FabSwingers.com forum: Price you pay for your vanity?

Do you have any procedures done? Do you buy expensive lotions and potions or have even gone under the knife? I believe you should do what makes you feel good and makes you happy whether it’s plain old soap and water on your face with a slap of moisturiser or a full on beauty regime or something more permanent! I have just had the broken veins on my nose and cheeks done by electrolysis which was very sore but for me it’s worth it , my skin is very good for my age not sure if it’s natural or because I’ve always looked after it well so I like my face to look as best I can even if I have to go through a little pain, and yes I’m quite vain!

Aesopp products for hand wash and shower gel. The smell is too good.

I don't spend a lot on that kind of stuff. I do get my hair dyed by a professional though, it's worth it so I don't have to destroy my bathroom trying to do it myself.

I tend to buy the more expensive Estée Lauder skin care range. Not a lot works for my skin but after years of searching I found the product range that works for me.

Other than that, I don’t really do much else

I had a little lip Filler to make my Cupid's bow more defined, it is very subtle and no one would notice but I do.

I'm me, not vain at all. I'm a potato in a hat really. I'm happy with who I am too, took me a long time but I found peace with myself.

Not a big lover of the vain. Find it a turn off

I'm too poor. I stretch as far as getting my hair dyed at the salon and getting my bits waxed but that's about it. I'd love to have my eyebrows microbladed as it would save me so much time but again, money!

I use a mix of The Ordinary and Superdrug Vitamin E, plus a Neutrogena moisturiser for spots. In the market for a new face wash. Sensitive combination skin. Pain in my arse.

Every couple of months I'll have a Benefit brow wax.

A potato in a hat ? There’s an image lol! I guess we all have different versions of vanity, for me it’s just making the best of what I have to make myself feel good I don’t do it to impress anyone else or alter their opinions of me

I've put dyeing my hair back on hiatus but that comes out of a cheap box. Hair removal at home via razor or epilator.

Makeup... I'm not admitting to a goddamn thing

I treat myself to fancy skincare and makeup when I can afford it. I spend around £150 per year. I cleanse, use acids etc in my skincare as I have problematic skin. I go to the hairdressers maybe once a year and try to go as low cost as possible.

If money wasn't an issue I'd be having nails and lashes done monthly. I'd also throw skin, hair and body treatments into the mix too.

Microdermabrasion, glycolic chemical peels, expensive lotions & potions, and Botox have each played a part in my grooming maintenance regime spanning the past decade.

Some of you may think I've had a penis enlargement too - you'd be wrong however, it's all natural...

What worked best ? I used to use a glycolic face wash at strength not available to general public but I’ve shifted to natural exfoliation followed by Elemis superfood facial oil and just regular SPF15. Results are amazing

Also take a massive dose of VitC everyday or twice a day if I start to feel a cold coming

I thank my lucky stars with Superdrug Vitamin E. It's cheap. And my skin is unbelievably sensitive, and it works so well. Just a shame they don't do a regular face wash.

Chemical exfoliation, I use The Ordinary Mandelic Acid. I could probably step up but I'm a bit afraid to with my skin lol. It definitely helps. It's subtle but better than an actual hole in my face!

I get my hair cut about 3 times a year and my mum trims my fringe for me

With skin care I just use rose water most of the year now.

I get my eyebrows threaded and on occasion I’ll get a spray tan if there’s an event I’m going to.

If money wasn’t a factor, I’d look like a kardashian by now

I only use elemis skin products.

I use tigi catwalk shampoo and conditioner, it's more expensive than some but it's paraban and sulfate free. Body products I use a mixture of elemis or lush generally.

I don't like surgical procedures personally and wouldn't have any done.

I currently have hair extensions and I'm looking at around £1000 a year to maintain them if I keep them.

I find SkinCeuticals to be the best / most effective product brand and range.

A regime of product use in combination with Salicylic acid facial peels and Botox for preventative maintenance I find works for me.

I’ve had a gastric bypass, I have my haircut every 6-8 weeks. I dye it at home. I remove all my own hair, though I do have my eyebrows and upper lip waxed.

I use clarinet moisturiser on my face, and have lots of make up. X

I find that good old hydrocortisone cream is best for rashes. I get dermatitis on my fingers and I've recently had it on my wrists from the smart watch I got for Christmas

Ooh ouch. I usually keep it at bay with religious moisturising, but not always. I suspect I've developed a skin reaction to my shampoo. Another rash.
