘til payday? This is a risky financial move, even if you’ve never run into problems before. There might come a time when you have to cover an unexpected expense that can’t wait until you get paid. So, what then? Hint: see below.
2. You Rely on Online Loans Regularly
As an emergency safety net, online loans shouldn’t make regular appearances in your budget — especially not because your latest skincare step drained your cash between paychecks.
3. You Have More Products Than You Can Use
Another sign you’re overdoing it is if you have more products than you can reasonably fit into your routine. If you never get around to using your actives before their best before date, you’re probably spending too much.
How to Reduce Spending without Sacrificing Quality
Beauty on a budget is possible, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Here are some tips to help curb your spending.
1. Find Dupes
If you aren’t careful, you can easily believe luxury equals quality. But in reality, you’re usually only paying for the brand.
2. Know Which Actives Can Mix
Did you know that combining retinol and AHA is a bad idea? Or that vitamin C and niacinamide are no gos? On their own, they can be a holy grail of your routine, but together, they can cause painful irritation that leads you to believe they’re destined for the trash.
3. Only Buy What You Can Use by the Best by Date
On the topic of actives, it’s important to note most of them have a shelf life. Unlike most basic creams and cleansers, these serums break down in as little as three months. After that, they don’t work as they should, and they may even cause inflammation.
Saving and Skin Care Do Mix
You can pamper your skin without breaking the bank. Remember these tips to help you spot and prevent the signs of overspending.
