One you just can't live without

And one that you wish existed

please.........(oh not cleaning stuff, I mean skincare products)

Don't think you are going to like me here !!

But as one whose dressing table it supremely void of make up bla bla ...

essential ... is hot water for relaxation ... and steam for cleaning and as a decongestant etc

wishlist ... pair of hands in a tube to give my neck and shoulders a mind blowing massage!!

... sorry

nice one Flo

not talking make-up though..............moisturiser, hand cream etc etc

Essential is easy ... lavender / aloevera for hands ... favourite product Crabtree & Evelyn "La Source" hand Therapy

Wish list ... instant hand cleaner

I have the driest skin on the planet and I have to put handcream on all the times. I have tubes of the stuff in every room so it's always to hand I have tried them all and get on best with Avon's glycerine one which they've been selling for donkeys years

Face is dead dry too and with all the lotty visits I have to keep supplies of moisturiser, hand cream and lip salve in the lotty shed. Rich Moisture day cream from Avon and their lip rescue stuff.

A good cheapo moisture cream is from Wilko. It smells gorgeous

clinique 'dramatically different' face cream....it's the only one that doesn'tgive me a rash for hours, flare up only lasts 10 minutes

oilatum (prescription bath oil from GP for excema) lovely stuff.....the smell makes me all nostalgic cos I used it as a kiddie, so did Vikkie and now so does Sophie
(and I still pinch a bit on Sundays cos it makes you skin lovely and soft )

wish list product?
a tool to extract the aloe vera gloop from my plant without disfiguring it please

I know it's not a lotion, but I can't live without dental floss. When I had dermititis on my hands I used to carry a guest jar of honey and plasters around. Worked a treat and now it has gone.
Something to stop my piggy feet please that comes in a cooling spray.

Somebody once told me (dunno who or why) that you needed to moisturise from the inside. Which doesn't mean hammer lager down your head ladies - it means drink lots and lots of water

Water
And truly water soluble hair products that are affordable and easy to get hold of.

swarfega prefer the orangey smelling one warm water will them do

so you wish warm water existed

Hydrating from within is the ideal, you studying beauty now Andy, I know there are plenty of opportunities in Cyprus didn't realise beauty therapy was one of them

So boys ......... sensible answers please

well boil the kettle or light a fire...............theres just no pleasing some people

sounds like a plan Ady ....................cept I haven't got a passport

If you do the faces - I'll do the rest of them

...............you have been doing beauty therapy training haven't you , part of training means you have to have all treatments done on you before you can be qualified to do them

Nothing I can't do without ... I learn that afresh whenever someone changes the recipe for my soap or shampoo or whatever and I'm allergic to something in the new one

Wish list - anything which doesn't contain alcohol, orange/lemon/lime/grapefruit/tangerine ... well, any kind of citrus or citric acid, lavender or any other floral scent (and, obviously, tricoslan, parabens, & other nasties). I'm a bit dubious about aloe vera as well. And probably lots of other things. Tea tree, eucalyptus, peppermint, and rosemary are all good though

I just knew I should have read the small print

I used to use some of that gardeners hand cleaner stuff that feels like it's swarfega with sand in it and comes in a posh glass tub thing. It was dead good (and dead expensive, so I'm told)

I have several moisturisers here and some face stuff with sand in. I use it a lot more than I used to cos it's sunny all the time.

good lad...............and you should use it even if it isnt' hot

Can't live without - lip salve.

Wish there was - !!instant!! muscle relaxer for aching legs after cycling.

but pain does make me feel virtuous

for all you lip salve users, is it a vaseline based one?

why are you asking us these questions Lilo?
are you on a mission?

(or on a course?)

industrial espionage

tis a cunning plan me thinks she trying to find out what to buy us all for christmas


well mabey not but worth a try
