Taking care of your skin is so important but you don’t need to break the bank in order to enjoy clean and clear skin.

Porridge Oats

Porridge Oats, or oatmeal, are great for cleansing your skin. The help to bring down any inflammation or irritation and therefore are good if you have eczema or psoriasis.

OIt can be used as either a gentle exfoliant or as a light mask to soothe your skin.

Olive Oil

It may seem strange, but using olive oil as a moisturiser totally works. If you think it feels a little greasy, apply to damp skin before bed and the water will reduce the sensation of greasiness and the oil will soak in overnight to have you waking up with soft, glowing skin.

Watermelon

In particular, vitamin C helps your levels of collagen synthesis, with collagen being the necessary element for keeping skin and hair strong and healthy.

Sun Cream

Although not quite as revolutionary, sun cream is so important that we had to mention it. Everyone has a bottle lying around from that trip to Tenerife in 2015, but a lot of people don’t realise that we need to apply SPF every day. Make sure any moisturiser you apply during the day has some level of protection from the sun in order to avoid damage.

Water

Lastly, we’re here to be the annoying nag that tells you to drink more water. It really will help you to flush out toxins from your body and stay hydrated- keeping skin supple and healthier. If you didn’t know already, it is recommended that you drink 2 litres of it every day. This is the equivalent of 6 to 8 glasses.

 

Hopefully, with these tips, you will be absolutely radiant in no time at all and still have your money safely in the bank.
