thank you so much for tuning in today I. Have for you another save versus splurge
video you guys really seem to enjoy the first one I did I did one that was all
kind of make up I will link that on the screen now if you haven't watched it and
I know you guys requested for me to do one on skincare and on fashion the
fashion one is coming up soon but this one is this skincare version I've also
included in here body care and hair care just to kind of Club it all in one
section and I'm going to go through all the categories like I did in in the last
one and I'm going to tell you whether I. Think it's worth spending or saving and
what my favorite products are whatever the category is so without further ado
let's get straight into this video because there's a lot to get through but
before that don't forget to hit the subscribe button I upload twice a week
and I would love to have you back on the channel and also don't forget to hit the
little bell right next to the subscribe button so that you get a notification
every time I upload a new video ok so we're gonna start everything off
with a cleanser I'm gonna try and go in like this steps I would use a things and
the first one like I said is cleanser and I have here my favorite cleanser
which I've been using for a long time and it's the LA roche-posay tellurian
cleanser so I definitely think this is a safe product I think that's very good
kind of I was a premium sort of drugstore rangers like the rush today
and like a van which have got very very good quality skincare and actually you
could probably get away with getting everything from that range and I think
you can get really good quality stuff but it's not kind of super excessively
priced it's very good quality good for sensitive skin very respectful with like
skin and just good ingredients in there so I think it's definitely a product you
can save on I know there's some amazing kind of Sarah Chapman type cleanses
cleansing bombs that are amazing but I. Have to say this one for me works
wonders I use it all over to clean my face I use it even on eyes and
all over my face I featured this on my skincare routine which I will link on
the screen now if you haven't watched it but basically I think it's great it gets
rid of my makeup it comes on really easily it doesn't irritate my skin it
does make it oily it doesn't make me break out and you get pretty good amount
of product this is the demo cleanser and like I said you can use it on your eyes
as well and I work quite a lot of my makeup as you guys probably can see and
it gets rid of it really well you just kind of need to massage it in and then
you just kind of drag it out with a cotton bud and it just comes off really
really easily so I think this one's a great product and definitely want you
can save on moving on to the next one which is also a cleanser is this gel
cleanser and I think this one is again a safe product because this one is also
from the wash pers a like I said I think a lot of products from the wash but they
are really really good and the ones from a van are kind of this kind of this very
similar range there's sort of a little bit of premium drugstore but it's still
a drugstore product so I would still consider it a safe product this one is a
gel mousse cleanser and it doesn't have any soap it's really good for sensitive
skin especially for weally skin I used to break up so much and so ever since I
started using this it's definitely made a huge difference and it's made a huge
difference to my blackheads I mean the difference is stunning I mean I've
gotten rid of most of them I still have a little bit but I think it's a very
very good product really good on the skin and you get a whole lot for the
price moving now on to toner I don't use all that much toner but I think this one
is again definitely a safe product I.
Think you get some really good ones in
the market in the drugstore this one is the visibly clear blackhead eliminating
toner which I use occasion I don't use it every night and then I have one
that's like a caramel water and that's the Spanish brand but I think that again
would be a kind of similar equivalent to the drugstore this one's my Neutrogena I
think need to you know do some really good ones you can also get some by
L'Oreal which are really good revlon do some really good ones as well and
definitely i think it's a safe product i don't think there's a need to spend a
whole lot of money on a toner you basically all you wanted to do is just
kind of close your pores i would say go for like a good skincare brand though
like don't go for anything like you know that could be a dupe or a fake because
you're going to be applying it on your skin but something that is from a good
and you could definitely get away with something from the drugstore moving now
on to kind of creams and treatments and stuff like that my first product is a
serum and you can obviously use serums for different you know things though
issues that you have with your skin I'm going to talk about the ones that I've
used but I think this one is definitely a spend product I think treatment
products that are supposed to do something really specific to your skin I
would say are worth investing a little bit more money on them just because
sometimes the ones that are kind of high-end can deliver more can have
better results and I think because it's stuff that you're gonna be using you
know it's gonna be one item and it's something so specific for a specific
need I think it's worth spending a little bit extra money my recommendation
if you have a puffy kind of face type like mine which kind of retains a lot of
liquid is this Clarins one it's obviously worked a dream on my face it's
basically meant to kind of drain all the liquid retention that you have on your
face and it works so well and I think a drugstore product wouldn't have the same
effect I've also used the advanced night repair serum by Estee Lauder and I have
to say it's worked so well on my skin it's a great kind of hydrating serum
that really brings a lot of glow to your face and like I said because it's a
specific treatment that it's kind of for glow or for blemishes or for whatever it
is that you're using it I think it's definitely worth a little bit of extra
money so for me this would be a spent product staying on the topical kind of
treatment products I'm moving now more into kind of oils and creams and again
