I only buy some hand cream and lip balm from Avon....I stock up when its on sale...so lets say about five or six dollars a month....I don't wear any make up at all...

I think up until I was around 50 I spent Zero on skin care. I bought makeup but nothing on skincare. I wish I had known about sunscreen ! Now I spend a small fortune on skincare.

I just sent my CPA my Quicken files for taxes, so I have the actual number. $32 per month when I divide out the 4 products I buy every year: prescription Renova (generic), moisturizer, Elta MD 41 SPF, and cleanser.

Why would you send your skin care receipts to the CPA - they aren't deductible, are they?

Not deductible but they are taxed so for reimbursal, I would think.

I leave taxes up to a professional, but wow, I don't think we send him receipts for all our purchases that are taxed. Why would we do that?

I would think, though, that some skincare might be tax deductible if it is considered a necessary medical treatment. Maybe that's what she was talking about?

Hah! No,skincare is not deductible. I wrote that because I had just created a report in Quicken for my CPA ... and it shows my annual expenses for everything - all expenses during the year. So, I just glanced at the annual total for skincare and divided by 12 to answer the OP's question. Sorry my response created such confusion!

skincare is not tax deductible.

So is this bogus?

I'm a skin care junky and have the skin to prove it, I don't know what I spend monthly, but I'm sure it's a lot.

I buy Dr. Denese for myself and my daughter. I never want to think of what it costs to keep both of us supplied in this stuff.

She lives in Denver and she swears by it. I love it too and will probably never change, but I don't want to know how much I spend.

She doesn't care because I buy it and sent it to her.

Not much at all. I use cereve hydrating cleanse, a Eucerin moisturizer, Neutrogena sunscreen, and at night Origins cleansing oil. I probably buy cleanser and moisturizer twice a year, the oil once a year, and sunscreen much more often. I have extremely sensitive skin that hates new products so I stick with what I know works. I also like to keep it really simple.

The products don't really work. I just buy moisturizers once a year.

Kind of hard to calculate. I use a couple of things that I feel is essential, and roughly, it comes out to less than 40 a month. My a.m. face wash alone is less than a penny a day!
