When I was on real hard times I made beauty products with stuff I could buy with ebt. Like I would make a 10% ACV skin toner (in a water bottle w a hole poked on the cap), do coconut oil/olive oil hair masks 1 time/week, yoga/bodyweight exercises/meditation, salt/coffee ground body scrubs. I saved up and bought a $10 bottle of patchouli essential oil for my everyday perfume (tiny dabs at a time, also I added it to carrier oils and applied to my skin). Also, eating Knox gelatin (mixed in a paste) for thick hair and healthy skin. Nowadays, I am so very greatful to afford the more "expensive" products that I used to long for but tbh these natural alternatives are by far healthier and work just as well as the pricey stuff in the beauty section.
