Including a super-cheap retinol cream and a sleeping mask that really *does* block out light!
I'm prone to *pretty* severe breakouts, so when I found this cheap acne cream that reviewers raved about, I knew I had to give it a try. I'm incredibly glad I did – it's gotten rid of my most severe spots, and now I use it daily to enjoy its results.
Price: £12.78.
I'd nearly given up on this (frankly gross) baking tray and tried this well-reviewed cleaning powder as a last resort. It was easy to use – I just placed it into the tin and scrubbed until the stains had gone before rinsing the grime away!
Price: £3.00.
Spray some of its enzyme-packed formula onto any affected surfaces and a thick foam will come out, which then works its limescale-destroying magic for five minutes at most.
Price: £2.99.
Leave this foaming spray on any affected areas for up to half an hour and then wipe it away to reveal a mildew-free surface underneath!
Price: £5.25.
I just chucked these handy balls into my crisper drawer and fruit bowl. Their carbon centres absorb any chemicals that might spoil my fruit and veg, and I've been amazed by how well they work!
Price: £6.09 for three.
Our loo had some serious limescale buildup, and it was getting pretty disgusting. I eventually found out about pumice cleaning blocks online and nabbed this inexpensive one after reading its rave reviews! Just wet the stone, rub it over your grossest surfaces, and then rinse or wipe the dirt away – it's really easy to use, and it'll work on your ovens and barbecues too.
Price: £2.40.
The hydrocolloid patches stick to your skin and slowly draw the gunk out of your spots (so gross, but so satisfying). They also blur the edges of your spot and dull any redness when you're wearing them – what's not to love?!
Price: £5.69 for 24 patches.
My lips have been really dry lately, so I tried this intensive mask as a last resort. I've been impressed by the results, and it feels surprisingly lightweight too!
Price: £4.50.
The salicylic acid in this soap decongests my pores, while the sulphur removes any bacteria in my skin and absorbs excess oil. The bar is studded with almond and walnut shell particles to exfoliate my skin, and it also contains replenishing vitamin E. No wonder my skin has cleared up significantly after I started using this bad boy!
Price: £6.98.
This stick has gotten some rave reviews, so I was pretty keen to give it a go myself. I've been really impressed by how well it works and how easy it is to apply — I just run it over my forehead and wait for two minutes or so for its soothing formula to get to work! It's ideal if, like me, you're not a fan of taking painkillers every time you feel some tension in your forehead (and unlike with regular medication, you can reuse this product as many times as you want to).
Price: £4.00.
NGL, I was a *little* skeptical about this stuff because it sounded too good to be true. A couple of uses in though and I'm completely converted! It makes my skin look naturally dewy, smooth, and hydrated, and it feels really lightweight too.
Price: £19.95.
It has beads inside the handle to filter and descale the water before it comes out of the head, so it's perfect if you're living in a hard water area. It has three powerful settings (massage, rainfall, and combination) that you can toggle between by clicking the handy button on its side! I couldn't get over how easy it was to install, and I *still* feel like I'm in someone else's much fancier bathroom whenever I use it.
Price: £15.99 for a shower head and a 2m-long hose.
It'll stay firm in cold water to tackle tough stains without scratching your dishes, and it softens up in warmer liquid for lighter washing! I use the 'smile' to clean my cutlery, and it's kept its shape after weeks of use.
Price: £3.49.
