Any tips for cheap but good moisturisers?

[Tweet2tweet]

Hi

I've been using L'Occitane day and night cream for the last year or so. However I have to do some serious budgeting and this means no more posh creams :(

I suffer from combination skin so can't go without a moisturiser. I also prefer to use creams that are as natural as possible.

Anyone got any tips? I saw that Nivea do a naturals/pure range but not sure if this works.....

Boots botanics. Gorgeous stuff.

I also use Nivea Q10 which is wonderful on sensitive skin and keeps that dry, tight feeling away all day. If you always buy it on offer, it's between £5-6.50 a pot. Think the botanics range is even cheaper.

Another vote for Botanics, I use their make-up removers and moisturisers and rate them as highly as more expensive brands.

Often on 3 for 2 as well!!

I really Like the natrulift from body shop (i think that's how its called, its the one on the red tub). It's rich and feels a lot more expensive than what it is.

Aldis range. Absolutely fab and only three quid!

Aldi has some amazing stuff

This is my basic moisturiser, it is light and not astringent like a lot of high street/perfumed moisturisers. I have tried Wileda, barefoot botanical and other health food shop standards but the FSC works best for me. Simple but effective, usually about the £3.70 mark in my local health food shop.

Neutrogena Comfort Balm is brilliant.

Johnson's Baby Soothing Naturals intense moisturising cream (in a green tub). There is also a lotion in a green plastic bottle which is even better. I have very dry skin and these are the best moisturisers I have ever found, and I have tried a huge range.

I switched from dermalogica to superdrug's simply pure range because it is paraben free. Cheap as chips and people have commented on my skin. I have been adding a couple of drops of rosehip oil after seeing a thread on here about how magical it is!

When my purse strings need a serious tighten Avon is where I head. I think their creams are really good for the price, I use the solutions range.

Thanks so much for all of these suggestions. Sounds like there's plenty to choose from. I think I may give the FSC cream a go, thanks again everyone
