    i use earl grey (at the mo, they were free from a mate who hated the taste.) make sure you rinse with warm water or else you get panda effect eyes.

    This sounds great...will have to try and find a cheap bottle on Monday. :D I used to have really clear skin when I was younger but it seems to have gone to pot nowadays. :o

    Fullers earth...blimey I remember making myself a face mask with that when I was younger.

    Thanks for the tip.

  • I dont know if this is true, but I remember reading somewhere years ago that some beauty therapists use clay cat litter for face masks, its made of the same stuff a fullers earth apparently. Never tried it myself, but I do remember using the fullers as a teen. ( once apon a time many years ago ):o

    I draw the line at sharing my cat's litter I'm afraid lol!!! Although I DO use the fullers earth type one from time to time :) (Have switched over to woodchip type pellets - smell nicer :) )

    Will try the milk of magnesium tho :) Might even try it on OH without telling him what it is ;)
