10 Affordable Beauty Products Celebs Swear By for Amazing Skin

Celebs are often working with the world’s best makeup artists, dermatologists and skincare experts, so they are constantly introduced to top-of-the-line beauty products—and lining their beauty cabinets with them. While it comes as no surprise when the A-list talk about the products they can’t live without that require a whole pay cheque to purchase, my ears always perk up when I hear about an affordable find they love just as much. So what are the best drugstore beauty products you can find in the skincare routines of celebrities?

Ahead, discover 10 drugstore products celebrities swear by—from the hydrating balm Beyoncé slathers on before bed to the £4 face scrub that Gigi Hadid swears by to the unexpected product Jennifer Lopez’s makeup artist uses to create super-illuminated skin, and more. Here, see why each of these are must-haves, and shop them for yourself.