for me this is a splurge product I have the Clarins face oil for example which I
use as a nighttime moisturizer and I use this because I have really dehydrated
skin especially around here but then I. Have like a lot of blemishes down the
center of my face and I have to say this product has made a huge difference I
tried loads of products from the drugstore and nothing really worked on
my skin but this oil honestly works wonders so I think this one is
definitely a splurge product like I say this oil there can be other kind of
treatment creams that you use whether you're using something that's for your
wrinkles or whether you're using something because you want to have less
oil on your face whatever it is the treatment product you're using as a
moisturizer as a nighttime product that you really want to work on your skin
especially the night one because you wanted to work on your
skin all night I would say definitely worth spending because it's gonna be on
your face all night you want something that's gonna really work on whatever it
is that your problem is and I think it's definitely worth the extra money
moving now on to spot treatments is something you would use for something
really specific that it's not like an overall kind of moisturizer or serum or
anything something then you would use either for blemishes or whether you've
got kind of pigmentation on your skin using something as a spot treatment I
would say again these ones are definitely worth splashing on I for
example have a lot of problem with breakouts like I said and I use at this
product from Dermalogica which is the overnight clearing gel this is meant to
be to kind of apply it directly onto your spots and it kind of dries them up
I have to say this one works wonders if you have acne prone skin it's made such
a huge difference to my skin and I have tried at the one from the ordinary the
salicylic acid and that's a much more affordable option and I have to say it
was good but nothing like this one I. Think Dermalogica is like a mid-range
brand it's also not kind of super premium like a Christian Dior but at the
same time it's a really really good quality product and you are paying for
the kind of time and effort these brands put into kind of coming up with these
treatments so again because it's something very specific I would say it's
worth the extra money moving now on to a daytime moisturizer
and I think this one is kind of a product I'm on the fence about I have to
say you can get really good products in the drugstore and because this is just
gonna be something you're gonna be applying during the day it's not kind of
gonna do so much your skin it's not such a specific treatment you're gonna have
it on are you gonna put makeup and stuff on top I would say as long as you're
using something that is good for your skin time you can definitely save but I
also think that some of the high-end ones like the Armani primer one or the
Charlotte Tilbury magic cream do work really well on your face and I have
noticed a difference compared to the drugstores so for me I'm on the fence
about this one I would say if you want an effect that's absolutely amazing then
I would definitely splurge but if you don't mind so much or you have kind of a
skin that's kind of naturally just hydrated and wonderful on its own and it
doesn't need much treatment and you can definitely save but I'm siding more
towards the splurge category than the SAV category because again it's a
product you're applying to onto your skin you're gonna have it on
for a long time makeup is gonna sit on top of it and like using the same kind
of theory I had with makeup anything that affects the blend ability or the
way you'll make up sets on your skin is important for it to be good quality so I
would say probably splurge although yeah maybe you can save if
you're very very young and you've got kind of perfect skin anyways the makeup
wipes I would say definitely a safe category for me I use these ones from
Johnsons they're the baby wipes and I. Just use these to kind of double cleanse
my face but you can obviously use cleansing wipes I think the Johnson's
ones are really good the Neutrogena ones are also really good so you can
definitely get really good products from the drugstore that are not too
aggressive that are good with your skin and that actually remove your makeup I
would also say though that I wouldn't recommend cleansing works as the only
method of cleansing your face if you're wearing makeup I would say it's good for
a double cleanse or it's good to kind of clean around the areas of your face
where you can't get to with the cleanser but I would say it's not great to be
just cleaning your face with this moving now on to mask treatments I would say on
this one again I would sign more towards the splurge category but I think there
are also some really good ones in the drugstore so I'm in between I'm sorry
I'm not being that clear with this video but I think the skincare it's not as
clear-cut for me as it is with makeup there are some really great options like
the ones from a spa they are kind of again a little bit of like a little
premium skincare within the drugstore and I think their masks are absolutely
wonderful I've tried their vitamin C one it's
really good I've tried this one which is their anti-wrinkle Mars I've tried their
eye patches and they're honestly all amazing it's a Korean skincare brand and
I have to say their masks work so so well and I don't really notice that much
difference compared to like high-end ones however also from the drugstore a
really good option as this one for example from Sephora which is the bubble
mask detoxifying and they also have one that's called like the plumping mask I
will be putting all these products on the screen and linking them down below
and those honestly work so so well on my skin I honestly noticed such a huge
difference when I use them they're literally like instant effect products
this one which is the oxygenating mask literally makes the skin glow like my
skin can go quite dull and this one just brings a wonderful glow
into my face literally instantly as soon as I use it and the plumping mask it's
an overnight rating mask and it honestly hydrates my skin so much it leaves its
super plump and it actually has a lot of hyaluronic acid so it literally feels
like my skin is kind of lifted as if I.
