Personally I'd send him to the GP. Like I do with DS2 when he gets patches like this!

unfortunately there is absolute zero chance of him going to the docs - typical bloke I'm afraid!

Tell him if he doesn't get it sorted all his hair will fall out - see if that motivates him! :rotfl:

I cannot find the thread for home made body butter, etc. but wondered where to buy shea butter, cocoa butter. If anyone can advise I'd be grateful as I really want to make my own as pure as possible.

I am sure that l'occitane sell pure shea butter. It is not cheap though, i am sure I paid nearly £25 for mine but it is amzing - not money saving though.

For great moisturising, I often use coconut oil from superdrug on my skin. I think it is pur coconut oil and only costs £1 - bargain

I recently bought some unrefined shea butter from Amazon - the company is called Calmer Solutions and they also sell cocoa butter. They're pretty cheap, £2.60 for shea and £2.75 for cocoa butter (120ml jar).

I love the thought of home made products - I'm going to give the handcream a try. Her Eve Lom-replacement cleanser is like the oil cleansing method that I just love. www.theoilcleansingmethod.com . I've been experiementing with essential oils too and fancy having a go at my own fragrance.
