Speaking to The US Sun, she revealed the budget-friendly purchases she makes to look flawless.
SKIN SAVERS
Yorke said cleansing is the first step in her day and night skin care routine.
“My favorite is the Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanser because it has vitamin C, which is something my skin is quite sensitive to when I use it in serum form,” she said.
“Then I like to use a toner in the form of a mist, followed by my absolute must-have: a hyaluronic acid serum for instant hydration.
“My personal favorite is the L’Oreal Revitalift serum.
“I finish with a moisturizer.
“I prefer to use a gel-based moisturizer because it’s quite light. Finally, I always have to use SPF 50.”
She revealed that Tree Hut Body Scrub is a “must” in her skincare routine, as is The Ordinary’s glycolic acid toning solution.
She said the $13 purchase price is an imitation of the Pixi glycolic acid, which costs $29.
“The Ordinary glycolic acid has been an absolute game changer for me,” she said.
“I remember when I bought it and thinking it would take me ages to finish this bottle, but it’s not even been 3 months and I’m already on my second bottle.
“It really helped even out my skin tone, not only on my face, but also under my arms.”
MAKE-UP MUST-HAVES
CVS, Walgreens and Target are among Yorke’s favorite stores to hunt for bargains.
She showed off some dupes from the items she kept in her makeup bag.
“I don’t use any top brand foundations anymore because the NYX Can’t Stop Won’t Stop foundation works so well for me that I’ve been wearing it for years,” she said.
“ELF Powergrip primer, I swear by it.
“A steal at $10 and a copy of the Milk Hydrogrip primer for $38.
“I swear by fixing sprays and fixing sprays
“I can’t wear makeup and leave the house without using both.
“I love wearing false lashes and my absolute favorite are the Samantha Lashes from Doll Beauty, which are a knockoff of the Lilly Lashes that cost $30.”
Pimple patches are a ‘super handy’ and quick solution for all pimples.
“I do everything I can to avoid dull skin because I’m quite insecure about it,” she says.
“I’m also a woman full of hormones, so I get those spots on my face every month.”
BEAUTY ENHANCERS
According to Yorke, her clear complexion is the result of proper hydration and her good genes.
“I know it might sound cliché, but I love water,” she said.
“When I’m thirsty, it’s water. When I’m in a restaurant, I drink water.
“I absolutely love it and have been doing it since I was a kid.
“But I also make sure I remove my makeup properly.
“Lifestyle changes have also had an impact on my skin.
“I drink less alcohol, go running every day and the extra dose of vitamin D has also helped.
