Do not buy cosmetic brands for skincare

Always go to a dermatologist and get over-the-counter skincare products instead of buying skincare from beauty stores as they are generally pricey.

Buy men products

Razors are the poster child of the Pink Tax. Try buying more men things like deodorants, shoes, clothing, etc which work the same but are pricier for women.

Research and compare prices

Before buying anything research it thoroughly and look for different options in different brands to prevent paying extra just because you are a woman.

Look for unisex services

Services generally charge more if they are specifically branded for women. Try to find more unisex services like salons as they are cheaper and provide the same service.

Try DIY

If you cannot find the service or clothing in an affordable price range, try doing it yourself, for example, making minor alterations to clothing.
