Save Money on Your Beauty
 

Making ourselves look good can cost alot of money but it doesn't have to. Here we reveal some tips for you to save money on those expensive beauty treatments.
 
  • Use old shampoo you don’t want as bubble bath
  •  
    Use conditioner can soften hair before shaving
  • Mix fake tan with moisturiser as it can make it last longer
  • Try to declutter by using up all your old shampoo bottles, soaps etc
  • Out of date suncream can be used as a body moisturiser
  • Use gloves to keep your hands soft & young when washing up
  • Hand or even foot moisturiser can be made by mixing 1 tablespoon of olive oil with 1 tablespoon of sugar (Massage, leave for 2 mins then rinse off)
  • For super white nail tips soak your fingers in lemon juice for 10 mins to take out any yellowness.
  • A dab of toothpaste on a spot could get rid of the those spots as well as expensive spot cream

 

  • To get help cellulite use coffee grinds & add to shower gel, rub over dimply bits. Caffeine is used in lots of fancy anti-cellulite creams. It’s also got oil in it so your skin is nice & smooth.
  • You can get the last of your nail polish by adding a few drops of nail polish remover to a bottle & giving it a good shake. 
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice has a slight bleaching effect on your hair (use for highlights) but don’t use too much or it dries out your hair
  • Save sample bottles of shampoo to use on holiday instead of paying for them.
  • Mayonnaise can be used on face & then rinsing it off.
  • Cold tea bags or cucumber slices over your eyes can reduce bags under your eyes. Mashed up bananas for left for 10 mins can be used for the same thing.
  • Add a cup of milk to your bathwater to make your skin feel fabulous (It worked for Cleopatra)
  • Make a scrub made form half cup of brown sugar, one eighth of a cup of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of honey sand some essential oils like rosemary, mint or grapefruit.Use about 1 tablespoon esp on rough hands, elbows or feet.
  • A handful of oatmeal to your bath will soften your skin.
  • Skin of avocado can soften elbows.

 


  • Rinse fine hair in beer to give more body.
  • Egg yolk in the hair can be a great conditioner & makes it shiny, but rinse off with cold water.
  • Shaving cream massaged into the scalp & washed with cold water can be used instead of clear dandruff without using expensive anti dandruff shampoo.
  • Cold milk can be used as eye make up remover & cleanser.
  • Make perfume last longer by applying a thin layer of Vaseline to your skin & spray it on perfume.
  • Exfoliator- Sugar or salt mixed with baby oil can be rubbed on to the face

 

  • You can often get a free make up makeover at some shops where they try to get you to buy their products but you don’t have to buy these
  •

  • Local beauty colleges often offer a discount on massage & facials

 

  • Try a hair dressing college. Students are supervised so you wont come out with a shocking hair cut. Be prepared though as it may take some time compared to your local salon.
