--Always have your eyebrows perfectly groomed and you will always look put-together, no matter how much makeup you're wearing or not wearing.

--instead of those thirty dollar "sea salt scrubs" or "sugar scrubs", make your own at home. Take olive oil, mix in either coarse salt or sugar, scrub over your skin in a circular motion for at least two minutes, then rinse off with rather cool water. You'll notice instantly softer skin.

--Buying a neutral shade of lipstick (not dark brown or bright red) can turn it into a three way tool for your face.. you can use it as a cream blush, cream eyeshadow, or lip color in a pinch.

And it is the cosmetic industry who targets these women making them believe that their products can make them beautiful and give them the self confidence they need. On average, a low-maintenance middle aged women will spend 3,000 dollars on all cosmetics combined in one year. Its adds such as mascara that can double the length of your lashes, or face wash that can clear your face in 24 hours, or jeans that can make you look 10 pounds lighter, or cosmetic surgery that can make you look 10 years younger, that are giving girls false hope, and taking their money.

Women, and sometimes men, will go to the extreme to look and feel beautiful. Even the recent recession has not stopped women from beautifying themselves. I experience this first hand, because i work at a salon and day spa called Wildflowers. The Average women comes in every 4 to 6 weeks and receives a 35 to 45 dollar haircut, along with either highlights or color ranging from 50 to 70 dollars. Then add on the products bought by these women and men which get get as expensive as 70 dollars. This does not even include our spa services, which are 50 dollar pedicures, 25 dollar manicures, 45 to 180 dollar facials, 50 to 70 dollar massages, and much more. When people treat themselves to a nice day of pampering it does a lot for their emotions. It makes them feel good about who they are and can often turn a bad day into a good one.
