Best Skincare products under 20 squid

We all know I love makeup, but skincare is so important too, and we often forget about it. I have sensitive skin (just what a beauty blogger wants!) and I've been through nearly every brand in the chemist, trying to find products that agree with my skin 100%. Obviously I've found lots of amazing stuff on my travels so I'm going to try to keep it to one product per category..maybe 2. 

(Also, apologies for the lack of continuity in the photo backgrounds-I've been adding and taking from this post for a while now!)

What can I say? I'm in love with this product. It's hands down one of the best face products I've ever ever used. 

Why I love it?

It cleanses and removes every inch of makeup (you'd be surprised how much can remain on your skin even after you've cleaned it) while leaving your skin feeling soft and hydrated. You don't need to rinse it off, and your skin will feel fresh as a daisy after using it.

This is an old favourite of mine that I always repurchase. Neutrogena are brilliant and this is such a nice, simple product that I loooove using.
Why I love it?
This works so quickly to leave your face feeling soft and rejuvenated. It smells really nice and your face really does feel fresh and squeaky clean after using it. This is about 5.50 most places, which is such a bargain since it lasts for ages too!

I had heard a lot about this spray on the interweb so I was really excited to get my hands on it. I definitely wasn't disappointed with it, and now it's an absolute staple in my skincare routine. 

What is it?

This lovely spray is refreshing and moisturising, and soothing too. It smells like roses which I love, and makes an excellent setting spray. It makes an excellent toner too, and on days when my skin is a little dry, it's absolutely perfect. I got this online right here, since I couldn't find it anywhere (boo).

I randomly bought this product because I needed a new moisturiser, and it won me over straight away. This is such a clever product that hydrates your skin, while also absorbing any excess oil. It hasn't irritated my skin once and makes for the perfect base for the rest of my makeup. It helps to fight breakouts and I couldn't believe how soft my skin was after the first use. I got mine for 10.99 in Boots which I know is a little more than some moisturisers, but this is so good, it's really worth it.

Siiiiigh! This one breaks my heart because as far as I know, it's still not available in Ireland (please correct me if I'm wrong!) Let me tell you though, it lives up to the hype because it's fan-bloody-tastic. 
Why I love it:
This pretty much targets any of the unwelcome visitors on you skin, so wave goodbye to blemishes, red patches and oiliness. Actually, if you have oily skin that you can't seem to keep under control, this could be your new best friend. I have some food allergies and on the rare occasion that they cause me to have breakouts, this is an absolute savior in fighting the battle in no time. It can also be used to treat other annoying things like cuts and grazes too. My only con with this product is that it doesn't last too long, although that could be because of how much I use it.

This is one of my old favourites and I had to include it. I've been using this for years, and I've never had a bad word to say about it. This pure formula moisturiser is guaranteed to leave you feeling fresh faced, without all the fuss of chemicals and fancy fragrances a lot of other moisturisers have. It really is as Simple as that. Lol, I'm too funny. It's around 4 euro most places, and lasts a very long time too.

If your skin has particularly bad days like mine does, and it wont let you use any shower gel or bath product without freaking out, then this could be your new best pal. There are no over the top ingredients or fragrances in this. It's just a lovely soothing body wash that does exactly what it says on the tin. This is just under 10 euro which I know is a little more than most body washes are, but it's so worth it if you have eczema, or other skin conditions.

I've been hearing so much about these Botanics products from Boots and at first glance they all look fab. I've tried the brightening balm and haven't been as enamored with it as everyone else seems to be, but I love this product. If you have any fine lines or wrinkles, this will really help to aid in reducing them, while soothing any sore under eye problems you might have. It gives the skin such a nice glow and you only need a little to help keep your skin all nice and healthy looking. This costs about 6 euro and it's worth every penny.

I've been thinking about my favourite product on the list while I've been writing it, and I think this is it. 

What is it?

This ingenious clay mask will unclog your pores, restore your skins natural balance, and even your skin tone. It has loads of ingredients that your skin will love. To be honest, it's like a detox facial. It smells absolutely lovely, and it hasn't irritated my skin at all. This is so perfect for those of us who really need some hydration, especially in this strange mixed weather we've been having. 


I could stay here all day adding products to this list, but hopefully I've covered enough to help anyone looking for specific items to add to their beauty regime.

Have a fantastic day!
