No Buying Toiletries in Jan 2011 !!!!
Comments
-
I've got two more UU to report - Dove Silk? Dry Deodrant - WIBA? well I've got two more cans in my stash so yes, but thinking that I might try the Mitchum deodrant that lots of people are mentioning - but not until I've finished what I've got. Also a Champney's face mask - I think that it might be a double enzyme one? WIBA? well I have got another one in my stash, but they were both part of a gift set I got in 2008? I'm not sure if you can get them separately...Always be yourself, unless you can be a Unicorn - then always be a Unicorn !

If you use Boots, I wish you strength in avoiding S&G, Gok, FCUK, etc etc as you make your way to the pharmacy counter!I'm not sure tbh! I know that lots of people here rave about BS hemp hand stuff, or you could try coconut oil or body butter. Failing that, ask a chemist and they should be able to sort you out. Good luck
Thank you for your ideas. I never thought of aqueous cream - I need to buy a pot as Ive not used mine for many years!
I went into boots and got their own brand 'intensive for very dry skin hand cream' and its just soaking in and doing nothing!
I looked at the S &G stuff but it was £4.10 for the hand cream!! No chance! Hehe
Thank you! I shall pop to local chemist tomorrow to price it up!:D

HELP!
Hello ladies - if anyone in the world would know - it would be you guys....last few weeks my hands have become so dry! On the backs of my hands the skin sometimes gets inflamed they are that dry. I apply hand cream all the time and slap extra on at night, but nothing is helping and they are so bad! Any ideas on what I can do to help them, or what products I could buy to help them? Please??
Desperate!

Hi Salski - I have used Neutrogena hand cream when my hands have been really bad. As a Nurse at times they were quite raw but this is good albeit not so cheap stuff.
Why don't you go into a big store and ask for testers and samples and try a few things out.
No uu yet but a few nearly there. Still can't make my list,0 -
Another UU - Avon Planet Spa scrub. WIBA? Still got 5 more bottles in the stash (plus a mini Sanctuary body scrub that I'll be moving onto next) but I'll more than likely be buying again as I really like its effects and it's one of the few scrubs that doesn't dry my skin.ISA savings: £25,139 Other Savings: £1750 (tied up in bond)0

1 UU today - S&G Greatest Scrub of All - WIBA? Yes this is my HG facial exfoliator - discovered by chance in hat boxes last year, lasts for ages, this is the second one finished and have a third left which I've put in the shower already! It's a nice gentle exfoliator I think and I alternate this and a facewash, using Sanctuary at the moment as got it with vouchers and it's ok but not my favourite, use it in the shower and it gives my skin the gentle exfoliation it needs.
Two outs via ebay: the sexy mother pucker and girligo from my tote bag, I'm still using last years sexy mother pucker and am going off lip glosses and I don't like girligo - both went ok in the end, thanks for the tips on here about S&G going well on ebay.
So this month I've bought a few bits of S&G from Asos which I'll use all of and used my boots points to buy make up and spot gel, none of these in my stash/the ones I have used up/need replacing so I'm pretty pleased and once again this thread has helped me use things up and concentrate on some pampering - thanks all.Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000
