[Misc] Tricks/hacks to save money on your routine?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Given the uncertain times right now, I've been thinking about ways that I can make my skincare/beauty routines as economical as possible. Below I've listed some of my tricks to save $$, and I'd love to hear everyone's input as well!- Aquaphor instead of lip balms and foot creams - I used to buy pricey minty foot creams, but I've found that slathering my feet in Aquaphor and then putting on socks works even better. Also I used to spend tons trying to find the perfect lip balm - it's Aquaphor! It works better than any lip balm I've ever used. I decant it from the tub into smaller lip balm containers so I can carry it with me. (I'm sure Vaseline or the Cerave healing ointment work for these purposes as well.)- Cleanser - This may be controversial here, but so many sources that I've read say it's not necessary to splurge on a cleanser since it's only on your face for a short period of time. Thus, I've been using a Cerave cleanser and while the experience of using it is slightly less enjoyable than fancier cleansers, it does it's job and my skin doesn't know the difference.- Skipping AM moisturizer - With the weather warming up and the fact that I'm not in my dry office, I've found that I can skip my AM moisturizer and just use the Hydro Boost sunscreen. I have a stack of AB sunscreens to try, and I'm not sure that they will be moisturizing enough to do this, but for now it's saving me some product!- Body lotion - I have a pricey scented body lotion that I love the scent of and I never want it to run out! I've been mixing it with a basic unscented body lotion and using that on my upper body (I don't bother mixing with the scented lotion for my lower half). I actually think I like the more subtle scent more, and it's making both lotions last longer.- Babyfoot instead of pedicures - I did the Babyfoot mask for the first time during quarantine, and it is far better than any exfoliation I've ever had during a pedicure. I'll be skipping pedicures this summer.What are some of your tips/tricks/hacks?? :)
