When you think of the skincare routines of celebrities and experts in the beauty industry, you automatically just assume they're full of very expensive, fancy brands the average folk can't really afford to splurge on. Full of 'La Mer' this and 'caviar' that, etc. etc.
However, as someone who regularly interviews all sorts of different names in the industry, I have to say, you'd be surprised to learn that it is quite the opposite.
I find that many of my guests on You Beauty's The Formula are partial to affordable products that get the job done without splurging.
Watch: Speaking of You Beauty, here's Liegh Campbell trying out the 'diamond lips' trend. Post continues below.
Take, for example, model, actor and businesswoman, Ellie Gonsalves.
She’s fronted magazines and worked with brands like L'Oréal, FENTY Beauty, Gucci, and a You Beauty favourite, Ole Henriksen.
"Sometimes your skin just changes. I'm 33, my skin is different to what I was when I was 20, when I was 18, when I was 16. So really skin for me has been like a bit of a journey over time. It'll be the same when I'm 40, I probably won't be able to use some things that I'm using now," she said.
One particular serum Ellie can't get enough of right now? The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution Serum, $10.70. Yep. (It's under 11 bucks — we love to see it!).
