Selena Gomez has been appearing on our for you pages with snippets of her daily skincare ritual and we’re completely OBSESSED with the results. So far, over 210,000 TikTok users have used the #selenaskincare hashtag which has racked up over 10 billion views!
In one of her most recent skincare videos, Selena can be seen using some of the most iconic branded products in a six-step ultra-hydrating routine… However, not all of us have £765 to drop on La Mer’s The Concentrate serum, so Buzz Bingo scoured the internet for the very best dupes for Selena Gomez’s entire skincare routine, that is estimated to cost just over £1,000, for just £45 – And, you’ll get some some seriously glowy results.
Step 1: La Mer The Concentrate Dupe – Superdrug Me + Acacia Collagen Booster
In the first step of the routine, Selena is seen using the La Mer ‘The Concentrate’ serum to take off her make-up, which retails between £180 to £765 depending on size. Although we’re all lusting after a serum that aims to soothe, strengthen and protect your complexion whilst helping to reduce inflammation, it’s not worth dropping a mortgage payment on.
Superdrug’s own brand product Me+ Acacia Collagen Booster is a solid dupe, retailing for just £7.99. The serum aims to soothe and soften the complexion, with a targeted formula that will help to hydrate and nourish. If you’re also looking to reduce facial inflammation, a great top tip is to pop the product in the fridge or apply it with a jade roller.
Serums are typically used after washing the face and before applying a moisturiser, but we’re loving Selena’s unique way of make-up removal. If you are looking for an alternative to take off your makeup, Elf’s Holy Hydration, make-up remover balm is what you need. This product literally melts the make-up off of your face and leaves it silky smooth.
Step 2: Bioderma Sensibio Cleansing Micellar Water Dupe – Garnier Micellar Water
She then removes excess make-up with Bioderma’s ‘Sensibio Micellar Water’ which retails for £16.10, which actually isn’t a bad price compared to the rest of her routine.
However, it’s practically the same as Garnier’s ‘Micellar Water’, which you can bag for just £5.95. The Garnier Micellar Water has been a staple for most beauty gurus over the years as it’s great for removing make-up or as a toner after cleansing – we love a multipurpose product!
Step 3: Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner Dupe – Mario Badescu Facial Spray
After cleansing, the toner Selina uses is the ultra-hydrating Dermalogica ‘Multi-Active Toner’ which usually retails for £45.
For a solid dupe, we’d recommend Mario Badescu’s ‘Facial Spray’ infused with aloe, herbs and rosewater for a dewy glass-skin look for just £6.95. This dupe is actually approved by the star herself, as we often see her spritzing Mario Badescu Toner in some snippets of her many routines.
Step 4: La Mer The Renewal Oil Dupe – The Ordinary Borage Seed Oil
Selena truly is a La Mer stan as the fourth step in her routine is to apply La Mer’s super hydrating ‘The Renewal Oil’ which retails for £105. A good oil really is a key step to achieving that glass-skin look.
A great dupe list wouldn’t be complete with a ‘The Ordinary’ product, and for good reason! The Ordinary’s ‘100% Organic Cold-Pressed Borage Seed Oil’ is a complete bargain at just £4.10 and aims to soothe, nourish and calm the skin, whilst locking in moisture.
Step 5: Tatcha The Water Cream Dupe – Nivea Hydra Skin Effect Moisturiser
We can tell that Selena really loves all things hydration, as she begins the end of her routine with the Tatcha ‘The Water Cream’ which releases a burst of hydrating nutrients for the skin when applied.
The Tatcha cream retails for £63 however, you can get the same great results with Nivea’s incredible dupe, the Hydra Skin Effect Day Cream. This cream is infused with hyaluronic acid known for boosting the hydration of the skin and is just under a tenner at £9.99.
Step 6: Laneige Radian-C Cream Dupe – Revolution Vitamin C Radiance Cream
Selena locks everything in with Laneige ‘Radian-C Cream’ that combines a healthy mix of both vitamin C and E. The cream is available at £22.50, which is at the lower end of Selena’s skincare price range, however, there are cheaper dupes on the market.
Revolution’s Vitamin C Radiance moisturiser is only £10 and boasts some seriously glowy results. Even the name of the two products are practically the same.
A spokesperson from Buzz Bingo adds ‘Our customers love a bargain and they’re also pretty hot on celebrity trends. When we saw Selena Gomez’s out-of-this-world skincare routine, we thought that we could find dupes that are just as good and at a fraction of the price.’
