The global coronavirus pandemic could not but lead to an economic crisis. Today, not everyone has the opportunity to spend as much on their appearance as before. But look around: do you see unkempt or unkempt women in front of you? No matter how it is! At any time, ladies manage to look good. And for this it is not at all necessary to buy expensive cosmetics or spend fabulous money on salon procedures. It is enough to learn some useful beauty habits for significant cost savings.



Recent studies show that women in Russia spend about 30% of their TOTAL budget on beauty. And these are just the costs that can be tracked. And how much do we buy "off hand" or outbid? Many? Still would! And during the crisis, the issue of economy is especially acute. Saving is not just buying cheap low-quality cosmetics, it is also being able to plan your expenses in the beauty industry.

In America there is even a special term - "beautinomics". This is the whole science of planning your expenses for maintaining your appearance with the aim of significant savings. Its main principles are a clear prioritization of what is actually needed to look your best. mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ shares the secrets and rules of beauty that are used all over the world.

The philosophy of smart consumption

Buying cosmetics has become a source of pleasure for many girls. In sweets, you need to limit yourself, alcohol is harmful, and should also be excluded, love is not enough, the sun's heat is also not enough. And cosmetics does not do any harm, only benefit and beauty in its purest form! Therefore, we buy cosmetics, collect and look forward to our favorite brands launching new collections.

When cosmetics become a source of true pleasure, it is difficult to refuse new purchases, because you are already addicted. Quitting addiction brings suffering and depressive mood. Especially if it is a forced refusal. If incomes are shrinking, we cannot afford the same level of consumption. And here only the philosophy of rational consumption can come to the rescue.

It is important to study your real needs and desires imposed by the consumer society. To study and share what we really need, what we want, and what we have been indoctrinated and imposed. How much cosmetics do we need to create make-up and care, and what products will be used 1-2 times, and then will remain to decorate our collection? At the same time, do not forget that cosmetics cannot be stored indefinitely! Jewelry gold and precious stones can be safely collected, and cosmetics will have to be thrown away someday.

The philosophy of reasonable consumption is a big work on ourselves, which, step by step, day after day, will lead our consciousness to greater freedom. If you do everything right, then after a couple of years you can always be joyful and happy, and you will need a little cosmetics, but the best.

Choose the right beauty market

Yes, a store on the other side of town can have the same shampoo as a beauty store near your home, but at a discount. But if you have a map of your store, why not shop entirely in it?

Firstly, there is no need to spend money on transport or gasoline, going around outlets for a penny discount. Secondly, many loyalty cards are most beneficial when they are used constantly. The system of accumulating bonuses or increasing the discount is available only to regular customers.Therefore, it makes sense to choose a store near your home, where you can buy everything you need in one go and use its loyalty program.

Don't give up on probes

You should not give up samples and demo versions of products that are given as a gift upon purchase. In many stores, a probe can be purchased separately for little money. Think rationally: only by trying a particular product or tone of decorative cosmetics, you can determine whether it is right for you. And having bought the full version of an unfamiliar product, there is a risk of miscalculation. It's the same with the beauty racks in beauty markets: there are definitely demo testers there, and you can always try a shade of foundation or lipstick on your skin.

In perfume shops, smell perfume testers, try them on the skin and do not refuse, again, the proposed samples or fragrant sachets.

Do not buy cosmetics "for later"

Any funds have their own expiration date. Even if you have been using the same cream for years and do not change it, it is still difficult to predict what exactly your skin will suddenly need in a month, or what problem may arise. Even though all goods become more expensive over time, it makes no sense to pack the shelves in the refrigerator with creams and serums "in reserve".

It is really more economical to take care products, for example, shower gel or body cream, in large packages. But you need to do this only with the cosmetics that are definitely consumed by you the fastest. Decorative cosmetics also tend to be annoying, so there is no point in buying three identical shades of lipstick just because today there is a promotion like "1 + 1 = 3".

Read the composition of funds

The lion's share of the costs of any cosmetic concern goes to marketing and advertising. And the more expensive the brand's cosmetics, the more is spent on it. And advertising, as you know, is the engine of trade. Therefore, we easily believe in commercials or "research" proving that this cream will definitely get rid of wrinkles three times faster than others. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully study the composition of the product.

If you liked the effect of a certain cream, see what active substances are in the composition. And now it will be possible to search for them in a more affordable analogue. Often, both luxury cosmetics and mass-market products are manufactured at the same factory and based on the same raw materials. And by studying the composition, you can determine "your" components and not significantly save.

Consider a care system

This applies to the face, body and hair. The system should consist of two mandatory steps: thorough cleansing and good hydration, and this applies to both skin and curls. Without a thorough cleansing, not a single expensive cream, not a single hair balm can act in full force. Skin toning is an optional step, as are face or hair masks. But if you are used to not skipping these steps, be sure to consider what tools you need.

Also analyze what you can do without. For example, you rarely use oil for hair, as the curls quickly turn oily. Then is it worth including it in your shopping list if it ends? Maybe get along?

Don't skimp on foundation

But tonal creams are just what you shouldn't save on. In Europe, women spend 25% of their entire beauty budget on them. And this is fully justified. After all, it is better not to put anything on your face than to apply a low quality foundation, which will make the “spotty” effect. Anything that should remain on your skin all day long should be really high quality.

A good foundation can work wonders: even out skin tone, remove imperfections, make your face glow and flawless. And if it is of poor quality and selected incorrectly, it will nullify your entire image, even if it includes furs and diamonds!

Experiment!

In the end, experiments with beauty products have not yet been canceled.And they often help to save a lot. Replace body cream, décolleté cream, hand cream and foot cream with one product - just body cream. Better yet, use natural oils: they can be applied to the skin of the face and body, to the hands instead of a cream or cuticle agent, to the hair.

Doesn't the face cream fit? It can be used for hands or feet! Are brown eyeshadows suddenly too dark for eye makeup? Try to emphasize your eyebrows with them. And mother-of-pearl, which look creepy on the eyelids, can be used as a highlighter. Etc. You can always find different loopholes to save on beauty without any damage!
