FOR oily girls, there’s nothing worse than hot, sweaty days.
As perspiration can end up blocking pores and often leads to annoying breakouts.
But one beauty whizz has shared a 拢2.49 that can work wonders to stop spots – but it’s not from the skincare aisle.
Instead, you need to head to the baby section in high street store Savers, to pick up Vital Baby’s Hygiene Aquaint cleansing water spray.
“If you’re in the UK and you are sweating out of every orifice this one’s for you,” Lauren, who has worked in the beauty industry since 2017, said in a video on her TikTok page.
“I’m going to show you the ultimate product that you need for this summer when you’re absolutely sweating.
“Don’t say I don’t bring you the best of the best for a fraction of the price.”
The main ingredient of the Vital spray is hypochlorous acid.
And explaining why the liquid is so good for the skin on summer days, Lauren continued: “The reason I love hypochlorous acid, and why it’s so good if you’re oily and prone to acne, is because it fights bacteria without drying the skin.”
She added that a lot of the products she’s tried to fight acne end up drying out the skin, which then means you need “other products to combat that dryness”.
“It’s also an amazing anti-inflammatory – it helps with wound healing and you can use this on kids’ skin, hence why it’s in the baby section,” she said.
“I literally just love it as an all-purpose!”
Another benefit is that you can use it as many times as you want during the day, and you can even spray it over make-up.
“It doesn’t leave like a wet residue on your skin,” she added.
“I absolutely love it and it’s really cooling as well.”
Lauren has long been a fan of Clinisoothe’s hypochlorous mist, but at 拢19.50, it’s an expensive purchase.
So for just 拢2.49, she concluded that it’s a case of “Savers for the win”.
“I鈥檓 back with another high street find,” she captioned her video.
“This time @Savers doing the Lord’s work with this hypochlorous acid.”
“Need to get this!” one person wrote in the comments section of the TikTok.
“I sweat profusely from my face and head, it literally drips off,” another said.
“I’ve tried every known product on the market and prescription is this going to work?”
“I suffer with hyperhidrosis myself too,” Lauren replied.
“This doesn鈥檛 stop the sweat but it stops me from breaking out due to the sweat sitting on the surface.”
“I know where I鈥檓 going on lunch,” a third laughed.
“So this would be good for teenage spots…. Easy to apply, doesn’t dry skin, sounds like a winner to me!” someone else said.
To which Lauren responded: “Absolutely – amazing for after sports too for teenagers”.
She added that it’s also the “perfect size for a school bag”.
“Off to Savers I go,” another wrote.
