1. Green tea ice cream sticks
Undoubtedly one of the best beauty allies to avoid the panda eyes all surrounded by difficult tomorrows.
Instead of buying a concealer cream that costs €15 , treat yourself to a box of mint green tea bags:shivering effect and natural benefits will be there to wake up your eyes before this hard day ahead of you.
Box of mint green tea:€3 . To see the trick and be the most beautiful, it's here.
2. Sugar body scrub
Does your skin look like that of a turtle celebrating its 150th birthday? Here is one of the most effective, simple and quick to prepare exfoliation recipes:just sugar and olive oil. You do not believe me ? Take a look, you'll be amazed.
Less than €1 the scrub, instead of €9 in supermarkets with questionable ingredients, who says better?
3. A homemade concealer
There are treatments that I leave to the beautician but this one is really economical and easy to do. With half a lemon, olive oil and cotton, I make myself a concealer in two steps.
I have calculated that this homemade treatment saves me €212 per year . To learn how to do this little trick yourself, it's happening here.
4. A natural and healthy self-tanner for the skin
With a few natural ingredients you will have beautiful tanned skin. The advantage is that you will no longer need to buy self-tanner in the supermarket or pharmacy. My homemade preparation does not contain chemicals unlike those purchased commercially. It's better for your skin and for your wallet.
I have two recipes for you:
• A mixture of egg, yoghurt, olive oil and carrot oil. Quick to prepare it has the advantage of moisturizing your skin in addition to giving it a nice tanned complexion. Click here to learn more.
• The second is based on black tea. After drinking a cup of tea, reuse its wet sachet. Its pigments will lightly color your skin and its caffeine will stimulate it. Read my tip, I will explain how to do it in detail.
In total count €288 savings per year at the rate of 2 bottles purchased every month for 1 year.
1. Argan oil, my natural anti-wrinkle with 1001 virtues
A perfect miracle ingredient for mature skin because it is rich in vitamin E, argan oil is a perfect natural anti-wrinkle. Simple to use, it will also save you money.
For €10 , you will find a 150 ml bottle of argan oil (in parapharmacy) which will intensely hydrate you for 2 months . When you think that jars of 50 ml anti-wrinkle creams worthy of the name cost €15 the pot, we necessarily win.

2. Black soap, for daily baby skin
Traditionally used in hammams in Morocco, black soap is a miracle product to use daily to maintain baby skin. It erases, hydrates and sublimates the skin, just that. To find out more, read our special black soap tip.
I buy 8 € the pot of 100 gr in organic stores or parapharmacies. This will allow me to keep my skin very soft for 6 months . Instead of a scrub and moisturizer in supermarkets that will cost you€18 the whole thing is rather tempting, isn't it?
3. Alum stone, my natural deodorant
We recently talked about it on TV as if the Alum Stone had just been discovered. Ah the marketing managers, they are strong!!! At Comment-Economiser.fr, we've been talking about it from the start.
The advantage of alum stone is that contrary to what people try to make us believe, you can use it as is. It's much more economical and healthier for your skin than buying an alum stone deodorant in supermarkets.
A deodorant costs €4.50 in supermarkets. At a rate of 4 per year, it's €22 . 1 Raw Alum Stone of 100g also costs €4.50 but will last you 4 times longer. So that's €13.50 in annual savings .
4. Bicarbonate to whiten your teeth naturally
Teeth whitening at the dentist is expensive and what our dentists are careful not to tell us is that we can whiten our teeth ourselves with a natural and very cheap product:our good old baking soda . They say a liar like a tooth-puller, right?
In total we have calculated that whitening your teeth yourself can save €343 per year ! If you want to find out how to find a star's smile without breaking the bank, read our tip on this subject by clicking here.
1. Dry your varnish in record time.
It's always painful to wait a quarter of an hour with your hands in the air, your toes fanned out with a cotton ball between each toe, to wait for the varnish to dry. But there is a much faster solution:cold water. Explanation here. Time saved:10 min .
2. Wash your makeup brushes
I always use special brushes to make me perfect doe eyes. But no question of putting my brush in the pink eyeshadow when it has just been dipped in the black eyeshadow.
To avoid buying one for each color, I wash them regularly with baking soda. And here is the miracle gesture to save my brushes (and my eyes).
No need to spend€10 in new brushes (average price in big box) when you can just clean them.
Over the year, the total savings achieved are not negligible.
By avoiding buying all our beauty products in supermarkets, already prepared, we save €901.50 per year .
In addition to real savings, we use 100% natural ingredients for our skin and easy to use.
