HEY, HI, HELLO BIG SPENDERS! IF MOST OF YOUR MONTHLY SALARY & BUDGET GOES ON BEAUTY AND FACIAL TREATMENTS WITH A LIL’ DABBLE IN SKINCARE PRODUCTS, THIS MONEY-SAVING GUIDE WAS MADE FOR YOU.
Staying glam and saving money is no easy feat, but it can be done. We’re sharing our money-saving tips & treatments. Keeping everything under £100, you’ll finally be able to put some money somewhere other than your face. You’re welcome saving accounts everywhere.
Now, this does go against what we’ve been told our whole lives, but washing your face twice a day isn’t for everyone, especially sensitive skin types. People are beginning to step away from the norm and discover that their skin is actually happier when washed once a day instead of two. Washing your face once a day can help to maintain a strong, healthy skin barrier as it holds onto essential moisture and oil without the risk of stripping them from the skin. But if you do decide to give this money-saving tip a go, make sure the one time you wash it is in the evening as your skin collects a whole lotta dirt, bacteria, and pollution throughout the day.
Featuring organic aloe vera and botanical extracts, IMAGE Skincare Ormedic Balancing Facial Cleanser restores softness and balance to the skin. Plus, pear cactus water and mondo grass extract improve the skin’s ability to fight dryness and environmental damage, fortifying the skin barrier.
If your skincare has only just hit out-of-date but you still have some left, you can use it on your body. Expiry dates are more of a guideline, but the skin on our face is too sensitive to risk it, however, the skin on our body is much tougher. We only recommend following this money-saving skincare tip temporarily as it may lead to irritation/be ineffective if it becomes really out of date.
The more skin concerns your skincare products can address, the more money you’ll save. Simple.
Doubling up as an SPF and moisturiser is Dermaceutic K Ceutic. Loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter, it protects your skin against sun damage and dryness whilst stimulating faster cell renewal and minimising inflammation and redness.
This lightweight exfoliating cleanser by iS Clinical cleanses the skin to melt away dirt, bacteria, and excess oil, whilst thoroughly removing dead skin cells and decongesting pores with mild resurfacing ingredients suitable for everyday use and all skin types. It’ll also prevent you from wasting your other skincare products by allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin for more effective results.
To keep your beauty on a budget, try IMAGE Skincare Ormedic Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex. The lip gloss/treatment is available in pink or clear and hydrates the lips whilst making them naturally fuller, smoothing out fine lines.
If you’re short on cash and time, this is one of our best cheap facials to hydrate, detox, brighten, or tighten the skin in just 20 minutes. Featuring our signature peel and mini consultation, consider your skin goals complete.
The 40 Express Facial combines our signature peel and mini consultation with LED technology. Choose from blue LED light therapy to destroy acne-causing bacteria and regulate oil production to treat acne, or kickstart the healing process with yellow LED light therapy to minimise the appearance of scars and sun damage. It also boosts collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production, as well as blood circulation for better nutrient delivery to the skin and lymphatic flow to flush toxins and bacteria from the skin. To finish the more affordable facial, a gua sha massage or cryotherapy to reduce puffiness and inflammation, so you defo get your money’s worth.
Delivering their highly potent formulas deeper into the skin, The SkinCeuticals facial treatment comes with the famous Glow Peel and carefully selected skincare products that aim to solve your skin concerns including, but not limited to, dullness, fine lines and wrinkles, and dehydration. Infrared LED light therapy penetrates the furthest into the skin to better stimulate hyaluronic acid, elastin, and elastin production.
Speaking of inexpensive facials, our Rejuvenate LED Facial is the cheapest facial treatment we offer at Young LDN that saves dull, lacklustre skin with yellow LEDs. Working to increase blood flow to deliver essential nutrients for optimal skin health, collagen and elastin to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and hyaluronic acid for hydration and fullness. Oh, and a gua sha massage.
First up in our selection of more affordable beauty treatments is the LVL Lash Lift. Yup, you can still have fuller, longer lashes on a budget. The semi-permanent lash treatment beautifies natural lashes by lifting and tinting them to create the appearance of thicker, longer-looking lashes without the use of mascara.
Budget beauty doesn’t mean giving up luxuries altogether. Our BIAB Mani contains a range of strengthening gel products craved by chipped, weak nails that struggle to hold any length without breaking. Applied in the same way as regular gel polish, you’ll have fabulous fingertips with real length that scream ~luxe~. Infills are typically required every 4 weeks, making this beauty treatment slightly more cost-effective than the gel mani, which usually needs renewing every 2-3 weeks.
For the ‘Clean Girl’ aesthetic, choose the Japanese Pedi that’s both an affordable beauty treatment and on-trend. A highly nutritious keratin paste containing vitamins A, E, and H is applied to the nails for strength and buffed to perfection, leaving a gloss that won’t stop glossing for at least a week.
