I’ve been using an $11 purchase on my face for 25 years and I swear by my ‘big three’ – everyone says I look so much younger

A BEAUTY fan has revealed the three-step anti-aging routine she follows.

An inexpensive skin care purchase also helps earn your skin compliments.

Editor Helen Gonne shared the anti-aging beauty tip in a post.

She explained that her “Big Three” routine was key to keeping her skin youthful.

The first thing is cleaning, and she recommends being “as gentle as possible.”

“You can get a much gentler cleanser if you rinse thoroughly with water after using it,” she said.

“There is some variation in what works with individual skin,” she explained.

“So try some of the cheaper ones mentioned here and find something that feels good and makes your face feel hydrated and never tight.

“I have to add a facial oil in the winter, or I can never keep up, but that’s not the case for everyone.”

During the day, she ends her routine with sunscreen.

“You also need sunscreen, but you can really improve things and help save some money by wearing hats with large, opaque brims, high necklines and long sleeves,” she said.

She explained that she also experimented with sunscreen formulations until she found the right one for her skin type.

“I started wearing big hats many years ago because most chemical sunscreens irritated my skin, but I discovered that my skin loves a little zinc,” she said.

“So I use zinc-based sunscreen, which is more expensive, but this takes us back to the Big Three principle – dermatologists keep telling everyone that money on expensive serums or products is simply wasted if you don’t use sunscreen. solar without fail.

“If you’re going to spend money anywhere, spend it on sun protection.”
