Want to look and feel great without breaking the bank? Here’s how to treat yourself without maxing out your credit cards.

Beauty Sleep is Real

Listen to your mother when she tells you to make sure you get a good night’s sleep! It’s no secret that a lack of sleep can appear on your face in the form of saggy skin, bags under your eyes and a lack of luster. Lack of sleep causes blood vessels to dilate, causing the look of dark circles according to multiple dermatologists.

Beauty Sleep Backup

Sometimes you can’t help but miss out on a full night’s rest. Whether you have to stay up late for work, have a lot on your mind, or just toss and turn, green tea bags can help the next day. The caffein and tannins in the tea are known to shrink the blood vessels just under your skin to make your eyes appear less puffy, dark, and tired.

Trying to Paint Your Nails in a Hurry?

Have an event to go to that’s sucking the money right out of your wallet? Need to paint your nails for it? Use spray cooking oil as a substitute for quick-dry nail coating. It only dries the top coat so be careful not to ding your nails, but it also leaves your cuticles looking shiny and fresh!

Tired of Dry, Straw-like Hair?

An easy solution may be right in your cupboard in the form of olive oil! It can be combined with honey, avocado, banana, or coconut to give your hair the moisture and sheen it’s been missing. Extra virgin olive oil is a little more pricey than most types, but it had a nice fragrance, more antioxidants and vitamins to give your hair strength and shine.

Get That Summery Look by Visiting the Fruit and Vegetable aisle!

When it comes to lightening your hair, avoiding the salon could save you a lot of money. And everyone knows someone who’s heard a Sun-In horror story. So how do you lighten your hair properly without breaking the bank? That’s where lemon or lemon juice can come in handy! Add lemon to water and mix it in a spray bottle. Use the power of the sun to activate it and bam! You’ve got that sun-kissed look. But if you’re going out in the sun, don’t forget your SPF! Your hair may be sexy but damaged skin isn’t.
