Skincare on a Budget

BY The Modern East Staff

Skincare products (the “good ones”) are more on the expensive side. People think that the more they pay, the more effective it is. But in reality, it is not. Skincare has to do with the ingredients, and if you can find the right ingredients, then you have hit jackpot! Let’s go on a little skincare product tour to show you the hidden gems that can help you save some cash and answer all your prayers!

1. Facial Moisturizer Pump Signature by Sukin:

This is a brand that uses plant-based ingredients. It works on all skin types. It adds a layer of moisture to your skin and keeps it hydrated all day. It’s organic and free of many harmful chemicals, which is why so many people love it! Also, the best part is that it costs only 64 AED! Gimme alll the products, please!

2. Certified Organic Rosehip Oil by Sukin:

One of the most sworn by ingredients in the skincare industry is Rosehip Oil. It radiates skin, fights aging, helps with dark circles, fights stretch marks, and hydrates! It costs 55 AED… You’re technically buying a miracle in a bottle! A plus side is that it does not leave a greasy film on your skin like usual oils do because it is a dry oil. It absorbs into the skin almost immediately!

3. Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% High Strength Vitamin and Mineral Blemish Formula by The Ordinary:

Niacinamide is a very expensive ingredient, but this brand provides it at a very affordable price. This product works magic. It works beautifully before makeup or as a primer because it minimizes pores and makes foundation glide on smoothly. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is known to reduce redness, fights acne, helps with uneven skin tones, and controls fine lines and oily skin. All that for just 53 AED! With that being said, this product is a holy grail for many.
