How much do you spend on beauty treatments?

[Kiwiinparis]

Not an AIBU but I’m curious. How much do you ladies spend on beauty products a year? Including makeup, skincare, hair cuts/products, beauty treatments like facials, nails, waxing, Botox etc.

Hair is £120 every 12 weeks
Nails is £25 every 3 weeks
Eyebrows £10 once a month
Shampoo/conditioner costs £35
Skincare costs £40
Make up would cost £200 to completely replace
A massage twice a year £40

I’d love to start waxing but it seems really expensive. Maybe I just need to earn some more money

I dread to think the annual cost

Botox £160 every 4 months
Massage £60 per month
Hair £80 every 8weeks
Skincare/hair care is around £170 every 3 months
Makeup £200 every 6 months

I'm trying to be more conscious of my spending and only buying when I actually need something and sticking to tried and tested products.

What is a spa membership! Sorry I’m not UK based…

Botox and profilho £250 every 4 months
Hair £65 every 6 weeks
Nails £25 every 3-4 weeks
Eyebrow tint/wax £10 every 2-3 weeks
Toenails £20 every 6 weeks

No idea what I spend on skincare and make up

I have high maintenance hair it is thick and frizzy and I have vitelligo so need highlights to cover this as I hate it. Hair about £1K per year.'
Again viteligo on my face so need to take care to ensure it never burns Liz Earle daily ritual about £200 per year.
Make up no 7 to even out along tone as I hate how the viteligo makes my face look about £200 per year.
Never have my nails or anything else done.
So about £1.2K per year you would never ever think that from looking at me - I look very ordinary and uninterested in appearance - it just takes that to not look different.

I spend a lot on products (yy Murad) but don't get many treatments.

The main thing is my hair. £360 twice a year for a cut and highlights. It's expensive but I've been going there for 15 years during which time the prices have skyrocketed. I love my hairstylist though and it always grows out brilliantly.

Apart from that I might get two pedicures a year at £40 each but that's it. I can do a good facial at home and I don't really have time for massages at the moment as I have small DC! Pre kids I loved a massage, manicure and LVL lashes.

None. I’ve never had a facial or Botox or my nails done or had any waxing done. I don’t go to a hairdresser. I don’t wear makeup generally ever. I use basic Nivea as a face cream. That’s about it.

Hair = 0
Make up = I may buy a mascara or something, so possibly £10
Skin care = I might buy a moisturiser but wouldn't pay over £10
Nails = 0
Lashes = 0
Suncream = £15
Treatments = 0

So around £35 a year

I wrote it down for a whole year once - not including makeup and skincare purchases it was
£3.5k

£0. Not even had a hair cut as discovered DH is good at cutting hair. Ive never worn make up.

You don't buy sun cream? Or shampoo?

Nothing on beauty treatments. £75 on cut and colour every 10 weeks. Make up and skin care about £50 a year tops.

Hair cut and colour every 6 weeks £135. Occasionally get eyebrows and nails done before a holiday abroad but not a regular thing. Use Elemis skin care but most of that is given to me by DH for Christmas/birthday etc. Hardly ever wear makeup but if I do it’s No7 or Max Factor.

Ooh I’ve never added it up so I’ll try.
Biggest extravagance is hair foils and cut every 8 weeks at £80.
Never have manicures or pedicures, just paint my own.
Never had regular treatments of any kind.
I buy hyalaronic acid and retinol from The Ordinary, moisturiser from Aldi and use La Roche Possay spf March-October.
I reckon that’s a total £500-£600 pa. Mostly hairdresser’s bill. I’m 50.

Oh and I use cold wax strips that cost £1.00 a box.

£0 on makeup, skincare maybe £10 a year? I only use a bit of Nivea cream for moisturiser.
Haven't had my hair cut since the start of the pandemic so £0 at the moment but when it was short probably £40 every 2 months. I have curly hair so use curl cream/gel/serum etc which probably would cost £150 a year I guess.
Don't have facials, don't get nails done, don't wax, would never Botox. I do like massages/body treatments though so would have a couple of those a year.

Oh I forgot makeup. I’m a daily wearer but have a few good eyeshadow palettes that were gifts or teenage DD cast-offs. No7 foundation and primers so about £40 total a few times a year on those. Plus a few pencils and lipsticks but only buy cheap ish in Boots etc.

£30 every 6 weeks on hair.

Prob £5 a month on make up and toiletries.

Am not trying to make you feel bad- everyone should spend their money however they wish- but am curious as to what you spend on. Is it like a really good haircut? My hair is super wavy and coarse, and I find that it looks more or less the same however much I spend.

CACI. Just finished 10 sessions today of the "mega-put-your-face-back-where-it-fucking-used-to-be" and I will never stop my monthly follow ups.

I do nothing, NOTHING, else

@sairiegamp what is that?

Hair coloured / cut every three / six months for £50 / £70.

Very little on make up and skin care, I rarely wear make up and buy cheap shampoo and moisturiser. I never get my nails done. Hair removal is my epilator (so was pricey to buy but free per use).

I go to a day spa with my friend for a day once a year and have a treatment (facial or body wrap).

I don’t know but it must be a lot…. I get my hair cut and coloured with a deep treatment every two months for about £180. Manicure and pedicure now and then - for holidays etc at about £60 a time. LVL lashes and brows done about every couple of mo the for £80 a go. I get a microblading top up at about £350 a year. Prescription retinol for £25 a month plus other products probably of about £50 a month. So maybe £2000-3000 a year?

I’ve been thinking about CACI for a few years now but haven’t actually got around to it. Are they really that good? I’m mid-40s, good enough skin that’s quite dry, no forehead wrinkles - but I feel like my face is collapsing or drooping downwards! I don’t know if it’s because I’m overweight or just aging. My eyebrows have dropped and make my eyes look hooded, I’ve massive bags under my eyes. Is CACI my saviour??

Probably about £200 a year on everything.

Hair £0 I have long hair that my sons girlfriend trims. I am letting the grey grow so I don’t dye or highlight
Nail £0
Facials £0
Makeup £0 as I don’t wear any
All,I buy is a packet of soap which I pack of 4 last best part of a year
Supermarkets own anti dandruff shampoo Around £1 a bottle and last around a month. Same for conditioner.
I buy supermarkets own hair serum. Tesco sell one small one for £1 or Morrisons a larger one for £1.50 and again will last a month.
Moisturiser I buy Lidl stuff or often I have nicer stuff gifted at Christmas.
The rest of my personal care is made up of toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant and a decent pair of nail clippers.
