I did a similar thing when I was extremely broke – as in, I spent a total of $2 on 2 bottles of bath wash and moisturizer. I suffered from extremely dry skin and subsequently exczema which I’m still treating. Cheap, for what I’ll put on my skin, is now definitely a no-no.

Lol

London Gal
Yeah, those are some things I definitely would get from a dollar store.

Miss Definitely Maybe
Expensive, doesn’t work, cheap sucks, so what works?

Thanks for asking. Skin is back to normal.

Which reminds me — I haven’t been to the mall in ages…

My skin’s okay now — my friend recommended a vaseline lotion. I’ll give Nivea a try though — when I’m not broke.

Thompson
I’m not going to gamble with my body again .

It’s a convoluted world.

But ouch sorry about the bad experience with the skin products. Sometimes go to those Dollar Stores but usually not for things I’ll put on my body . Maybe a cheap glass or something when I really don’t have cash.

Sometimes buying cheap works. Other times you really do get what you pay for. Sadly there isn’t a universal rule to these things.

oh my! so, sorry.

I love the Dollar store myself but never by skin products from there. The product you got probably had too much alcohol in it and thus dried out your skin.

When you get some money, buy some Eucerin. Are you in the MD area? I would give you an extra bottle (I buy in bulk from BJ’s what with the large family I have, lol!)

Anyway, take care and thanks for your recent comment at Nigerian Curiosity.

lol… I Honestly love family dollar, Dollar tree and every other dollar stores out there.

The best lip gloss I’ve used was bought at the dollar store. My Goodness was that Lip gloss good or what?! And I still buy lip glosses from the dollar store.. (bite me somebody!)

I Like buying cheap and I think I’m the queen of cheap. But don’t get it twisted, I still buy expensive once in a while…

Most of the things I’ve bought at the dollar store always prove to be better than the expensive ones….

Never buy pharmaceutical or cosmetic products from cheap stores, most of them are items that did not pass quality control tests in factories, which means their PH Balance is faulty and they’ll cause reactions. How is your skin?

Buying cheap can be fun but sometimes these things have zero lifespan…though I have bought things for 1euro and they lasted longer than the regular price items.
