Do you pay to be beautiful?

Do you pay to be beautiful? How much do you spend on your beauty regime (cosmetics, make-up, skin-care, hair products, the works)

a. Women: Nothing, I was born this way
b. Women: Nowt, I really can’t be bothered with all that
c. Women: Below £100 per year; Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
d. Women: £100-299 per year; A little bit of pampering goes a long way
e. Women: £300-599 per year; Well, my skin’s not getting any younger
f. Women: £600-999 You can never spend too much on looking good
g. Women: £1000+ More slap than Itchy and Scratchy
h. Men: Nowt, who cares
i. Men: Below £49 per year; rough and ready that's my motto
j. Men: £50-199 per year; A little bit of pampering goes a long way
k. Men: £200-399 per year; I'll take any help I can get

    Does this count basics like soap and shampoo or just posh stuff?
    Is keeping clean the same as using beauty products??
    How about shaving, is that basic hygiene or a beauty regime?
