Let’s get one thing straight: an expensive cleanser is so not worth it IMO. It literally goes down the drain! Save your money for formulas that stay on your skin and actually do the work. That said, there are a few products I would (and do) splurge on — the kind that change your skin long-term and show results. These are my “worth it” picks: backed by science, proven by results, and indulgent in the best way.

With prices creeping up (thanks, tariffs and inflation 🙃), I’ve had to get really intentional about where my beauty budget goes. So here’s the deal: if I only had $100 to spend, what would make the cut? These are the five products I’d buy on repeat.

Skincare is in its spritz era. From body moisturizers you can spray on in seconds to collagen-boosting serums in mist form — and even toning mists that promise balance + hydration in one step — sprays are everywhere. But are they actually saving you time…or just making you feel like you’re saving time?
