The cost of makeup, skincare products, haircare items and other beauty products can really add up. However, you don’t have to go broke to look beautiful. Follow these simple to tips to save money on beauty products.
Shop online
Shopping online is your best bet to save money on cosmetics and other beauty products. Comparison shop and use retailers such as drugstore.com and strawberrynet.com.
Go generic
Gasp! As horrible as it may sound, it’s really not that bad. I don’t mean that you have to give up your favorite lipstick or body scrub. But the generic version of many staple products will suffice, such as soap, body wash, body lotion and even eye cream.
Buy products that do double duty
Your body lotion can double as a sunscreen. Your tinted moisturizer can be your anti-aging cream. Products like baby lotion and astringent are great because they have multiple uses. Mineral makeup is another fine choice because a little goes a long way.
