Best Skincare Finds Under $50

Even if you love a good dupe and love to save where ever you can (who doesn't?) there's some things you should spend the extra money on, one of them being your skincare products. I'm a firm believer that you should buy what's best for your skin and individual needs and if it means spending a little extra to get something that really makes a difference, then it's worth it. That being said, there's so many great and affordable skincare products out there that don't break the bank, even if you are looking for a "holy grail" product that you'll love and that's going to do your skin wonders! These picks are all under $50 and are worth every penny:

1. Watermelon Juice Moisturizer: I've been skeptical of this and I'm not sure why, but I got a sample to try before purchasing and I really, really like it! It's very hydrating and cooling - it's my favorite moisturizer to use after being in the sun just because it makes me feel so refreshed. Don't even get me started on the incredible smell!

2. Glam Glow Mud Mask: if you haven't tried a GLAMGLOW mask yet, you are missing out! They're awesome and this is another product/brand I wasn't sure if the hype was worth it, but it is. It makes your face feel and look so refreshed! It's great to do once a week or a few times a month.

3. Clinique Moisture Surge Hydration Set: it's no secret that all I do is talk about the Moisture Surge line but I promise it's for good reason! This is the moisturizer I use daily and it is the absolute best. I included this set because it's an awesome deal - I like getting beauty buys at Sephora to rack up the points, but when it comes to Clinique ALWAYS check Macy's because they have great promotions almost always. This set is $39 - which is the same price as one tub of the moisturizer - and you get the moisturizer, overnight mask and eye cream. You basically get two full sized products for free!

4. Charcoal Sheet Mask: these sheet masks are the BEST ever! I love them all, but included this new charcoal one here because it works wonders for your skin! I also love this hydrating sleep sheet mask and this green tea one!

5. OLEKENRIKSEN Moisturizer: this is a great moisturizer if you're not looking to spend a lot, but want to see results. I used the entire tub (0.5 oz) in about 2 months when using it nightly and it made my skin softer and reduced any cheek redness (used it during the colder months earlier this year!) over that time period. Highly recommend - it's affordable and works great.

6. Clinique Eye De-Puffing Serum: say goodbye to tired, puffy eyes because this stuff is incredible! It's been especially great on vacations when you maybe don't get enough sleep, or have trouble sleeping away or at home. It's VERY cooling and very moisturizing for your eyes, so even if you don't deal with puffiness this is still great to use to soothe around your eyes.

7. Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Hydrating Gel: I don't want to call this a lotion, but it also is more than just a gel... Either way, it's heavenly and it's another one of those products I talk way too much about. But hey, at least you know how much I really love and recommend it. ;)

8. Kopari Coconut Melt: you can use this coconut melt as a moisturizer, eye product, hair conditioner, shaving cream, in the bath... Should I continue? Because the list goes on and on! It's basically coconut oil 2.0 and it's a skin/hair/everything must buy.

9. Rose Facial Roller: the more I've seen about facial rollers, the more I've wanted one and then I realized they are SO necessary. This is definitely one of the best beauty tools you could ever buy/would ever need! It's similar to the popular jade roller and it's great for toning, smoothing and refreshing your skin. It can be used to massage your serum into your skin or even over a sheet mask. I've been loving putting it in the freezer before using it - sooo cooling on your skin!

10. Fresh Deep Hydration Toner: this is one of those products that you don't really think you need to have, and then you try it and you don't know how you didn't always use it! It's beyond soothing and feels incredible on your skin.

11. Clarisonic Mia 2: this is by far the best cleansing brush ever. I know you've likely seen this before, but if you haven't gotten one yet - you have to! Nothing makes me feel better, my skin cleaner or more refreshed than when I use this. It's easy to travel with and completely necessary to use every day!

12. COOLA Radical Recovery After-Sun Lotion: I just tried this and think I need to add it to my list of sunburn must haves! It's extremely cooling and a perfect post-sun product. Even if you aren't (which I hope you're not!) burned, this is a great product to have for the summer months or to bring on beach trips.

13. PTR Firming Peeling Gel: my favorite, go-to exfoliant by FAR. It doesn't dry you out like many exfoliators do and it just leaves your face feeling so clean. It's the best ever!

14. COOLA Sun Silk Drops: apply these to your face post being in the sun to help avoid aging later on. I've always been very mindful of sun safety and this is just another product that'll enhance your skincare routine, especially after being in the sun.

15. Ice Face Roller: this will be the best $12 you've spent in a long, long time! While it's awesome for soothing your skin, it's also really been a game changer for me when dealing with a headache. It's an all around great product and not one you'd expect for so cheap. Get this asap!

16. Dead Sea Mud Mask: this is a $9 mud mask that you can have shipped Prime and have it in two days, and will become your new favorite mask. Seriously. It's that good!

17. Coconut Water Cleansing & Exfoliating Wipes: I'm kind of picky when it comes to what I use to take my makeup off and I normally won't use any other cleansing wipe than these Garnier wipes (love them for sensitive skin!) but these have been great and are such a good price!

18. Drunk Elephant Marula Oil: ok, you've likely heard the hype about this facial oil but it's for very good reason... This is the #1 skincare product for nearly every skin concern and will work absolute wonders on your skin. It is pricier, but it's worth it and this smaller size is $40 - I included it because it does so much good for your skin that you could occasionally use solely this and be good to go when it comes to daily skincare! You need such a little bit when you use it that this mini size is still well worth it.