Had like literally fillers put in so I
do think there are some great products in the drugstore however I also think
there are some great products from like more premium brands like Dermalogica
I've been using this gentle cream exfoliant for years and I haven't found
an exfoliant that is as good as this one this one is so amazing to kind of leave
your skin super smooth I use this always before applying any other masks on top
it's a chemical exfoliant you leave it on for about 15 minutes and then just
literally wash it off your face and I. Have to say it leaves your skin are so
good it helps to kind of keep like key blackheads and blemishes a bay and it's
such a good mask actually it's just so good and I think it's worth a little bit
of extra money so I would say um like I. Said I've got heading more towards
splurge but if you're gonna go and say there are some great products but I
would say choose the kind of premium ranges from the drugstore as opposed to
kind of the really kind of basic ranges too are the masks but I wanted to
mention as well they're worth splurging on is the satin acne mask this one again
it's a very specific treatment for people who are acne prone I think this
one works so so well and I haven't found anything similar in the drugstore and
also the Charlotte Tilbury skin clay goddess mask which is amazing it just it
hydrates and it clears your skin at the same time it's nothing like any other
clay mask I've tried before I know Lauri I have come up with like a huge range of
clay masks and they're good but there's nothing like this one this one honestly
is so special because it doesn't dehydrate your skin but at the same time
it kind of clears out your pores and it's just such a specific kind of
combination that I haven't been able to find elsewhere that I think it's worth
the extra money moving now on to body care I think the
kind of body soap definitely I would say is a safe product I have used these ones
from the sanctuary and actually I think the sanctuary is such an underrated
brand they have some really really good stuff and I think of their body soap is
so so good and they have some really good scrubs as well this one is the
white lily and damask rose and it smells so wonderful the packaging is so
beautiful it looks so nice on the bathtub and yeah they're really good
really moisturizing and they don't kind of dry out your skin or anything it
leaves them looking really beautiful really moisturize and at the same time
it smells for so so nice so I think I'm not too fussy to be honest with like
soaps and stuff like that as long as it doesn't dehydrate my skin I think
there's some really good options and some really affordable options on the
drugstore moving on to body scrubs and I think
this one again is a safe category I love this one from the body shop this one is
again a little bit like premium drugstore but I wouldn't call this
high-end it's the spot of the world mediterranean
sea salt scrub and it's the most amazing scrub i've tried ever it is so
nourishing but at the same time it really exfoliates your skin it feels so
lovely it's quite thick so it's really easy to kind of massage in the sanctuary
also do some really really good ones so I definitely think they're worth like
saving money on I have tried to save from flurry ones and I have to say I
didn't like those at all but I think sanctuary and the body shop do some
really really good ones and the smell is incredible they're good they exfoliate
your skin and again it's nothing stay specific so as long as it kind of
doesn't do hydrate your skin and it does the job I don't think you need to kind
of spend at loads and loads of money on it
moving on to body moisturiser and I. Think this one again is a safe product I
think the dark range is amazing like their body soaps they're also really
really good I forgot to mention them earlier this one is the one I use which
is the summer revive dermis spa one which is meant to be like a turning one
to be honest it's sort of a buildable tan but I don't mean you know just a lot
of difference on my skin but I have to say it does really really hydrate my
skin and it sinks them super quickly it absorbs super nicely it smells really
good it doesn't look kind of streaky or anything even though it's supposed to be
a tanning cream and yeah it just leaves my skin really really nourished and
really hydrated and I don't feel the need to spend on a more expensive one
because I don't really see the difference on my body moving on to hair
care I think this one is definitely a bit more of a spend category on the
whole I find that you don't have to go and you've spend crazy amounts of money
on it like you don't have to buy stuff from to go but I also feel that if you
buy a kind of complete drugstore stuff it does make a difference
and because my hair is colored and I.
Feel like it needs that extra kind of
bit of TLC so for shampoo I would definitely say spend I love this joy
coat for example shampoo and I also have a specific condition on my scalp which
makes it really flaky so I use a deep cleansing shampoo which is like
antibacterial shampoo as well and again it's like a pharmacy product so it is a
little bit more pricey but I think it's worth spending on a really good shampoo
because you know your hair especially if you color it your mistreating it a lot
and it does need that extra little bit of care and I find that the drugstore
just doesn't do enough for hair treatment perhaps I would say again a
spend category for me this product for example just for split ends is from
Schwarzkopf it's not super expensive but it is a little bit more pricey than the
drugstore but I have to say it's made such a huge difference on my hair it
does really nourish it and it leaves it so so supple and I have noticed a huge
difference in terms of the amounts of split ends I have another treatment
product is olaplex which is amazing on your hair and it does really really make
a difference especially if you have a colored hair it's a rebonding treatment
and i have to say it's worth the extra little bit of money and when it comes to
how masks I love this one file living proof it's a restore hair mask and it's
great for colored hair it really kind of nourishes your hair without weighing it
down and I have to say the Kerastase ones are
also amazing and they are a little bit more expensive but definitely worth the
money because like I said it's a very specific treatment product it's the same
as with your facial skin care something that's so specific for something that's
kind of a particular need I think spending a little bit of extra money is
worth it because it's worth paying for that extra research that that brand is
done and you know that's what you're paying for really so that's over from
you guys thank you so much for watching I hope you enjoyed this video please do
