While I would love to be able to spend $100 on a face cream or $85 on an anti-aging regimen, I’m forced to look for inexpensive alternatives to take care of my skin. Call it skin care on a budget.

Luckily, many products you can find in the drugstore work just as well if not better than the more expensive skin care products. Isn’t that ironic?

Here are my top picks for budget skin care that really work:

1. Noxzema Wet Cleansing Cloths

These ingenious cloths work to gently yet effectively remove dirt, impurities and makeup. Even waterproof mascara won’t be able to resist! If you’re strapped for time or are too tired for your normal cleansing routine, these cloths are quick, convenient and clean deep down for beautiful skin that looks refreshed and revitalized.

($3.59, Drugstores)

2. Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion with SPF 30

For women who suffer from sensitive skin and can’t use most regular moisturizers, this highly effective yet gentle lotion from Eucerin will keep your skin hydrated without irritation. Plus, SPF 30 helps protect your precious skin from the suns damaging rays.

($8.99, Drugstore.com)

3. Olay Regenerist Thermal Mini Peel

Why pay hundreds of dollars for a professional treatment when you can achieve comparable results with this heat-activated mini peel? This gentle peel exfoliates skin deep down to reveal fresh, healthy and younger looking skin without irritation. Plus, it softens and hydrates skin for a smooth and beautiful complexion.

($18, Drugstores)

4. St. Ives Mineral Clay Firming Mask

I love St. Ives products, especially this deep cleaning clay mask. It works for all skin types, so even those with super sensitive skin can use this mask without worry. The mineral clay works to clean deep down into your pores to remove build up, dirt, makeup and excess impurities for healthy, firm and rejuvenated skin.

($5.49, Drugstores)

5. Physicians Formula Luxury Eye Cream

This gentle eye cream costs so much less than more expensive creams but works just as well. A soothing blend of natural oils helps hydrate the area around the eyes and works to reduce the signs of aging by softening fine lines and wrinkles. It’s fragrance free and hypoallergenic and works alone or under makeup.

($6.49, Drugstores)

Whatever your skin needs, you can find budget skin care products at your local drugstore that work just as well as more expensive brands. Aren’t you ready for glowing, beautiful skin without the high price tag?
