When it comes to skin care, it’s easy to assume that you get what you pay for. The higher you go up in price, the better the results, right? Not necessarily. Sure, plenty of luxe skin care products can feel a dream on your complexion and make you look a million bucks, but so too can formulas that come in at a much more affordable price. Like these – all less than $20, plus they have a celebrity tick of approval.
