Ingredients in your skincare is what will make all the difference. I bang on about certain ingredients but if you are only beginning to make an effort in taking care of your skin, you may not know what I am talking about. That's okay! If I hadn't been working in the beauty counters and being trained heavily on skincare, I don't think that I would have a baldy notion.
If you follow me on Instagram. If you don't, then why not? @Makeupbyatm (The ATM are my initials, I am not sponsored by a bank machine.) I posted a dump of the pictures below of the different skincare ingredients and what they are used for.
Below the pictures, I will name affordable products that you can use if any of the ingredients you read are calling your name. I always talk about Vitamin C as one of my skincare concerns is the dullness in my skin. If I have missed your favourite products, let me know in the comments. I love to try new products, even if my bank account doesn't!

These products are great for beginner skincare users to regular skincare lovers. There are no magic potions that will transform your skin overnight. The key to skincare is consistency and no days off. You will see the benefits of taking care of your skin and you will not regret it. Nobody regrets having beautiful skin. It takes 16 days to form a habit, make your skincare a habit.
