Anecdotal but I have long noticed a correlation between money and “skin care” at the spectrum of middle class level. In high school and college when I was dating a lot, the girls with the best acne control/make up regiment we more often to live in a better neighborhood so I assume richer family. I’m sure there’s some social component of their mom dresses up nice, cares about looks, and has passed that down. Now I’m married now and know the costs of maintaining my wife’s face. It’s not cheap at all. A few hundred dollars a month at MAC. And she doesn’t really do much extra in terms of serums/lotions/spa but I think she does buy premium makeup (not luxury). She’s fairly “basic” in her needs but enough to be girly. It just adds up quick and it doesn’t last long. Hair cuts and shampoos and nail care are also pretty big expenses. Probably averaging another 200-300 a month. Dang. I’ve never added it up like this. This is crazy! So my wife’s grooming costs about $500 a month.
