Money Saving Beauty Tips
- Olive oil; If you have olive oil in your cupboard it's worth noting that in fact olive oil can be used as a hair treatment. It can be used to treat dry or over processed hair by applying a few drops and combing through the hair just after shampooing or add to conditioner.
- Toothpaste; can be used to remove stain's to the skin ie tobacco heavy tanning stains hair colors. Toothpaste is relatively but is a great stain remover while not harming the skin.
- Moisturising; Tip I have heard over the years is to purchase sun creams out of season and use lightly as a moisturizer as most moisturizers contain UVA sunscreens to prevent aging. They can be used as a daily moisturizer to great effect.
- Home hair coloring; if you have a hiccup and need to take out a previously applied color. Wash your hair with a few drops of fairy liquid to remove out the color. Repeat as necessary make sure you follow-up with a condition treatment.
- Head lice; a good remedy and a preventive treatment is to us tea tree oil. This oil is quite easy to buy on a budget and can be used as a natural way to protect against and treat lice in young children for a fraction of the cost of dedicated lice shampoos.
- Insect repellent; most insect repellents are made up of a chemical substance called deet. A tip is to buy this in a more concentrated form and a very effective mosquito and insect spray can be made. Check the contents on most insect repellents and it will give a percentage of how much deet is inside you will be quite surprised.
- Multi-buys; look out for these as big savings can be made on multi products
- Down brand; check the labels often higher branded products will be more expensive, but in reality if you check the ingredients you will find the same can be found in lower branded products that do not have the marketing and advertising budgets to uphold they can often be found cheaper .
