According to a study by SkinStore, the average woman spends a whopping $300,000 on their faces in their lifetime. It’s pretty astounding really, especially considering you could buy a cute little home with that amount of money in some parts of the world.
But when you think about it, it’s not all that surprising. Between all the grooming and makeup and skincare products, it all adds up very quickly. So, how do we cut down this cost so that we don’t have to sacrifice looking awesome for one day being a homeowner?
Well, one great way to do it is by opting for makeup products that double as skincare. “Wait, makeup that’s actually good for your skin?” Yep, it does exist — and it’s the bomb. Scroll through the gallery for seven of our favourite makeup products with added skincare benefits.
