Every year I tell myself I won’t get sucked into buying more skincare and as usual I fail miserably! I love skincare, I enjoy trying new products and finding things that work well for my skin. But 2023 definitely was the year I relied more on budget friendly prices, price promotions and sales more than ever thanks to the cost of living. So what skincare products were my favourite in 2023?
Face Facts Ceramide Gentle Cleanser
Face Facts Ceramide Gentle Cleanser was THAT product I would happily repurchase again and again if it stayed in stock in Home Bargains. Fragrance free, gentle but effective on the skin and easy to dispense thanks to it’s pump action packaging.
Selfless by Hyram’s Centella & Green Tea Gel Cleanser
Another cleanser I enjoyed using was Selfless by Hyram’s Centella & Green Tea Gel Cleanser. I thought it was so good I must have bought at least 4 of them! I used this, my kids used this. Overall it was a very good cleanser that didn’t strip the skin and it gave my skin the best clean base to start my mornings and end my evenings.
Simple’s Illuminating Under- Eye Hydrogel Mask
When your under eye area needs a quick fix, under eye patches are a great product to use. Simple’s Illuminating Under Eye Hydrogel Mask are one of those eye products I re-purchased in 2023, used on myself and actually gave as gifts too. Easy to use, cooling, comfortable, a small but instant improvement on the under eye area and very affordable.
Freeman’s Pre-Party Mask Duo
The best form of skincare bargain is that purchase which is cheap but works, and I found this when I bought Freeman’s Pre-Party Mask Duo. I never used this brand before. It was never on my radar until I spotted this product reduced in my local Tesco store to 67p! Once sachet of a facial skincare mask and one sachet of a moisturiser was included. This duo really impressed me because after use my skin felt and looked so good! Brilliant buy!
CeraVe’s Resurfacing Retinol Serum
Sometimes if you have specific skincare concerns you have to pay a little more for a specialised product that targets that issue. CeraVe’s Resurfacing Retinol Serum was purchased because I was, and still am, suffering with hyperpigmentation. Its much better than what it was but I would love to see this improve even more. This is one of the things I’ve been using to help and it definitely has changed the look of my skin for the better.
So those are my favourite skincare products I used in 2023. Looking back on my choices and purchases, I didn’t go crazy buying lots of skincare with most of these being products I needed rather than wanted. Let’s hope 2024 is the same….
