Add ground almonds or ground rice to your cleanser/soap when doing your cleansing routine and it will provide you with a cheap but good exfolator for the face, which rids the skin of dead skin cells that will block the pores and create spots.

(((((((((HUG))))))))))

I am really sorry To hear about your dog.

For your eyes, smother your face in moisturiser, which has been in the fridge for a few minutes and try some slices of cucumber on your eyes for 10 -15 mins.

Or try peppermint or camomile tea bags infused in water, and cooled in the fridge. Again use on your eyes for 10-15 minutes.

Keep smiling :P

Thank you so much! I am off to load up the fridge!!
Don't have any cucumber but have just remembered I have one of those avery gel filled eye masks from the freebie board!

Also have some peppermint teabags that I hadn't worked up courage to drink so will try those out as well

Have just made myself cry some more by writing out a poem for her but guess it is best to get it out of your system, she had a good, long and happy life so yes I will be smiling too

Thank you again for your kindness

thats so so sad. a big hug to you, and my thoughts are with you.

try teaspoons in the fridge, is what i do, then lay with them on your eyes for 10 mins, works wonders and is reuable as many times as you need. :-*

I just wanted to say sorry for your loss and to agree with the above tips.
The Avery gel mask is very good.

Thanks everyone, you are such lovely people!

It has already brought a smile to my face thinking of what my husband would say if he opened to fridge now to find 2 used peppermint teabags, 2 teaspoons, a pot of nivea and what looks like an eye mask for zorro!! lol

I will try all these wonderful ideas though before I head off to work.

I am also being brave and drinking the peppermint tea! It is actually not too bad and is settling my queasy tum as well!
