I spend a lot but it lasts for over a year most of the time. If I'm in need of new makeup products I can spend $200 in an hour, but I only buy again after a year. As for facial washes, astringents, lotions, and other beauty creams, I spend about $100 per month on those. It's quite expensive actually now that I've computed it. But I have to have good skin right? And I do use products that aren't very expensive, so it's okay. I think the most expensive items I've purchased are acne medicine and acne treatments at my dermatologist. I spend over $100 on acne products/treatments per month!
So how much do you spend per months for your skin care.

I don't buy much make up but I will buy a face wash and I don't have to buy that monthly because I normally buy a big bottle but other then that i don't spend my money on that too often.

Again, you're very lucky if you don't need to spend on makeup. As far as facial washes go, I love trying out different brands so I get it in the smallest size available. That means I'll have to buy since a month at least. I still haven't found my favorite wash actually. I think my skin condition changes from time to time so what worked last year doesn't work anymore this year. :(

ya my friends call me a product junkie because I like trying out facial masks and washes and lots more. So right now I am trying to use up what I have before I get anything new.

I dont have the money to be spending on fancy makeup and skin care. I probably dont spend more than ten dollars a month on things like that. I have a pretty good complexion naturally, I dont think I need alot of extras.

Well, it's always not nice to not have enough money. Perhaps that's why the gods blessed you with good skin? :) I'd love to go makeup free forever, but I just can't. I have pimple marks to cover up. And when I'm older I'm sure I'll need to hide my wrinkles and nasty pores as well. :( $10 a month is pretty good actually. I'm very envious!

I dont spend money on makeup at all. I rather go without it.My skin looks lots healthy without it. I would never spend 100 per month on makeup I have better things to do with my money like gas and food.

my whole month make up shopping includes cleanser,toner,moisturizer,2-3 eye shadows,2-3 lipsticks,foundation,blusher and eyeliner and they cost me around 7000-8000 per month and i always prefer buying branded products and i love clinique products.

Wow, I am so glad I am a guy. I spend nothing on make-up and I bet it would suck to be throwing hundreds of dollars a month on cosmetics.

That's an outrageous number I think. I can't imagine spending that much on beauty products. I spend only a few bucks every few months on facial washes and what not. I don't wear makeup so I don't waste money on any of that crap. I think it's a pretty useless and wasteful thing to spend money on.

Dear friend,
I hope as a male I do less make a comb, a ahave cream, after shave lotion, deodorant and perfumes, these are main make up materials I use may be they are much not like a make up materials for those who use more of make up. Any how I hope to do make up is just caring the beauty they want their beauty to be preserved or may want to be presented much better. Also to preserve the skin and other harmful moisture too. Hence I appreciate those who use normal make ups.

I seldom makeup, so I spent not much in this area. If have to talk about the spending, I think count as per year.
I did buy some makeupp stuff too to attend certain function usage. I spent bout Rm200-300 for makeup stuff a year, but not every year.
I spent quite a lot in facial treatment, about RM100 a month. It's not cheap to maintain too.

I spend $0 on makeup and beauty products. LOL I might wear make up once or twice a year, so my make up lasts forever. I don't use creams or astringents unless they are free samples, and when they're done, it's not worth it for me to buy more.
When I was younger and had an acne problem, the only product I used was Noxema. I would wash my face with it everyday. It didn't always clear the acne right up, but it is better to use on your face than soap.

I nearly spend no money in this month for make up, maybe I spend just 200$ in a year in total. I don't liek to makeup, if I don't have to take part in an important party or to see important person I will not makeup. I used to like makeup everyday just with lip stick 9years before, but I don't like it anymore now. Except winter I use it to protect my lips.

I spend way too much money per month on my skin. From injections, to oral anti biotics for acne, to acne over the counter astringents, toners, clay masks. Then of course there is the special soap. Then on to the oil free foundation, concealer, power, wrinkle cream, line filler gel. I would say about $300 per month...ouch!

I usually spend about 50-100 a month on different make ups and beauty products.
