    can anyone recommend a cheapish bronzer for a blonde. (not too sparkly but not flat colour either...I know i ask alot ;0))

    Rather than going for a bronze bronzer go for a peach bronzer if your fair. Sheer Cover do a mineral one but its quite expensive, so look on ebay and try and get it cheap. HTH

    I have been using Rescue oil as recommended near the beginning of this thread, for a few months, and I have to say, it's fab. My dermatitis dry bits have gone, and I have less spots and blackheads too! I did try Aldi's version too, but my skin reacted to it, so back to Poundland's Rescue Oil, I now have a little stock pile, even though a bottle lasts for a couple of months! Can't recommend it highly enough, I know it feels oily but it soon sinks in.

    Regarding this helping spots..... do you mean you are using this as more of an oil cleanser or as a moisturiser
    Thanks

    Can't remember if anyone has said, or if I have lol, but keep used teabags in a pot in the fridge. Each morning place them on your eyes and lay back for 5 while the kettle boils - I don't know why but this makes your eyes look super fresh and reduces bags (not clinically proven hahah)

    HTH some one out there xx

    I've thought of something! Beautilicius Toffee Almond Body Glaze, it has retro packaging like Soap & Glory, the leaves skin soft, I bought mine in store at Debenhams for #5

    Heads up! the Superdrug MUA £1 complete range is now available on their website!! Great for those of us that haven't had it brought to their local store. I haven't checked out the postage costs.

    I use, fragrance free baby lotion as a cleanser that I just wash off and use the Rescue Oil as a moisturiser, HTH I also sometime use that radiance balm from Superdrug, when I remember to use it!

    I got a cleansing/massage brush from soap and glory (£4) which has definetely improved my cleansing routine.

    Also started using aloe vera on my skin - great acne treatment. £2.99 for 200ml from H&B.

    I went to my local Aldi today to get some more of this, and there was NONE!!! Shelves were just full of the Lacura range, whihc I never found as good.

    I am really hoping that it has not been discontinued, as I love this cream...
