She shared how women should not be tempted to 'pay more for pink packaging.'
In a clip on her
She explained: 'It costs £5.40 for the 30ml bottle but if you head over to the men's
skincare
section you can get exactly the same product for way cheaper.
'This one costs £2.50 for 50ml of product so you're actually getting more product for half the price.
'When you compare the ingredients side by side they are identical.
'Nothing is different apart from the fact that one is in green packaging and one is in
pink
packaging.'
She advised when you are shopping for toiletries that it is worth checking if the men's section has a cheaper alternative as 'pink tax' is 'very real.'
Her video has racked up a staggering 600,000 views, and sparked a debate in the comments.

However, one person theorised: 'Isn't most pink tax just because there's higher demand among women so they add a higher price?
'In which case the real issue isn't misogyny it's capitalism and exploitation of consumers that everyone should be mad at.'
And one shared: 'I feel like this issue applies to unnecessary products, too, like meds that are designed and sold as 'period pain relief' products when it's literally just paracetamol and ibuprofen in the one capsule.'
