BEAUTY products can be a splurge and it's tempting to find deals to replace the name-brand favorites you may use.
When it comes to buying beauty at Dollar Tree, a skincare expert said you need to think twice or your face will pay.

2. Scented products
Another one to avoid is scented products.
The example she pointed out was also by the brand Global Beauty Care.
It was the rose-scented gel face mask.
Daniella said any products which are scented are not good for your face and the ingredients in "these cheap face masks are not good for you".
3. Cute packaged products
This isn't a specific product but it applies to most things on the shelves.
Consumers are drawn to pretty packaging and brands know that.
Daniella said cute products are always "deceiving to make you want to buy it when the ingredients are actually terrible and can do damage to your face".
4. Lip and under-eye masks
You won't find lip and under-eye masks in Daniella's basket.
She said they do not work.
Instead, she said to try a good eye cream for under the eyes.
For lips, she recommends using a lip scrub or lip mask with oil.
5. Charcoal products
Aside from the charcoal strips, Daniella said to stay away from them, she also said to not waste your money on any charcoal products.
She said they're too rough on the face and can damage your skin barrier.
Daniella said: "I have personally used charcoal face masks and from my experience, they can cause redness and cause acne."
