Beauty

[gradstudentMom]

We spend so much money on our skincare regimes that I thought it might be fun for us to share some of our own thriftier formulas and techniques for saving money while maintaining our appearances.

For instance:

-Instead of buying treatments from companies boasting their formula can whiten my nails I use a lemon wedge. Rubbing lemon across nails whitens the enamel.

-Instead of throwing out clumpy mascara place the tube in a cup of hot water for 5 minutes.

-Soak feet in dark beer to treat fungus.

-Mixing a whole peeled kiwi with a teaspoon or so of lime juice and pureeing makes a great skin treatment for shrinking pores.
