    31 Affordable Beauty Products From Target That'll Upgrade Your Routine

    Because an upgrade doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.

    1. A rose remedy mask that will soothe red and irritated skin while providing deep hydration. Plus, this jar is HUGE! It'll last forever, so this is basically an investment product without ever breaking the bank.

    2. A hydrating facial cleanser, because cleaning your skin should NOT mean stripping it of its vital oils! Seriously, your skin *needs* the healthy bacteria and oils that traditional foaming cleansers strip away. Protect your lipid barrier with a moisturizing cleanser (like this one) that rids the skin of the day's grime, while simultaneously hydrating.

    3. A 1% adapalene gel that is essentially an all-in-one for combating breakouts, fine lines and wrinkles, and even hyperpigmentation in skin, across all age groups. With just a few weeks of use, everyone will be asking who your dermatologist is, even though you spent less than 15 bucks on this simple addition to your routine.

    4. A double-repair moisturizer with SPF 30 that works to provide a soothing hydration to damaged skin while protecting it from the sun. Try this thick moisturizer if your skin has just two moods: dry and angry.

    5. A set of pimple patches, because who has the time to wait for a pimple to heal on its own?! These hydrocolloid patches draw impurities from breakouts overnight to speed up the life cycle of a pimple.

    6. A water-gel moisturizer that is packed to the brim with hyaluronic acid, a humectant your skin needs for a plump, dewy appearance. It gives a glow that only seems to come after drinking a gallon of water, making it the only moisturizer your routine will ever need.

    7. A glow-getter honey mask, since honey is a vital ingredient for balancing and nourishing the skin. Honey works to hydrate and soothe the skin deeply, while getting rid of breakouts with its antimicrobial properties. Clear and dewy skin during the summertime for a fraction of the price of a facial? Sign me up.

    8. A rosewater spray that you can easily spritz on throughout the day to amp up the glow factor in your skin. This spray contains rosewater, an antioxidant that keeps breakout- and redness-prone skin in check.

    9. An all-in-one hydrating milk toner that reintroduces hydration to your skin after cleansing. Use this in conjunction with a hydrating serum and a moisturizing cream, and watch your skin ~glow.~

    10. A glycolic acid resurfacing gel, because chemical exfoliation will always reign supreme! Along with dissolving acne-causing dead skin cells, chemical exfoliators also work to up the ante on collagen and elastin production, meaning that it'll make your skin firmer too. How's that for adding a boost to your skincare collection?

    11. A castor oil that you can simply comb through your lashes and brows with a spooly brush, or massage into your scalp for a spa-like experience that'll help with hair growth. Oh, and you get all these amazing benefits for the same price as your daily latte.

    12. A vitamin C booster eye cream, because the skin around your eyes are the most prone to damage and aging, so you must, must, MUST protect it in any way you can. Shield your skin from free-radical damage with antioxidants like vitamin C, and watch your fine lines and wrinkles plump to a smooth state of perfection.

    13. A clay mask that'll draw impurities and excess oil from the pores with charcoal, while protecting and hydrating your skin with antioxidant-rich acai oil. It's basically the mask version of a pore strip, yet won't do any damage to your skin (because pore strips are really harmful to your delicate skin, folks!).

    14. A chia facial oil to soothe any redness or irritation in the skin while locking in moisture for hours on end. Use this every night and soon you'll wake up with skin as smooth as a baby's bum.

    15. A retinol serum, because you don't have to wait to start using retinol! This nifty ingredient can diminish the appearance of deep-set wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and even clear the skin of any breakouts. Just make sure to always use SPF alongside retinol, and your skincare routine is complete.

    16. A jade gua sha tool for those days when your skin feels and looks puffier than usual. Consider gua sha a workout (that you'll actually *want* to do) for your face. This tool is great for moving stagnant lymphatic fluids under your skin that cause puffiness, dryness, and even breakouts.

    17. A lengthening mascara with which the entire internet, from TikTok to YouTube, is enamored. This mascara brings each individual lash to lengths you thought were only possible with falsies or a lash growth serum.

    18. A pore-erasing primer, because the key to having flawless skin is minimizing the look of pores. With just a few swipes, this primer blurs texture, and reduces shine, too. It works perfectly under makeup but is fantastic on its own too, so that you can show off your blemish-free dedication to your skincare routine!

    19. An anti-microbial makeup sponge that will blend your foundation, concealer, cream blushes and bronzers so seamlessly that even you might wonder if you're wearing makeup.

    20. A creamy powder bronzer to add a lit-from-within warmth and dimension to your skin, which is especially great if glitter isn't your thing.

    21. A clean corrective tinted moisturizer with SPF 30 *and* vitamin C that has a one-two punch of upping the ante on both your makeup and skincare collection. While the CC cream evens out your skin tone, the SPF and vitamin C protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, as well as free radicals.

    22. A dual-ended brow pencil that is perfect for filling in large gaps in the brows, and drawing on wispy hair-like strokes for a natural appearance.

    23. A matte-finish setting spray so that you can walk around during the summer without a worry in the world as to whether or not your makeup is melting off your face.

    24. An eyeshadow palette that draws inspiration from the glorious colors of the earth and ocean. Opt for neutral shades during the work day and intense cool shades during nights out with friends. This palette will round out your makeup collection since it has basically every color you'll ever need.

    25. A shimmer lip gloss, because honestly, what's a better upgrade to your beauty routine than a shimmer lip gloss?!

    26. A cream blush to add a flush to your complexion without masking your skin with heavy powder in the summer. Because who has time to apply blush with multiple tools when all you *need* are your fingers for a quick blend?

    27. A glow enhancer that I've personally used as a base to my makeup for years. This product adds a subtle glow to the skin that basically makes you look like you just got a facial.

    28. A texturizing sea salt spray, because summertime is here which means the season of beach waves are here as well. Use this to add a carefree, wavy texture to your hair.

    29. A clean and light dry shampoo, since washing your hair every day is not the best thing for your scalp and hair health. Use this dry shampoo between washes to soak up any excess oil and continue looking fresh.

    30. A curl-defining styling lotion, because your curls need extra TLC in the summertime! Use this moisturizing lotion to add bounce, volume, and definition.

    31. And a 10-in-1 styler that detangles, softens, smoothes, and even heat-protects your hair. Once you get this product, you won't be able to stop using it.
