Money Saving Beauty Tips to Get Through Credit Crunch
Economy downturn, credit crunch, housing market slowdown, oil and food price rise, foreign policy problems, credit card and mortgage rates increase... Yeah, the US is going through some hard times. But it is just a temporary recession - a naturally determined stage in social and historical evolution. But let's leave the solving of global problems of national importance to men. Let it be their prerogative.
What remains an unchangeable object of women's concern at all times, no matter what political or economical situation is, is pursuit of beauty. But living with tightened purse strings you will barely afford having a beauty parlor at home. You will most probably have to reduce expenses associated with maintaining good looks. But there is a way to stay beautiful without spending hours and hundreds of dollars in beauty shops. Here are a few tricks that will keep you looking good and save you money on beauty products.
A woman's wish to stay beautiful and attractive is quite natural. But sometimes beauty costs a pretty penny. Where can you find an additional money source to buy cosmetics during financial crisis? Of course it can be your cash back card, for instance. You can take advantage of your cash back rewards and spend this extra money on skin and hair care products. But what if your credit does not allow you to qualify for a bank card that gives rewards? What if you carry fair credit cards? Then our tips are just what you need.
- Use olive oil to get your nails done. Olive oil with its great moisturizing properties will soften your unruly and ragged cuticles. Just take some olive oil, warm it up on the stove or in a microwave own, pour it into a small bowl and soak your nails in it for a few minutes. You will see how easily the cuticles are pushed back.
- Olive oil is also perfect treatment for hard, cracked heels. Before you go to bed spread a generous amount of oil onto your soles and put on some socks. And you will wake up with soft and smooth soles in the morning.
- Sea salt is an ultimate natural scrub for your body. Take 2 handfuls of sea salt, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the same amount of sweet almond oil. Mix the ingredients until they turn into a crunchy, thick paste. Spread the mass over your body, massage yourself a bit. Wait 5 minutes and rinse the scrub off with warm water. Your skin will become soft, exfoliated and moisturized.
- If you have dry hair, eggs with their vital proteins are just what you need. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of oil, mix it. Apply this mask onto your hair and wrap it into a clingfilm. Wait 30 minutes and rinse it off with warm water. The effect will amaze you.
- Banana facial mask will perfectly soften, rejuvenate and nourish your skin. To make this mask mash 2-3 bananas, add 2 tablespoons of honey. Apply it your face (avoiding the eye area). Leave it for 10 minutes and wash it off with warm water. Be careful, your skin may become an object of envy!
This is one more way to stay irresistible. Of course it does not mean that you have to give up your regular beauty treatments and throw away all the beauty products you have. But still, this is a good alternative to spending enormous amounts of money, looking through the lists of credit companies that can offer the best card that will meet your specific needs. You can also search for credit offers that grant beauty-related rewards, fill out one online application after another hoping to get approved, which can be a problem due to credit collapse.

hey, i've never read such fascinating articles about credit cards! i wish they published something of the kind in Financial Times)) Btw, i use banana mask no matter what my financial situation is. it really revitalizes, softens and nourishes skin on the face.
well, i don't know.. i'm rather sceptical about all this folk medicine and folk beauty tips. i'd better miss my lunch and save money to buy some good body lotion.
