The same study also reports that interest in men’s skin care has grown 411 percent in the past five years. Beauty is a priority for all of us! And if you think taking care of yourself—a la skin care, hair care, makeup and nails—is just for women, think again.
Of course, $17,000 over a lifetime is a heck of a lot of money. But you don’t have to break the bank to get quality beauty products (and you certainly don’t have to spend thousands of dollars).
1. Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask
Tata Harper is synonymous with “luxury.” As such, the skin care brand has become a fan-favorite amongst beauty bloggers and influencers. Most notably, all TH products are 100 percent natural—full of botanical ingredients that are non-toxic and free from fillers, synthetics, artificial colors and fragrances—and are made fresh on their farm in Vermont.
As a general rule, opting for Tata Harper is always a good idea, but we get it: Some of their other products can be pricey. If you’re on a budget, the Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask provides a beautiful glow, refines pores and even smoothes and softens skin texture using 18 high-performance botanicals. It’s a must-have.

3. AmorePacific Treatment Enzyme Peel Cleansing Powder
Always paraben-, sulfate- and phthalate-free, the AmorePacific Treatment Enzyme Peel Cleansing Powder uses papaya enzymes to support healthy cell turnover and lotus flower extract for long-lasting moisture. Use it as you would a regular cleanser (although this one transforms from powder to exfoliating foam once you wet and lather it up) to wash away impurities, remove makeup and dead skin and as a daily part of your overall skincare regimen. You should see clearer, brighter skin and smaller pores within a few uses.

You can apply as many times a day as you like, and it’s even perfect for unisex use as well.
9. Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream with Zinc SPF 30
For those of us who prefer a fresh-faced, dewy look instead of a full-on makeup bake, Juice Beauty makes the perfect (organic!) solution. Their Stem Cellular CC Cream with Zinc SPF 30 is a two-in-one multi-tasking color-correcting cream that slows down the appearance of aging and perfects your complexion. It’s also got broad-spectrum sun protection, which is crucial to maintaining your skin’s natural plumpness and overall youthful look.
