Each year millions of people dye their hair from home. While the home kits cost significantly less than salon treatments, they still have many dangerous chemicals and can really add up if you frequently use them. For this reason, many people look for alternative treatments they can try to change the color of their hair. A common home remedy to lighten hair is to apply lemon juice on your hair and then sit in the sun to bring out natural highlights. You can also use tea and coffee if you are looking for ways to darken it. By making your own hair dye you don’t only have to not worry about harsh chemicals, but it can also save you hundreds of dollars per year.

Another place to save money is with lip gloss. All you need are a few good lip gloss recipes. A little vaseline and your favorite flavorings are all you need to get a great tasting product that costs literally pennies to make. You can also mix old lip sticks together to make something new.

You can also save money by learning how to make your own soaps and lotions. There are a number of different soaps and lotions you can make using wholesale fragrance oils. Using products like shea butter or cocoa butter can also help you save on costs for effective moisturizers.
