No Buying Toiletries in February Challenge

I also tried the sample Olay Regenerist flawless skin cream this morning. I didn't like it either, it made my skin itch so I will use this one up as a SPF hand cream in the summer.
Can anyone recommend a facial sun cream (ideally non chemical) to use on top of my moisturiser. My HG has for many years been LE's sun cream but I don't get on with the newly formulated one so I am gutted that I now have to find another brand. Most facial sun creams that I have tried seem to make my skin itch. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations SJP, hope you are all doing well.
Couple of little ins for me today, the AC machine gave me one of the 1/3 off deoderant vouchers so I used it for the dove one which is already on offer - less than 30p seemed wrong not to get it. Also got a mitchum spray in sainsburys £1.85. Had a NPI in b**ts, wanted to buy 3 breakfast scrubs on 3 for 2 (I love this stuff) but resisted, it is still more than I want to pay for a scrub.The devil makes works for idle hands0 -

Glad it's not just me. Its weird how products from the same range can make people react so differentlyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:wave:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0 -
Just been reading Lynsey's list again - glad I'm not the only Avon addict
I was actually jealous reading all that lot!
LOL where the heck do you keep it all???
I keep it all in those collapsable (sp?) crates in the wardrobe in the spare room. I also have some bits in a carrier bag as it doesn't all fit in there. My aim a few weeks back was to get everything from the carrier bag into the crates and I nearly managed it. Unfortunately I've added to the carrier bag since then so not quite going the right way.Did owe £9,951.96

Also finished off a Body Shop Tea Tree Facial Wash. WIBA? One more in the stash but yes, will be buying again too.ISA savings: £25,139 Other Savings: £1750 (tied up in bond)0

Wow Lynseydee, that's a fab stash, you could wash a small nation with that lot.
How do you rate the avon facial skincare, I've never used it but have been tempted?
Out of all the facial skincare I have, I've used the Milk & Honey one before and I liked it so when they brought it back I bought some more so hoping that I still like it when I come round to using it. I'm currently using the Solutions Self-Foaming cleanser at the moment and I guess it is an ok cleanser. The getting used to putting a foam on your face took a bit of getting used to though. I seem to find despite having combination skin the creamy type cleansers feel and make my skin look better.
If you wanted to try it, and don't have a huge stash of other cleansers, I think most of them for the price arn't too much to fork out on but, as well, if it doesn't agree with your skin or you don't like it you should be able to return it to your rep for a replacement or your money back. It's been a while since I was a rep but I occasionally used to get people returning things.Did owe £9,951.96

Thanks, might give something a go when I need to, good that you can return it if it doesn't suit you.The devil makes works for idle hands0 -
:beer: congrats SJP on your litte addition.
I have quite a few places for stashing my loot. I have a 6 drawer plastic storage unit which lives in a built in wardrobes. The top shelf in the same wardrobe is given over to large vanity cases stuffed with goodies. Both my bathrooms have matching 2 tier wicker baskets. My ensuite also has an over the door 3 rack metal unit, 2 storage units in my shower and a very large shelf littered with products. My bedside drawers (3 of) are also full of small products and my night time skin care routine.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380
