Beauty on a Budget

How do we fight winter doldrums and look gorgeous on a budget this season? "Well, when it comes to beauty you can find advanced skin care technologies and at-home solutions right at your local drugstore...it's just about knowing what to look for," says Glamour Magazine Beauty Editor and author of the book "How to Look Expensive: A Beauty Editor's Secrets to Getting Gorgeous without Breaking the Bank," Andrea Pomerantz Lustig.

Andrea likes to start with the face. In the harsh winter months, having multi-tasking products that keep skin moisturized while targeting other skin care woes is important. " We all know and love Neutrogena," says Andrea.

Neutrogena is recommended by dermatologist 2x more than any other skincare brand and their new ultra gentle daily cleanswer is perfect for those with sensitive skin. It is formulated with a patented polymer technology that helps prevent breakage of the skin's delicate moisture barrier while effectively removing excess dirt, oil, and makeup. You get superior cleansing while ensuring that skin never feels dry or tight like with other cleansers. Retails for under $9.

To prevent skin from looking aged, Andrea suggest RoC(R) two-in-one RETINOL CORREXION Max Wrinkle Resurfacing System. It uniquely combines a lightweight moisturizer containing Retinol with a resurfacing serum to fade the look of wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and cheeks and is just under $27.

And for those with difficulty treating acne like redness or irritation, Clean & Clear(R) Advantage(R) Daily Soothing Acne Wash is perfect. It is the first facial skincare product to blend aloe and avocado with maximum strength acne medicine so it is gentle enough for everyday use but strong enough to battle your breakouts. And it is under $8!

Lastly, hair...cold air can make hair dry and brittle and if you suffer from dandruff, like a lot of women do you often need to choose between a product that combats flakes and one that creates healthy-looking hair. To fill that void, Andrea suggests Aveeno(R) New Nourish + Dandruff Control Collection. The formula is no trade off. It infuses moisture into every strand, gently improving the health of your scalp, alleviating symptoms of dandruff and leaving you with the soft manageable hair for about $7.
