Spend Smart, Save Smart Tips

Ten Tips for Personal Hygiene

Use barber and beauty training schools for services. Prices are a fraction of what they are at regular salons.
Get hair cuts, manicures and pedicures when specials are offered.
Use local technical schools for low cost massages.
Buy grooming aids on sale instead of paying full price. Buy extra when offered at half-price or on special at "buy one, get one free.”
Maintain your own low-cost beauty regime by purchasing from discount stores or by using generic or store brand products.
Use a lip brush to get the remaining lipstick from down inside the tube.
Use common items in the home for beauty maintenance. For example, place cucumber slices on eyes to soothe and reduce puffiness.
Have alternate plans for bad hair days. Use hats, hair pieces and scarves.
Use low cost fragrances, body sprays, oils and lotions. Consider stores that sell imitation scents.
Use every bit of your products by placing them upside-down when they are nearly empty. The remaining contents will be more accessible.
