On top of the money and time we spend on our beauty regimen every single day, there are also those designated weekends when we go full out on the beautifying procedures with masks, treatments and so on. Those weekends, however, have a couple of significant downsides – spending even more money on beauty products and treating your face to a chemical concoction that could cause allergic reactions, irritation, etc. Why not save yourself the cons and go only for the pros by simply making the masks yourself!?

Some of us do admit it, while others are very reluctant – the fact that beauty products consume large portions of our budget on a monthly basis. We buy shower gels and shampoos, creams and lotions, masks and treatments, foundations, lipsticks, mascaras and so much more in an effort to look better and feel better about out appearance. But the good quality beauty products can be quite costly while the cheaper ones can actually do more harm than good. So how do we lower out beauty budgets without resorting to lesser quality cosmetics?

The beauty industry seem to have us right where they want us. They know our weakness. They publish pictures of stunning, airbrushed women with flawless skin next to their little bottle of miracles that claims to transform your skin – and your life, providing you part with a week’s worth of wages in exchange. So we do. Yes please, give me some snail slime. I won’t be able to afford to eat for the month, but I will have extraordinary skin. Who needs food when you have great skin?
