As
a student I know all about the struggles of sticking to a budget and
attempting to avoid the temptation of buying the expensive versions
of things you need. So I thought it would be a good idea to write a
new Beauty on a Budget blog post each time I find products that I
really like and are budget friendly.
A
couple of weeks ago I finally bought The Body Shop's Aloe Calming
Facial Cleanser after reading a number of bloggers recommending The
Body Shop's skincare range. The cleanser costs £8.50 for a 200ml bottle.
I
have sensitive skin and it is quite hard for me to find a budget
friendly cleanser that doesn't aggravate my skin. So when I saw that
this cleanser was especially suited to people like me, with sensitive
skin I thought why not give it a go and see if it works? It is
described on the bottle as a 'skin-kind lotion proven to cleanse
without irritating' and as a customer I would agree with that
statement.
I
use the Aloe Calming Cleanser morning and night. It is very gentle
and does not cause my skin to sting whatsoever which is a recurring
problem I have had with a lot of other cleansers. My skin type is
combination and I am quite prone to blemishes. However since using
this product I have definitely saw an improvement in my skin. This
cleanser is also good for removing face make-up however I would not
recommend it as a way to take off your mascara.
Also,
just as an added note, a really good thing about The Body Shop is
that they often have offers on. The day I bought my cleanser it was
actually half price! So I would definitely keep an eye out for these
offers to grab yourself even more of a bargain.
Lots of love,
Hayley
