Don’t spend too much on skin-care products
10 Tips: Here’s how to seek out savings that are more than skin deep

Think you don’t use very many skin-care products? Think again.

The American Academy of Dermatology reports that the average adult uses at least seven different skin-care products each day, including sunscreens, makeup, perfume, aftershave, shampoo, skin cleansers, moisturizers and deodorants. (Yes, guys, this column applies to you too!)

Clearly, you don’t have to be a big makeup wearer to be forking over more dough in this category than you realize.

These tips can help you avoid spending too much on all that stuff for your skin.

1. Start by not spending anything at all. You’re likely to be given a stash of free samples to try at home if you get a free makeover at a department store. Even if you don’t get a makeover, you can often reap big rewards by politely asking for free product samples at department stores, cosmetology schools, beauty-supply stores and even drug stores.

2. Score free samples online. You often can get free samples and obtain valuable coupons by filling out simple forms on the Web sites of many of your favorite product lines. Another route you can take: Do a quick Internet search for the name of your favorite product line along with the word “coupons? or “samples.?

3. Seek out sales and special deals. Check the Sunday newspaper for ads for drug stores, discount retailers and department stores in your area. Be on the lookout for two-for-one deals on, say, all Revlon products, or on your favorite soaps or lotions, and stock up when such sales hit.

4. Verify the hypoallergenic hype. Before you pay extra for products that claim to be alcohol-free or to limit skin irritations and allergies, check out the claims here. This Consumers Union site explains labels such as “hypoallergenic? and “unscented? and lets you search for information on items found in the site’s “personal hygiene? product areas.

5. Stay alert at the drug store. You can find super-low-priced, obscure or generic brands of cosmetics as well as makeup supplies, such as brushes, application sponges and powder puffs, by taking a very thorough pass through the store’s entire cosmetics and skin-care sections. Many generic brands offer the same level of quality as name-brand products. Remember to look for tucked-away deals at the ends of aisles and long display walls.
