Suggestions for saving hundreds of dollars and making yourself look and feel great according to Felicity Percival, Womens Health editor:

1/ DIY FACIAL

The ultimate at-home beauty treatment is a face mask. They're easy to make and you can do around eight facials for the price of a spa one. All your ingredients are waiting inside your pantry or fridge. Apples blast blemishes, tomatoes can get rid of blackheads and avocado is great nourishing for dry skin.

2/ HAIR COLOURING

Buying one from the supermarket will save you around $100 per colour. And, always use a hand mirror to make sure you've got an even coverage. Home hair colouring is best for brunettes; I'd advise blondes to pay the money for a salon job. Getting the correct shade of blonde is tricky and you might end up looking a Playboy bunny.

3/ FAUX TANNING

At $40 a bottle, you"ll get four body tans for the cost of one spray tan. Bargain! To stop yourself looking like a human orange, always apply at night and stay naked for 10 minutes as clothes can cause streaking. You can wash off excess in the morning.

4/ WAXING

Waxing your legs, underarms, bikini and upper lip is a cinch to do a home, but use wax strips. Hot oil can turn ugly and your bathroom, skin and clothes can often become covered in the stuff. For waxing your private bits, best see a professional.

5/ DIY FOOT BLISS

With the right ingredients and hand strokes, you can give your feet a purely indulgent experience that you'll pay a motza for in spas. Peppermint is your key ingredient for relaxation and smoothing rough heels.

And things Felicity says "Don't try this at home..."

1/ Use needles at home! A beauty treatment that involves needles should be administered by a specialist in professional surroundings.

2/ Micro dermabrasion can be severe and you don't want to risk scrubbing off too much skin - it's best to see a professional for this.

3/ Apply an at-home laser to your skin. There are a few new kits on the market that allow you to administer laser hair removal at home, but at Women's Health we recommend you always see a specialist and research the type of laser they use.

4/ Cut your hair. Spend the money and get a pro to do it.

5/ Teeth whitening. If you want the best results - and bang for your buck - consult a dentist first. Over the counter preparations can only lighten your teeth one shade, which is hardly noticable. Better to spend your money on something guaranteed to give you results.
