You do not need to break the bank in order to keep your skin healthy and looking its best. Dr. Victoria Negrete, board-certified dermatologist with Forefront Dermatology, has 3 budget friendly skin care tips for you that will take care of your skin for the long haul:
Tip 1: Wear Sunscreen Daily
Any dermatologist will tell you that the key to lifelong, healthy skin is regular, daily application of sunscreen. Not only does sunscreen act as a moisturizer, but it also is a great preventative measure against sun damage including premature aging (wrinkles) and skin cancer. While sunscreen isn’t the cheapest product, regular use can save money in the long-term preventing the need for more costly treatments.

Keeping your skin clean and hydrated gives it a healthy base preventing the likelihood of acne breakouts. Don't let a 12-hour period go by without washing your skin with a cleanser and applying a moisturizer. Get the most out of your moisturizer by applying it to damp skin to help lock in the moisturizer.
Tip 3: Use a Jack-of-all-trades Product
Petroleum jelly is a common, inexpensive product that can be used to moisturize rough, cracked feet, elbows and hands, prevent chafing during exercise and heal injuries including bumps and scrapes.
