I have delved into skincare, but have recently found a passion and love for skincare. After weeks of research, I compiled a list of affordable skincare products ranging from cleansers to chemical exfoliators that I can guarantee work effectively to give you the best results possible.

1. Simple Micellar Gel Wash

When I tell you that this product does miracles! This affordable cleanser works on every all skin types and removes dirt without stripping the oils from your face.

Use this fragrance-free, Hyram-approved, product on a regular basis regularly as a product to clean your face of any impurities.

2. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

If you have dry skin, this is a perfect cleanser for you! I use this cleanser all the time and it is a wonderful fragrance-free product that hydrates your skin and gives you that perfect fresh look. Use this regularly with other products for permanent results.

3. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

La Roche-Posay is a brand that I would say can never let you down, their formulas and ingredient are high quality and work effectively to remove dirt and unclog your pores.

Glycerin, Ceramides, Niacinamide are some of the hydrating ingredients found in this product.

$20

4. Earth to Skin Super Greens Cleanser

If the following cleansers are out of stock because of the skincare obsession during quarantine, Earth to Skin Super Greens Cleanser is an underrated cleanser that works beautifully on dry skin.

Using natural extracts like cucumber, kale, and broccoli extracts, this product offers soothing effects like no other product.

5. The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution

If you have not heard about this product where have you been! This ordinary product has been floating through social media and is so difficult to get your hands on.

Luckily, I have tried this product before and I can assure the hype is real. The ingredients in this product remove the look of large pores and clears pores using chemical exfoliation.

If you have mild to severe acne, this is a product you should definitely have.

6. CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser 

CeraVe has been gaining a lo of popularity, but some of their products are better than others. This product in specific has an ingredient called salicylic acid which helps with longterm minimal breakout.

Salicylic acid is also great to help with uneven skin tone and redness.

The sound acid might scare you, but trust me chemical exfoliators like salicylic acid are way better for your skin than physical exfoliators like scrubs.

7. The Inkey List Q10 Serum

If you have sensitive skin, this product will help you adapt to other ingredients and allow you to use stronger serums and products.

This serum is formulated with an ingredient called Ubiquinone which is an active antioxidant that hydrates your skin and prevents fine lines and wrinkles.

Other hydrating ingredients such as soybean extract and peptide complex. It is sold in small amounts, but the price is amazing and is highly effective

8. Elf Happy Hydration Cream

The second ingredient in this cream is Cannabis sativa seed oil is the 2nd ingredient which is amazing for hydration just like the product states.

The sixth product is niacinamide which reduces sensitivity and irritation and helps with uneven skin tone.

This product has effective ingredients and does not add too many extra scents or oils making it a fragrance-free and all-around great cream.

$12

9. The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA $8

Alpha arbutin a water-soluble version of arbutin and is one of the most advanced natural ingredients in skincare which helps even out dark skin.

Since I have a melanin-rich skin tone, this product works wonders for me. For such an affordable price, you cannot go wrong with this product.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
