Our top tips to save on your daily beauty routine — plus, get a free fiver from our rewards club
OFF out tonight? Let Sun Savers help you look a million dollars, for a few quid.
There are lots of great ways to save on your beauty routine, and we asked the PromotionalCodes.org.uk pennypinchers to reveal their top tips.
A spokesman said: “Watching your beauty budget doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself to a new hair cut or pampering facemask, you just have to learn to be savvy about it.”
Here are the top tips:
- Visit beauty colleges: Most local beauty colleges will offer everything from a cut and blow-dry to manicures to massages for under £5. Not only are you supporting students, you’ll get a treatment at around 75 per cent off the normal price, and sometimes even free.
- Apply for samples: Lots of brands give free samples of products for testing or market research.
Look out for offers on social media and sign up online to your favourite labels’ mailing lists. - Get free make-up consultations from beauty bars: Most big brands offer free consultations at their department-store counters, where an artist will apply your make-up for you. It’s a great way to look your best for a big night out without forking out.
- Host a pampering party: Get your friends together to all swap and share your favourite tips, products and expertise.
- DIY hair and facemasks: Don’t fork out for expensive hair and face masks. Instead make your own with ingredients available at your local supermarket.
A great one to try is a banana hair mask. Simply blend bananas and honey together, and apply to your hair.
The result? Well-nourished and smooth hair which smells delicious. Search for more on YouTube. - Recycle old products for new replacements: Some cosmetics firms offer a discount on new products if you recycle your old containers. Check your fave firm’s policy as it can be a good saving.
- Dye your hair at home: Brits typically fork out £50 a time to have hair coloured or highlighted, but you can use a home kit from just £5. Ask a friend who has done it before to help.
- Try own brand: Switching to own-brand skincare like toner and cleansers can save a small fortune.
Some, like Aldi’s Laucra, have even won top awards.
