Joyce Carboni from Skinsational Skin and Body Spa, a premier day spa in Carlsbad, California, knows times are tough. Here are some of Joyce’s inspirational tips on how to be a socialite on a budget!

If your face is starting to reflect stress and fatigue, restore a super radiant glow to your skin with a mini facial. Blend ½ cup of chopped pineapple (alpha-hydroxy acids lift dead skin cells and debris) with 3 tbsp. of olive oil. Leave on for ten minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water. Finish by massaging your face gently with a moisturizer for five minutes, to help relieve tension.

Keep your beautiful, naturally tanned (or fake?!? Why not!) skin from fading. Before applying any tanning products, exfoliate so the tanner can grab onto fresh new skin cells. Also, moisturized skin retains pigment longer; so as part of your regular routine, apply a hydrating lotion every morning and evening so as to extend the life of your tan.

Sleek, hairless legs are a must! Can’t afford shaving gel? Just smooth baby oil onto your legs before you take a razor to them. The baby oil will protect and moisturize your skin, allowing you to shave even outside the shower!

Keep your makeup tasteful - less is always more. Ran out of lipstick? Grab that old box of cherry or strawberry jello. Dip a Q-tip into the powder and apply to your lips. Let it sit then lick it off. It’ll give you natural, delicious red coat (pout).

For a glam look on the go, use shimmer. Swipe shimmer onto the apples of your cheeks, brow bones, shoulder blades, collarbones, and down you arms and legs for a head to toe radiance.

Beware: the change in climate and cooler temperatures can dry out your face. Try this at-home facial mask to rejuvenate and rehydrate your skin: mix 1⁄2 an avocado and 1⁄4 cup of honey in a blender. Apply to your skin and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. Afterwards, rinse with a washcloth drenched in cool water.

Don’t paint your nails. Use a buffer and olive oil instead to create a glamorous, unchipped manicure that will last through any type of weather.

Use coffee to get rid of cellulite? Yup, why not? Bring those old coffee grounds into the shower with you and rub into your annoying cellulite areas. The caffeine will help your skin tighten and the smell will wake you up!
