Beauty expert Andrea Pomerantz Lustig, author of the successful book "How To Look Expensive," is all about getting great skin and haircare results without breaking the bank. Here are some of her tips.

Avon has been pushing this boundary between skincare and science for decades now and they've come up with some innovative and affordable products from their Avon Anew line, while John Frieda fights the good fight agains frizz.

Powerful Pads

First, there's the Avon Extra Strength Retexturing Peel, which is the equivalent of going to the dermatologist for a treatment without having to leave home, according to Lustig. You get about 30 days of fabulous skin with 25 pads, all for $30. "100% of women saw improvement in the skin. You can't beat that," she says. And 97% even said their crow's feet disappeared with this product. The secret? Botanical ingredients are mixed in with an exclusive Avon collection of acids. Just wipe it on. "It's a total game changer, and won't irritate your skin," says the expert.

Antioxidant Power

Avon Anew Vitamin C Serum has incredibly potent antioxidants in the form of Vitamin C in an exclusive Avon formula. It works by employing these antioxidants--which fight aging free radicals--to help you maintain beautiful skin. "Imagine this: 250% more than a glass of orange juice," says Lustig. "That's how potent this product is, and it also won't irritate your skin." Women see results in two weeks, and acts as a protective measure as well.

Anti-Aging Superstar

We all want to wear less makeup in the summer, and that's where Avon Anew Refining Cream comes in. "It's an AHA cream that also has soothing ingredients. You put it on like a day cream, and it's noncomedogenic, safe for every skin type and will visibly slough away all dead skin cells," says Lustig of the technologically advanced, non-irritating formula. "It leaves you with incredibly glowy skin."

Frizz Fighter

There's an incredibly innovative, game-changing product on the market called a pre-shower treatment. It's called the 10 Day Tamer Pre-Shower Treatment from the John Frieda people who have been solving the frizz problem for 25 years. "Pre-shower treatments are a new product category you put on before you shampoo. You put it on like a mask and leave on for 10 minutes before you wash your hair," according to Lustig. After shampooing and conditioning you style your hair as normal, and the result will be gorgeous, sleek hair. Frizz will be gone for 10 days or 5 shampoos, whichever comes first. "When I tell women they can have frizz-free hair for 10 days straight they look at my like I'm crazy, but I'm telling you that it works."
