What to spend your money on and what not to: Sali Hughes’s lessons from 33 years in the beauty industry
1. The fastest way to make your skin look better is by cleansing properly
If you’re currently relying on wipes or just water, try using a balm or oil and then a warm flannel to remove makeup – skip this in the morning – followed by a gentle face wash or cleansing milk to clean your skin. It will usually give you smoother skin in a week.
2. If a product is en route to the plughole, spend less on it
Everyone wants to know where to splurge and where to scrimp, and my advice is always this: spend the least on things that are quickly washed away (cleanser, body and face wash), saving the extra cash for the products that sit on your skin all day, like serum and foundation.
