How To Build A Skincare Routine Under £100
Alex's Picks
"An affordable cleanser I always come back to is the Aestura Foaming Cleanser. It's mildly acidic, so it supports your barrier rather than stripping it, leaving skin feeling clean but still nourished. Byoma is another brand I'd recommend to anyone shopping on a budget – it's difficult to find a product I don't like from the range. My favourite is the Phyto-Mucin Glow Serum. It has a slightly tacky texture, which isn't for everyone but if you're dehydrated like I am, it delivers incredible hydration and leaves your skin looking so glowy.
“The Ordinary is another affordable name to know, although the sheer number of products can feel overwhelming. My standout is the Multi-Antioxidant Radiance Serum, which goes beyond vitamin C to offer antioxidant protection alongside hydrating peptides. It boosts glow, brightens the complexion and can be used morning or night, making it a brilliant all-rounder. Finally, SPF is non-negotiable, and one of my favourites is Yepoda's The SPF BFF. Korean brands continue to deliver on both quality and affordability, and this mineral sunscreen is ideal for anyone with sensitive or reactive skin. It has a richer texture that initially looks tinted but melts in seamlessly, leaving behind a healthy, soft sheen."

"One product I always recommend is the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. It's brilliant for keeping skin feeling fresh and balanced, especially when you're travelling or on the go. I even spritz it over my phone from time to time – it's a simple step that helps minimise the bacteria your skin comes into contact with throughout the day.
“For cleansing, I love Byoma's Jelly Cleanser. I'm not always a fan of foaming formulas and while I usually prefer a cleansing balm, they're not my favourite in warmer weather. This gives me the freshness of a foaming cleanser without leaving my skin feeling stripped, while still removing everything I need it to. Another staple is The INKEY List's Exosome Hydro-Glow Complex. It's often sold out for a reason – it gives skin such a healthy glow. The milky texture is nourishing enough that, in the evening, I can sometimes skip moisturiser altogether. If I do want an extra layer of hydration, The INKEY List's Bio-Active Ceramide Repairing & Plumping Moisturiser is incredible. It's rich and buttery but never feels heavy and performs like a much more expensive cream.
“Finally, I love Medicube's Zero Pore Pad Mild. The original went viral but I actually prefer the gentler version. The blend of exfoliating acids helps improve pigmentation and blemishes, and they're great for tackling areas beyond the face too – especially in summer when shaving and waxing can lead to ingrown hairs."
