Four multi-tasking, great-value beauty products to help you save money
MAKE your beauty bag work smarter with a few multi-tasking products.
You’ll spend less by sticking with a handful of great-value items that do more than one job.
Plus, it makes packing for holidays a breeze. Here are some ideas . . .
COCONUT OIL: This versatile product can both soften and moisturise hair — it works particularly well on frizz.
You can also use it as a body and face moisturiser and for removing make-up.
The oil can boost the production of collagen and reduce inflammation, according to beauty brand Nivea.
Try massaging on to skin before bed to use as an overnight mask. You can buy a 500ml pot of coconut oil for £2.15 from Asda.
VASELINE: This versatile beauty stalwart is moisturising so works as a lip balm as well as for dry skin on the face.
It’s also great as a foot mask. Slather it on at bedtime and pop on a pair of loose socks and you’ll wake up the next morning to softer skin.
Try popping some on around the nail bed before an at-home manicure, too.
It will soften the cuticles and if you make mistakes around the edges with you varnish, it can easily be removed when dry.
Also, if you struggle with chafing during exercise, rub on problem areas first. You can get a 50ml pot for £1.80 from Boots.
ALL IN ONE: Cut out separate shampoos and conditioners with Dr PawPaw It Does It All shampoo, which lives up to its name.
It is suitable for all hair types — and you can also use it in the shower to wash your skin, too.
It’s £3 for 200ml direct from drpawpaw.com.
DOUBLE UP: Cut out buying eyeshadow and instead use your existing face shimmer or bronzer to colour and highlight your eye area. It works just as well and saves buying extra products.
Get The Revolution Highlight Reloaded for £3.20 from lookfantastic.com.
