Tips for Beauty and Wellness on a Budget

PITTSBURGH, PA--(Marketwire - Jun 3, 2011) - Tiffany Fluhme, CEO of Fluhme Beauty, and plastic surgery physician assistant, doesn't believe women have to deny themselves to help balance the checkbook.

"Women are good at denying themselves luxuries, as well as some necessities, in order to make ends meet," said Fluhme, entrepreneur CEO of Fluhme, a Direct Selling/Party Plan Cosmetics Company (www.fluhme.com). "When a woman cuts out key items of her beauty regimen, it definitely has an impact on how she feels about herself. It's important for women to find ways to replace some of the more costly personal care activities with budget-conscious substitutes."

Fluhme believes that women who routinely take care of themselves, tend to feel more confident and possess better self-esteem, which will reflect positively at work and at home. Her tips for beauty and wellness on a budget include:

• Skincare -- There are affordable over-the-counter products available that are just as effective as those sold at the dermatologist's office. Look for products that contain ingredients such as Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, and Matrixyl, and you'll see great results without the exorbitant cost.
  
  
• Makeup -- When using a great affordable skin care line, exceeding your budget on your makeup is unnecessary. Radiant skin calls for light foundations and maybe a great powder to complete your look. Try a great tinted moisturizer with an SPF and a mineral pressed powder. And don't forget, a beautiful shade of lipstick or lip gloss is an instant pick me up for your look and your mood.
  
  
• Working Out -- When the recession hit, many women eliminated their gym memberships, but you don't need a gym to stay fit. Pop in a workout DVD, take a jog around the block, or work out at home with a pair of dumbbells and a jump rope.

"Confidence will always work in your favor, in every aspect of life," Fluhme added. "Just because you have to cut back on your expenses, it doesn't mean you have to cut back on your investment in yourself."
