访谈录 省钱，女性使用男士护肤品

 A growing trend on women. They are swapping¹ their favourite beauty products for similar versions made for men, and saving big bucks² doing it. ABC's Becky Worley has more.

Want to save on your fancy facial-care regiment³? Easy! Try borrowing from the guys! The number of women using men's products is on the rise. Added bonus, you save money, too.

 

-Recently, there's been this explosion of male grooming⁴ products.

On this site, telling us a man's facial cream. Of the 32 reviews, 26 were written by women. Really? Okay. I go to a bunch of department stores and ask the clerks in the man's department to help me find products similar to popular women's products.

 

-And get this! The men's products cost roughly half of what their corresponding women's products would have cost.

And I'm not just talking about shaving balm and lotion⁵.

-Lip therapy, bad guy BB cream. BB cream? For guys? 

And the price differences compelling. Men's line Antony has a vitamin C sherm. That's 45 dollars an ounce. This department store brand is 59 dollars an ounce. 

These grey colour acid PO pads from Men's line Jack⁶ Black were 95 cents a treatment. A comparable department store version for women was 2.93 a treatment. But did these men's products smell and feel, well, manly⁷? 

 

-It doesn't smell at all. Practically unscented. Honestly, I would not know that this is a men's product, you must be told me specifically.

But don't take my words for it. We asked tiwns Anna M* and Gina M* to try them out. And they go: the men's!

-It made me want to use less makeup⁸.

-Definitely, present nice go you.

-There's this sort of one-size-fits-all element to male beauty products, and sometimes what women want is to just simplify things and make things a little more cost-effective.

And given the price difference, it might be worthy⁹ heading over the men's department to see if a few of their niceties would work for you.

For Good Moring America, Becky Worley, ABC News, Ok* Carlifornia.

-Got that?

-Yeah, and that's a great great tip. Thank you, Becky.
