Best face products under £25

Following my previous blogs on bodycare and make-up, the feedback I have received is that everyone is really interested in in affordable products (and not necessarily my history of use). Without, further ado, here are the face washes, toners, moisturisers and lip products that are under £25 and I have used over the uses.

As before, because of the price point, I am ignoring the presence of parabens and other less desirable chemicals. Also, you should note that the Bioderma exfoliating gel below contains exfoliating beads and I’m not persuaded that they are great for the enviornment.
