STILL feeling a little worn out from 2020?
A bit of pampering will give you a much-needed pick-me-up – especially with these super savvy savings.
Hydrate for less: Being stuck indoors with the heating on has left my skin feeling a little parched.
Thankfully you can give your complexion the “drink” it needs without forking out for a high-end cream.
Stick with the basics.
Hyaluronic acid acts like a moisture magnet, hydrating skin and making it appear more plump.
While 30g hyaluronic serum from Super Facialist is £14.99, The Inkey List sell it online for £5.99.
A bargain that does exactly the same job.
SAVING: £9
Got you salted: A salt bath is great for a pamper.
Check the product weight so you can work out the best deal.
While Boots’ Westlab Pure Mineral Bathing Epsom Salt seems reasonable at £4.99 for 1kg, the Poundshop.com has a 450g bag with a spa-like vanilla scent for £1.
Buy two and get almost the same amount for less than half the price.
SAVING: £3.99
Money-saving mask: I used to mindlessly grab a face mask as a treat, but checking the ingredients and switching brands could save you dosh.
Compare packets and you might be surprised at how similar they are.
These days, I use the Revolution Charcoal Purifying Mask, £8 at Asos.com, instead of the similar Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask, £18.
SAVING: £10
Hair we go: As we are currently unable to get to the hairdressers to sort out our tresses, why not give them a boost — without forking out.
So many salon-style treatments can now be done at home.
I love the Knight & Wilson PurePlex Revolutionary Hair Repair System, £12.99, at Superdrug, which works in a similar way to celeb and hairdresser favourite Olaplex No3, £26 at Cult Beauty.
SAVING: £13.01
