Going Nuts? I can help you understand coupon terms and abbreviations

The older I get, the more I start to pay attention to skin care. I probably should have started sooner, but I figure it’s better late than never. But the world of skin care feels incredibly complicated, especially if you’re on a budget! Serums, moisturizers, retinoids… what in the world?

Some of those products at a beauty store will run you upwards of $50, but the good news is that you don’t have to spend a ton of money to take care of your skin. There are products available at your local drugstores as well as at places like Target and Walmart that will do the job just as well. And if you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that you can get these kinds of items even cheaper than the listed price if you watch the sales and match coupons.

The first step in figuring out how to take care of your skin is to decide what you want to focus on. The guide I’m using is by a woman named Jamie B. Golden, who has a 10-step skincare routine that she follows. I’m not doing everything she recommends, but am focusing on the following products in my own skincare routine: cleansers, exfoliants, toners, and moisturizers. If you want to do a bit more, you can also look for a retinoid and/or a serum. Feel like I’m speaking a different language? Check out this great guide to skin care 101 that explains what all the different products are.

(If you want similar recommendations for hair care, check out the best drugstore hair care products!)

Note: I’ve linked to each item at the CVS WEBSITE, just so you can see more about it and compare prices, but that’s not necessarily the best place to buy each item.

Looking at reviews from various sites, plus beauty bloggers and personal experiences, here are the best drugstore skin care products that are way cheaper than their big salon counterparts. I’ve separated them into categories, so you can choose which one you prefer (or just which one is on sale right now!)

                  About the Author and Book:
                  Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a christian martyr at the hands of the Gestapo in 1945.   His Letters and Papers from Prison became a prized testimony to Christian faith and courage, read by thousands. Now in Life Together we have Pastor Bonhoeffer’s experience of Christian community. This story of a unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years reads like one of Paul’s letters. It gives practical advice on how life together in Christ can be sustained in families and groups. The role of personal prayer, worship in common, everyday work, and Christian service is treated in simple, almost biblical, words. Life Together is bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.
