cheaper alternatives (if you live in germany)

for the sake of my skin's and hair's health i am currently using rather pricey products mostly, but i'm on the look-out for cheaper (drugstore) alternatives. and there are a few good ones:

instead of using lush's big shampoo to deep cleanse your hair (especially if you're otherwise using products that contain silicones) use the balea deep-cleansing shampoo. it has the same effect and it's much cheaper. i wouldn't advise you to use a shampoo or conditioner that contains silicones, but i have to admit that sometimes, if i don't have the time for my proper hair routine, i will use a leave in conditioner that does contain silicones. so i need a deep cleansing shampoo once a week to get rid of the residue.

instead of using lush's face cleansing fresh farmacy soap, try balea soapfree wash lotion. it works just as well and (as it is a drugstore own-brand) it is loads cheaper than any lush product.

instead of using frizz ease daily nourishment leave in conditioner, try one of the herbal essence serums- they have them to prevent split ends, for shiny hair,... (either one contains silicones!)

any other cheaper options? please let me know!

most of my skin care routine i'm already changing back to ALL balea products. i keep trying out new things and then going back to my old favorite. i have combination/oily skin that tends to be sensitive in winter.

i have yet to find a cheaper option for my favorite shampoo/conditioner combos: the body shop banana and burt's bees pomegranate. i am quite satisfied with the yves rocher shampoo i have, but there's (as far as i know) no conditioner available to go with it :/
