    well i have had so much trouble getting the caster oil, went in 5 chemists now, sainsburys and morrisons and boots, superdrug etc, the only one was sainsburys who have ordered me some in and i will have to go over to collect so had better be worth it! I also never knew it was for constipation which was rather embarrasing and have been told it has now been discontinued.

    Please tell me you are joking and that you dont really put surgical spirit anywhere near your face
    No I wasnt joking. Most men use aftershave which is about the same strength as surgical spirit. You old girlies stick so much crap on your faces Oils foundation moisturisers etc its not surprising bacteria gets trapped in pores. Surgical spirit kills all known bacteria.
    Who I am is not important. What I do is.

    This "OLD" girl doesnt put any crap on her face thankyou very much and certainly wouldnt put anything as strong as surgical spirit or alcohol on it:eek::eek:

    Personally I use castor oil as a cleanser, vit E as a moisturiser and mineral make up - no blackheads, no spots and a wrinkle free at 44 :p
