[…] Being a frugalista for the most part, I’ve always looked for beauty products more on the lower end. However, it was a completely different story when it came to the appearance of my skin. […]

I don’t spend much on skin care either, but my one splurge is Clinique’s All About Eyes (I use the ‘rich’ formula.) It’s about $30 or $40 for a tiny jar, but it lasts forever. I think I go through one a year. I’ve been using this stuff for years and I’m 30 and have no undereye circles or wrinkles.

[…] was pleasantly surprised that not many people judged me too much in the first round of this analysis. This is probably because I don’t really spend that much on […]

I use Kose Infinity serum which costs $80USD in Hong Kong 3x a year, Qiora toner which I buy in NYC(Hong Kong does not carry) which costs $70USD 4x a year. Clarins foaming cleanser which I think is $20USD? I don’t wear makeup every day so the Clarins has lasted 8 months already!

I learned the hard way to never go cheap on my skin. I buy what works for me and don’t ever try to save.
Hope in a Jar did not work for me, unfortunately. But I have to admit that I love Apricot scrub!

I’m reaching my half-century but spend very little on skin care. When I was 23, I spent alot on moisturisers, scrubs and toners – when I didn’t need to – go figure! I’m blessed with good skin and a healthy self image. There’s no miracle product; good health inside and out – that’s beauty.

Gosh I wish I was 23 again! I still had breakouts in my early 20s though so I don’t miss those. My skin has cleared up for the most part now thank goodness. I prolly spend about $150 a year right now on products but I could easily spend more like 200-250 if I went to Sephora more often. It’s too easy to spend a fortune in there!

I don’t wash my face — so I don’t spend any money in this category. Strange.

I’d think that would be money well spent – it’s your FACE after all!

I should take some pointers from you. I use Dove sensitive bar soap on my face – and buy a 4pk once a year (costs $8). That’s it. No creams, toners, masks or anything else.

I do wear a light foundation and mascara though – so I probably spend another $80 each year on that.

I’ve never really added it up before, but that’s okay because it changes each year. I use my luxury spending money that I earn from the previous year to pay for this kind of stuff, so when I run out of money I just have to wait until the next year.
