Budget Friendly Beauty Products for Combination Skin

Shirley Norling
There are a number of beauty products on the market today for combination skin types that can easily be purchased by anyone wanting to watch their budget. Beauty on a budget isn't that difficult for the individual who wants healthy, glowing skin even if your skin is classified as combination. There are several very reputable brands of beauty products that can fit into almost anyone's budget. A few of the brands I recommend are Avon, which is my all-time favorite, Neutrogena, Cover Girl and Olay. I will go over some of the products in these brands that I recommend for the combination type skin. You basically need 3 products in your beauty regime to keep your skin at its best. They are a cleanser, moisturizing sunscreen, and night cream in whatever brand you may choose.

Avon-I swear by this brand. I shop online for these products constantly. If you sign up on their website, they're constantly sending out emails on their specials, including free shipping on a very minimal purchase, which is a big plus for me. One of their newer skincare regimes is a line called "solutions", which I highly recommend for normal or combination skin types. They have a "total radiance duo system" which includes your day cleanser and night cleanser in one package that costs $12.50 for the 2 cleansers, and a day cream and night cream package that costs $17.50 for the two pieces. If you prefer single items, I recommend the "total radiance" day lotion with an SPF of 15. In this same line they have micro-exfoliating cleansing cushions for $12.50 for 28 pads, and other products like eye creams. These prices I am quoting are their regular prices for the products. When they have a sale, which is often, you can purchase them for a lot less. I just got the 2 duo packs of the cleansers and skin creams and the day lotion for $15.00 for all 3 products. I have what you would call combination skin and these work very well for me. Check out the Avon website for more information on these or any other of the many products they carry.

Olay-On their website they gave me an evaluation of my skin type, which again came up as combination skin and they recommended these 3 products, which I have also used. They were in what they call their "Olay Complete" line.
Olay Complete lathering cleanser is $14.99, Olay Complete Defense moisturizer is also $14.99, and their night cream called Olay Complete night fortifying is the same price. Watch sales and look for coupons and you can get deals on these items also. If you want an evaluation of your skin type and recommended Olay products, go to their website to have it done. It's quite interesting what products they come with for you.

You don't necessarily have to use all the products in the same line for your combination skin type if you don't want too. "Dove" has a foaming facial cleanser for combination skin called "Dove Cool Cleanser for $5.00. Pair that with "St .Ives" lightweight moisturizing sunscreen for $7.00, and "Elements Mineral Moisturizer for night time at $10.00 and you have a good combination of budget beauty products.

A couple of other budget beauty products I have used and highly recommend are "Cover Girl Tinted Moisturizer" for around $7.00 and "Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer for $9.50. Both of these come in a variety of shades to enhance your skin tone.

I hope you will find these recommendations helpful for your combination skin type and they will fit into your budget, even it's under $25.00 for your beauty products.
