A Broke College Girl’s Guide to Clear Skin: Target Edition

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois State chapter.

Let’s face it. We all want to feel good in our own skin.Sometimes that’s easier said than done and a lot of people out there believe we have to spend hundreds of dollars in order to achieve clear skin. Little do you know, there’s a whole world full of (especially at Target) cheap skincare products out there that you don’t even know about! The world is our oyster ladies, so let’s not take it for granted. Here’s a list of my absolute favorite and affordable skincare products that I found at my local Target: 

 

Aveeno Positively Radiant 60-Second In-Shower Facial – $6.79 

This amazing in shower cleanser is perfect to make your skin feel super soft and radiant. Aveeno has a ton of amazing products for all of your skincare needs, but this is definitely one of my favorites. It’s formulated with soy and lemon peel extracts to give your skin a healthy glow. It works with the steam of your shower to gently exfoliate the dead skin, dirt, and oil. 

Yes To (Tomatoes) Facemask – $1.49 

Any of the Yes To facemasks are amazing! They’re the cheapest solution to an at-home spa night. They have a wide variety of sheet masks and clay masks to choose from. Just leave it on for the proper amount of time and your skin will be looking and feeling better! 

Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets – $6.69 

I mean, who didn’t have these in their gym lockers in high school? These are the key to all of your oil problems! These magical sheets soak up the excess oil around your nose and in your t-zone. The best part? It doesn’t even smudge your makeup! 

Formula 10.0.6 Multi-Mask Skincare Set – $10.99

This skincare set has it all – 3 travel size bottles full of face masks! These mask can help with a variety of different issues – from skin-clarifying, to brightening, and even cleansing! You can’t beat that for only $11. 

Us HC girls sure know how to mask! 

 

CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion – $12.99

This moisturizer comes in both an AM and PM version. Perfect for your daily dose of moisturizer! It contains SPF, so you’re killing two birds with one stone! It is also perfect for those of you with sensitive skin.

Finding a good skincare routine on a budget can be tough. Who would have thought that the best (and cheapest) options were right in front of our eyes! My advice? Head on over to Target for all of your cheap skincare needs & don’t forget to treat yourself every once in a while!
