    glad it helps, also drinking plenty of water is good if you crying a lot to rehydriate the skin.

    big hug to you. :-*

    Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

    Use a smaller amount of foundation and mix it with a dab of moisturisor. Leaves you with a lovely smooth finish and saves on foundation and moisturisor.

    Oh thanks for that! I have dry skin now (joys of getting older!) so that would help.

  • A WARNING!!!!

    Use haemoroid cream occasionally, its not to be used every day as it thins the skin over time.

    Your right though, supermodels use it when they are having a bad day.

    HUG to Catznine........been there, done that, time is a great healer HUG

    In my experience, Chamomile tea is a soothing restorative against bereavement and grief. It don't taste all that nice, but I have used it and found it helpful.

    Decided to make my own concoction again last night, so I've got a basic moisturiser, some left-over samples of a Clarins cream, an SPF moisturiser, some green anti-redness cream, and some Tesco Chamomile or whatever it is gel in it. Thought about adding sunscreen too, might do that in Summer. And some proper Lavender gel I was given as a pressie. I'm gonna add that to my night cream mix.
