5 Ways to Look Better on a Budget

If you’re a cost conscious consumer, but like to look your best, read these 5 inexpensive ways to look better without busting your budget.

1. Better Diet: Start Editing Your Grocery List

It shouldn’t cost you more money to eat healthier. It all starts with a good grocery list. Start editing your list today, and cross off all the junk food. Then replace those items with vegetables, fruits and lean meat. Be wary of anything that comes in a cardboard box; if it does, remember to read the nutrition information. To keep costs down, track prices on your grocery list; when you find a cheaper or healthier option, then it’s time to edit your list again.

2. Find A Tailor and Personal Shopper

Don’t underestimate the importance of clothing fit. A personal shopper can help you understand your body proportions and then show you how to buy clothes that flatter them. Finding a great fit off-the-rack can be difficult, so find a good local tailor who can make the right adjustments to your new (or old) clothes.

3. Find the Right Bra

For whatever reason, many women wear the wrong bra size. No matter what type of bra you wear, it’s a great idea to get it fitted to match your current size. A local store or boutique should be able to help you with this.

4. Consider Injectables for Wrinkle Reduction

Injectable products like Botox, RHA Fillers and Restylane can quickly (although temporarily) correct wrinkles and folds. With a simple injection, many people can lose their unsightly smile lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. Today’s injectables come with lidocaine, so they’re more comfortable. If you’re concerned about the cost, keep an eye out for specials offered by your local cosmetic surgeon.

5. Use Medical Grade Skin Care Products

Start a daily routine that includes the best skin care products for you. Start by talking to an aesthetician or cosmetic surgeon, so they can guide you toward a good regimen. Choose a product line that is designed to meet your needs, whether that means anti-aging, skin lightening, sun protection or any of your other appearance goals.
