Cheap skin care products doesn't always mean "bad" or "low quality." Remember, the beauty industry spends billions of dollars every year on marketing, so when you buy that $50 cream, you're paying for a massive advertising campaign. The truth is, you can locate great products at Target, Wal-Mart or Kohl's and all for less than $10.

Apricot Scrub by St. Ives
Price: $4 at Drugstores

This apricot scrub has been a drugstore shelf staple for decades, and there's a reason - it works, it's affordable and people like using it. As a scrub, you should only be applying it a few times a week maximum - the idea is to remove dead skin cells and freshen up your skin, not scrub it off. So, use this one sparingly.

The Beauty Benefits Beauty Unblemished Treatment Concealer
Cost: $6 at Wal-Mart

Got a big date or meeting and an even bigger pimple to match? This product is a lifesaver and packs a lot of punch for $6. One end of this innovative pencil treats the area with salicylic acid while the other end acts as a great cover-up which blends well.

If you find the cover-up end of this product too powdery or hard to blend, try dabbing the pencil end in a bit of water or moisturizer before you apply it. It will go on smoother.

Anti-Wrinkle and Anti-Blemish Scrub by Neutrogena
Price: $7 at Drugstores

This is another terrific product that contains salicylic acid, combined with a fantastic scrub that's like a facial peel in a tube. Used two to three times a week, it's an efficient way to destress and reveal brighter, fresher and pimple-free skin.

Try not to use this product too often as the acid and scrubbing action can irritate skin and cause redness and dryness. With this scrub, moderation is key.

Witch Hazel
Price: $2 to $6 at Drugstores

Pick up a toner like Clinique's popular toner and you'll quickly see that the real ingredients are water and witch hazel. For much less, you can make a witch hazel toner that will deflake your skin, restore a proper pH balance and complete your cleansing cycle.

To avoid over-drying your skin, try diluting straight witch hazel with water. Add ¼ cup of witch hazel to one cup of water for the perfect blend. Include a drop of lemon juice or a touch of mint for a cooling effect and nice scent.

Target's Coconut Body Butter
Cost: $8 at Target

This Target store brand blend of Coconut Body Butter is silky smooth and practically melts into your skin. If you're looking for a skin care solution for your entire body, this is it. The feeling is luxurious, but not too greasy.

Cheap skin care products can be found, but you just have to know where to look. Remember, simpler is often better, and don't be afraid to ask your drugstore makeup counter person for advice or tips on hot, new products.
