How To Get Spring Ready On A Budget
It’s official: Spring is one month away!
Sure, YOU might be ready for the change of season, but your winter-weary beauty regime probably isn’t – particularly if you didn’t subscribe to the ‘Summer-bodies-are-made-in-winter’ theory.
Fear not though BB’s, here’s the lowdown on our best budget-friendly pre-Spring beauty essentials. Best you stock up on these before those flirty floral dresses see the light of day…
Get Fresh Faced
Dry skin is a far cry from the glowing, Spring-fresh faces. Treat your complexion to an effective skin-nourishing serum, rich in highly concentrated anti-oxidants and packed with anti-aging properties.
TRY: Essence anti-shine pore refining serum (R46.95, Dis-Chem).
Get the Perfect Pout
Kylie Jenner pout or not, it’s important to nourish dry and cracked lips to get them perfectly soft and kissable before you even consider indulging in a Spring fling…
TRY: Labello Repair and Beauty (R25.95, Dis-Chem).
Get SPF Savvy
With sunshine returning to your life, it’s a no-brainer that you need to reconsider your daily skincare regime. If you haven’t already, get into the habit of applying sunscreen every day to protect your skin against sun damage and early signs of aging.
TRY: Eucerin Aquaporin Active SPR25 with UVB and UVA protection (R189, leading pharmacies).
Prep those Pins
It’s time to remove the fur coat your legs have been hiding out under. De-fuzzing will leave you feeling fresh, confident and ready to brave those short-shorts…
TRY: Clicks Wax Strips (R47.95, Clicks).
Get Bronzed
A tan (always faux, of course) is great for masking imperfections and slimming lumps and bumps. Opt for a spray tan, a tanning mousse or subtle gradual bronzing moisturiser.
TRY: Dis-Chem ‘Luv That Sun’ Airbrush Bronze Shimmer Self Tan Spray (R54, 95, Dis-Chem).
