Be honest: You want to look your best and improve your looks and not have to worry about the price tags you find on makeup products, hair care products, and fashion pieces. Most people want to stay within budget. Still, you can get a great glow up without breaking the bank.
Listed below are some ideas for achieving an affordable, attractive personal style.
1. Skincare
When it comes to skincare, you may have been told to use this, apply that, and add tons of formulas to your skincare regime. That’s overkill and can actually cause break-outs, irritation, and more.
First, start with a basic, effective cleanser such as Cetaphil every morning. Popular beauty guru YouTubers like Jennifer Myers don’t complicate their complexion care routine (only five minutes.), and her skin is like glass!
She advises applying a vitamin C serum daily to hydrate, protect and brighten the skin and recommends always wearing sunscreen.
2. Hair
Many people abuse their hair on a weekly basis with over-shampooing, blow-drying, hair spraying, flat-ironing, and the list goes on.
The best way to glow up here is by getting rid of split-ends. Stick with your salon appointments, and don’t try those crazy, TikTok do-it-yourself Wolf haircuts and other risky trends. Investing in a few salon appointments a month is probably cheaper than going to the salon to fix a DIY hairstyle that went wrong.
Hair color or hair highlights add oomph to your hairstyle no matter what age you are. Have fun renewing your shade and bringing back its radiance.
3. Work Out
The great thing about exercise is its amazing versatility. Get the body moving. It doesn’t matter if you’re walking or playing tennis, riding a bike or what have you.
Even a 15-minute daily workout is excellent for the body and staying in shape. If you’re seeking a bit of muscle definition, then, add small free weights to your routine. Lifting 5-lb. dumbbells can tone the entire physique in a good way.
4. Fashion
Get your street style back on track with fab pieces you can walk out the door in. Athleisure trends such as cute rompers, side-pocket leggings, crop tops, and bodysuits are all attractive womens clothes under $10. Yes, awesome clothing that won’t bust your budget is available.
These staples can build a wardrobe, offer beautiful layering pieces, and can complete a gorgeous glow-up appearance.
Fashion doesn’t have to cost you thousands of dollars to look incredible.
5. Makeup
Some people wear very little, and some people enjoy wearing foundation, concealer, blush, mascara, eyeliner, etc.
Whatever you prefer to indulge in, do your homework. In other words, don’t save up for visits to the swanky Chanel counters. Drop into your local drugstore and pick up brands such as E.L.F., Wet n Wild, Milani, and others. These are all quality-made makeup products that apply well, stay on and look pretty. Best of all, these cosmetics are affordable and can help you get your glow up every time.
6. Faux Tan
Talk about a real glow-up. A faux tan is your best method for achieving that St. Tropez tan without risking damage to your skin.
It’s healthy to enjoy time in the sun, but lying out tanning all summer-long means that dark spots and wrinkles will make their appearance sooner than later.
Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian know that a faux tan is the right way to go. It looks beautiful, and you can attain similar results.
7. Whiter Teeth
Your smile is something people notice, and hopefully, you’re keeping up with your dental appointments.
The quickest way to get a smile glow-up is by whitening your teeth. Whitening strips work fast and can brighten your smile a few levels.
You can also find whitening strips at a cheaper cost. Walmart sells an excellent box under the brand Equate for less than $15 with 10 treatments to a Hollywood smile. Selfies, anyone?
In Summary
Everyone on the planet can benefit from a glow-up, and you don’t have to break your wallet, either. Try out this list of suggestions, and have some fun! Everyone can all look their personal best on a budget. Try it, and see!
