Cheap care or how to stay beautiful for just 100 rubles
In recent years, intrusive advertising has been tirelessly telling us one thing - in order to remain beautiful for a long time, women will have to pay a tidy sum. In this article we will talk about the most famous hair, face and hand skin care products that can be purchased for mere pennies.

Colored henna
Colored henna rightfully ranks first in popularity when it comes to hair care products from “grandmother’s chest.” Since ancient times, it was obtained from the leaves and stems of a tropical plant - lavsonia. Natural powder comes in two types - colorless and coloring. Perhaps this is the only pigment of organic origin that not only will not cause harm, but will also benefit the hair, unlike its “chemical” counterparts. The only downside is the lack of a wide range of colors.
Nevsky face cream “Carrot”
Despite the variety of different facial skin care products, thousands of women have remained faithful to traditional products for years. One of them is a cream from the Nevskaya Cosmetics company. The “carrot” cream from this line has a unique formula that combines natural carrot extract, olive oil and vitamin E, which slows down the withering process. Fans of this cream note that after regular use, the skin really becomes smooth and moisturized. It is recommended to apply the miracle remedy twice a day - morning and evening.
Shampoo “Morning Rose”
Another “hello” from the 90s – jelly-like shampoo and balm “Morning Rose” from the Svoboda company. The manufacturer promises that we will certainly enjoy a constant level of quality thanks to rosehip extracts, rich in vitamins and valuable microelements. Well, those who have been using shampoo for many years do not need to prove anything through advertising. Most ladies note that after using shampoo and conditioner, their hair becomes like “liquid silk.” And, of course, the aroma of a blooming “Bulgarian” rose will not leave anyone indifferent.
Zinc ointment
Another “penny” remedy for beauty– zinc ointment. The scope of its application is quite extensive. First of all, this is a proven way to fight pimples. The ointment is excellent at drying out minor inflammations, so those with problem skin should definitely have it in their first aid kit. Thanks to its oily structure, the product helps eliminate flaking of chapped areas of the epidermis. But perhaps the most interesting effect of the ointment is smoothing wrinkles, whitening and protecting against ultraviolet radiation. This ointment copes with these tasks no worse than expensive creams.
Burdock oil
This method of care skin and the hair was adopted by the beauties of Ancient Rome, who applied it to the roots to give splendor and shine to their hair. Burdock oil is a storehouse of valuable substances - vitamins and essential oils, mineral salts and tannin. This is a real salvation for lifeless, dull hair with split ends. But this is far from the only use of oil. Eyelashes and nails also need constant nutrition for their rapid growth and good appearance. And regular use before a bath or shower will provide a light peeling effect, soothe and moisturize the skin.
Tar soap
Tar soap is a unique product, but unfortunately, undeservedly forgotten. Our grandmothers used it as a hygienic, cosmetic and medicinal product. The soap received its name due to the inclusion of natural birch tar in its composition, which has an anti-inflammatory effect. Scope of its application:
- treatment of head diseases;
- getting rid of lice and parasites;
- elimination of acne and blackheads.
It is worth remembering that tar soap has a rather pungent odor and is very drying to the skin, so it is recommended to use it in tandem with moisturizers.
Foot cream "Effect"
Those who are still nostalgic for Soviet “products” for beauty and health will certainly like it cream to relieve leg fatigue with the self-explanatory “Effect”. This is another product that is loved for its relative cheapness, but provides complete foot care due to the competent selection of natural active ingredients - fir oil and horse chestnut extract. It should be applied with light massaging movements for 2-3 minutes. Blood circulation should increase, the skin will become softer and more hydrated. As the manufacturers promise, after such a mini spa procedure, the fatigue and stress of a hard day’s work will instantly disappear.
Almond oil
Almond oil contains incredible wealth - vitamin E and F, acids and enzymes that prevent skin aging, eliminate inflammatory processes and improve hair quality. This is the oil that lovers of homemade cosmetics often add to creams and masks. Here are a few ways to use it:
- as an eye makeup remover (at the same time it will strengthen and accelerate the growth of eyelashes);
- to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and smooth them out;
- from eliminating dark circles under the eyes;
- to soften and exfoliate dry areas of skin;
- as a means to improve digestion;
- used in hair treatment.
Clay for face
One of the most popular methods of rejuvenation at home is clay of organic origin. To provide your skin with proper cosmetic care, clay must be selected wisely, taking into account its type:
- The most popular is blue clay - it has an excellent anti-inflammatory effect and is suitable for normal to oily skin.
- White clay is the best option for problem skin; it gets rid of acne, tightens pores, and saturates it with useful microelements.
- Black clay – acts as a peeling, rejuvenates and tones. Ideal for oily and combination skin types.
A variety of beauty recipes containing clay can be used as hair masks, anti-cellulite wraps and whitening masks.
Chlorhexidine instead of lotion
The solution (chlorhexidine has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties and is usually used for various medical purposes. However, few people know that Chlorhexidine digluconate can rightfully be considered one of the main “enemies” of pimples and blackheads. During the day leather gets very dirty, and with the help of such a “lotion” you can not only cleanse the pores, but also prevent the appearance of acne. If acne does appear, do not rush to remove it mechanically, try applying a few drops on a cotton swab and thoroughly wipe the affected area, then secure the cotton wool soaked in the solution with a band-aid until the morning. After such manipulations, the inflammatory process should stop.
