As promised, here's a useful budget beauty list to help you save money while shopping for skincare products -- for dry/normal skin types.
This list has been compiled after going through a lot of reviews and some friend recommendations just to guide you about some of the skincare products that probably would suit dry to normal skin. Some of the products I've tried, some I haven't so I'd really appreciate if you could add your valuable suggestions and experiences in the comment section below.
Difference between dry and normal skin?
A dry skin refers to skin that has a deficiency in oil or that lacks moisture. It is one of the main causes of itchiness and it may appear dull. It feels rough rather than smooth and may show flaking or scaling. If you have dry skin, you may feel tautness, especially after bathing.
An individual with normal skin has a facial complexion that is clear in appearance with none to very little blemishes. The skins pores are small to medium size. The elasticity of the skin is tight and smooth to the touch while the skin tone is even in appearance.
Tip: When wanting to purchase a skincare product or any other beauty product, check out some reviews online. You don't wanna waste your cash on a purchase that you'd regret buying.

ReplyDeleteThis post was just super helpful. My mom has dry skin so shes always in search for what will work. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteSuper helpful post! Will definitely try out some of your recommendations :) Thanks for doing this Sarah!
ReplyDeleteHi Sara, where can the Nutrogena be purchased from in Karachi and would you recommend them?
ReplyDeleteGreat recommendations. In my opinion Neutrogena is one of the best skin care brands out there and it's not very expensive, I can even afford it where I live so that says a lot. I really liked their Deep Clean Daily Scrub Invigorating, I love using that during Summer because it makes the skin tingle and has a minty fresh scent and leaves behind a cooling sensation for a while ^^
ReplyDeleteNice informative post
