Having clear skin is something that a lot of people desire both girls and boys alike.

Achieving clear skin on a budget is possible with some simple yet effective strategies. You don't necessarily need to have expensive products to achieve clear skin.

The Star talked to an expert dermatologist Pancholi Mahendra who provided some insights on how to get a clear face.

Here are some cost-effective tips that he listed to get a clear face.

Prioritise basic skincare

Focus on the essentials of skincare which includes: cleansing, moisturising and sun protection.

Invest in affordable but gentle cleansers, and moisturisers to keep your skin clean, hydrated, and protected.

Do not over-exfoliate as it may give rise to wounds on your face.

By maintaining a consistent skincare routine, you can prevent potential skin issues before they arise, saving money on costly treatment

Incorporate homemade skincare remedies using natural ingredients like honey and yoghurt 

These ingredients can be effective in treating acne, soothing irritation, and nourishing the skin without breaking the bank but keep in mind that these can work for others while may not work for other people.

One has to simply take a chance!

Choose multi-purpose products

Look for skincare products that serve multiple purposes to save money. For example, a moisturiser with added SPF can eliminate the need for a separate sunscreen, or a cleanser with exfoliating properties can replace a separate exfoliator.

Avoid harsh products

Harsh skincare products containing alcohol, fragrances, and sulfates can strip the skin of its natural oils and cause irritation.

Opt for gentle, non-irritating products that are suitable for sensitive skin to avoid unnecessary expenses on skincare treatments for irritated skin.

Stay hydrated and eat healthy

Drinking plenty of water and consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables can promote healthy skin from within.

Well-hydrated and nourished skin is less prone to breakouts, inflammation, and other skin issues, reducing the need for expensive skincare treatments.

By implementing these budget-friendly skincare tips and strategies, you can achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin without spending a fortune on skincare products and treatments.

Remember to be patient and consistent with your skincare routine, as it may take time to see noticeable improvements in your skin. But it is advisable to seek expert medical assistance
