I’ve been thinking lately about how much women spend on makeup, clothing, and personal care, to maintain an appearance that really isn’t authentic.<\/p>\n

So I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how much I spend on\u00a0aesthetics\u00a0every year. But I’m going to start with skin care.<\/p>\n

I never used to spend a lot on my skin. Besides mild acne in middle school, I’ve been blessed with pretty decent skin; it’s not normally dry, and not super oily, and while it’s far from perfect, I’m sure this balance saves me some coin.<\/p>\n

My skin-care routine is as follows:<\/p>\n

1. Face Wash<\/h3>\n

I use two types of face wash – one for morning, one for night.<\/p>\n

A) Burts Bee’s Garden Tomato\u00a0Complexion Soap<\/strong> – $6\/Bar (4x\/year) = $28<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s been discontinued but it worked great. I guess I’ll have to find a new one.<\/p>\n

B) Generic facial cleanser<\/strong> – $10\/bottle (2x\/year) = $20<\/em><\/p>\n

I am currently using one that I don’t think I’ll continue to use.<\/p>\n

C) St Ives Apricot Scrub<\/strong> – $8\/bottle (2x\/year) = $16<\/em><\/p>\n

I exfoliate once every third day or so.<\/p>\n

2. Toner<\/h3>\n

$7\/bottle (3x\/year) = $21<\/em><\/p>\n

I use toner once per day. I currently use Neutrogena Deep Clean Dual Action Toner<\/strong>. It’s alright. I’m not attached to one toner over the next.<\/p>\n

3. Pore Strips<\/h3>\n

$14.99 (3x\/year) = $45<\/em><\/p>\n

These things are magic. I use Biore Pore Strips.<\/strong> I use them maybe once a week until I run out and then I forget to buy them for awhile.<\/p>\n

4. Face mask<\/h3>\n

$13 (2x\/year) = $26<\/em><\/p>\n

I use Biore Shine Control<\/strong> clay mask. I use this maybe once every two weeks and this is a recent discovery. I\u00a0received this in a package of other Biore products one time, and forgot about it. It’s actually a really great mask.<\/p>\n

5. Cream<\/h3>\n

$50 (4x\/year) = $200<\/em><\/p>\n

I used to use a different day lotion and night cream, but then I ran out of both, went to Sephora, and picked up one that could act as both.<\/p>\n

Hope in a Jar by Philosophy<\/strong> gets a bad rap for smelling funky (and it does), but it’s really not that bad and I find it tolerable. I’m thinking of getting a lighter day cream just because, while this cream is good, it can make my makeup slide off during the day. If you have any suggestions, let me know!<\/p>\n

6. Under Eye Cream<\/h3>\n

$0 = $0<\/em><\/p>\n

I don’t use this yet but I’m definitely on the market for some. I’ve had it before, but ran out and didn’t replenish. I’m taking suggestions for that, too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Total: $356<\/h3>\n

I definitely don’t spend as much on my skin as some people do. I don’t spend money on facials, mainly because I would rather get massages and pedicures when I go to the spa. I’ve never been to a dermatologist, and I’ve never done anything like microdermabrasian.<\/p>\n

I am only 23 and I do expect to spend more as I age, but for now, my biggest skin expenditure is face cream.<\/p>\n

How much do you spend on your skin care regime each year?<\/span><\/p>\n
