Introduction
Looking great doesn’t have to drain your wallet.
In Singapore, where new skincare products and treatments seem to pop up every day, it’s easy to feel you need to spend a fortune for real results. The good news? You can still get glowing, healthy skin without paying premium prices—or cutting corners on quality.
At Wellaholic, we believe everyone deserves effective skincare backed by science and value. Let’s explore smart, simple ways to save money on your routine while keeping your standards high.
According to a survey by Wellaholic, about 27% of people in Singapore had facial treatments at least once every two months in 2023.
1. Do Your Research on Skincare Products
t Wellaholic, we know it’s important to understand what’s in your skincare. Not every product is made the same. We have helped thousands of customers, so we’ve seen what really works. We look at research that uses special tools—like the Cutometer (measures how stretchy your skin is) and the Corneometer (checks how much water is in your skin). These tools help us choose products that show real results.
We care about how products are tested, too. The best studies are called double-blind and controlled. This means no one in the test knows who gets the real skincare and who gets just a simple cream. That way, the results are fair and honest. When we pick products for our customers, we make sure they pass these tough tests.
We always check the ingredients, as well. Some things you find in many products might not be safe—especially for children and teens who are starting skincare for the first time. At Wellaholic, we want you to feel confident about what goes on your skin.
2. Buy Skincare Products in Bulk
At Wellaholic, we understand the value of buying skincare products in bulk, both for our outlets and our customers. We’ve seen how bulk purchasing helps us maintain consistent product quality while keeping costs down. This approach lets us pass on the savings to our customers at Wellaholic, who enjoy premium skincare treatments without the premium price tag.
Through our experience managing multiple aesthetic outlets, we’ve learned that bulk buying isn’t just about getting better prices. It’s also about ensuring we always have the right products on hand for our treatments. We carefully select high-quality skincare items that match our strict standards and work well for different skin types. This way, we can give our customers at Wellaholic the best possible results while keeping our services affordable.
3. Use Coupons and Discounts
At Wellaholic, we love helping our customers save money on their beauty treatments. We often see customers get excited when they find out about our special deals and packages. Our team makes sure to tell every customer about our current promotions, whether it’s a seasonal discount or a package deal. We also share these offers on our social media pages and through our email newsletters.
We notice that many of our customers at Wellaholic enjoy using our monthly packages. These packages let them save up to 25% on their favorite treatments. For example, when customers buy a package of six IPL sessions, they pay less per session than if they booked each one separately. Plus, we always have special promotions during holidays like Chinese New Year and Christmas, which gives our customers even more ways to save.
4. Shop at Singapore Drug Stores
At Wellaholic, we often get questions about where to buy skincare products in Singapore. We recommend checking out Guardian, Watsons, and Unity pharmacies. These stores are easy to find in most shopping malls. They stock a wide range of skincare items at good prices.
We tell our customers at Wellaholic that these drugstores offer both basic and premium skincare options. You can find everything from simple cleansers to anti-aging serums. The staff at these stores can help you pick products for your skin type. Plus, they often have sales and special deals that make shopping even better.
5. Look for generic skincare brands
Generic skincare brands can be just as effective as the more expensive ones and are often more budget-friendly.
Many people think that higher price equals better quality, but that’s not always true for skincare products. The key is to know how to identify the best products among the ordinary ones, so you can save money without sacrificing quality.
When venturing into generics, the secret sauce is in scrutinizing the ingredient list—comparing it to that of high-end brands can reveal striking similarities, if not identical compositions. Research and read reviews and independent tests of these generic brands to gather more information. Keep going.
This homework can pay off in finding products that are both effective and economical.
6. Make your own skin care products
Diving into DIY skincare has been a delightful journey for many of my clients at Wellaholic. If you’re keen on giving your skin some love without stretching your wallet, why not try your hand at creating your own skincare products? It’s a perfect blend of science and art, allowing you to be the alchemist of your own beauty routine.
The beauty of DIY skincare lies in its simplicity and the joy it brings. It’s incredibly satisfying to use products made with your own hands, tailored just for your skin’s unique needs. Plus, you get to decide what goes into your concoctions, ensuring they’re as natural and pure as you want.
Not to mention, going the DIY route is a win for the planet too. By reusing containers and choosing sustainable ingredients, you’re making a choice that’s kind to the earth.
7. Find an affordable yet reliable facial service provider
