5 of the Best Affordable Skincare Tools & Accessories

Skincare Tools & Accessories

While skincare plays a big part in my everyday routine, there is also a few beauty tools and accessories I use within my daily, weekly and monthly routine that accompany many of of my skincare loves. So today I wanted to share with you my top 5 favourites that I cannot live without.

1. Muji Cotton Pads £2.95 for a 120
I have to let you in on a secret... these are the most softest cotton pads I've ever used! They are also a great dupe for the Shu Uemura Cotton Pads as well. Usually I tend to gravitate towards the large baby cotton wool pads, however once I discovered these I could feel the difference instantly. The Muji cotton squares, are so soft and are ideal for using with a micellar water, glycolic acid or toner.

2. Primark Face Cloths £1.30 for 3
If you use a cleanser day and night then you'll most probably be following up with some kind of cloth to wipe the cleanser off with as well. Now don't get me wrong I love a muslin cloth to remove my cleanser, and quite a few hot cloth cleansers come with a complimentary one too. However just lately I've been enjoying a good old flannel to wipe away the day and Primark do the best ones at only £1.30 for three! The flannel for me has just felt that little bit softer on my skin recently and it's also a lovely size to help wipe away your cleanser easily and efficiently.

3. Sally's Mask Brush £2.99 
Sometimes it can get a little messy when it comes to applying a traditional face mask, but add a brush into the mix and you're set for life... The brush I use is from Sally's but you can also use a flat foundation brush too.

Using a brush not only helps speed up the application process, it also assists in helping you be more precise with your application.

4. The Body Shop Blackhead Remover £4 
If you suffer from blackheads or the occasional spot, then this is the tool for you. This tool helps assist in eliminating any nastiness from the problem area and is best used right out of the shower or after a facial steam when your pores are open. All you do is just press the tool over those pesky blackheads or spots with a slightly heavy hand, then just follow up with a toner afterwards to clean the area up.

5. The Body Shop Facial Massager £8 
This last tool is like having your own facialist at home (it's also cheaper!). I actually Picked this up years ago from The Body Shop and it really is such a great tool to have to hand if you feel stressed or you're skin is in need of a little pick me up. Use this dry or with an oil and massage away all over the face to help your face glow from within.
