    Can anyone recommend a face moisturiser with SPF, for skin on the dry side?

    I would recommend these two...the first one is richer so probably better for dry skin than the Olay one, but both are HG products of mine :)

    FYI the olay one is always about £5 in Asda, not just atm.

    I have a Avon Skin So Soft dry body oil which has gone hard :( but there's still some liquid in it but its gone pretty solid and I can't get the pump to work anymore. :mad:
    The only way to get the oil out is to tip it up, does anyone have any ideas what I can do with the solid bit, maybe heat it up would that work? :question:
    The neck is so narrow that I can't tip the solid bit out, and would rather not cut it open (last time I did that I nearly lost my thumb! :eek:)

    TIA

    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    sachet of Dr Hauschka handcream - WNBA more like a lotion and not very moisturising

    Random bubble bath from the bag my work friend gave me - WNBA didnt smell great and not very bubbly.
    No more buying toiletries

    Second UU Bodyshop Satsuma shower gel - used the last bit for a bubble bath that I am just running for a good soak after work. Lovely fragrance WBA. Also TA a nail polish that I used this morning before work - it had definitely gone past best and took ages to dry, have to take it off in a second. Many more nail polishes to work through, but I'm having fun doing it - thanks so much for this thread - its really great.

    Count me in for this month too :) I've just come back from a holiday on which I used up some face wash samples so that's two UU's for me already as I used them in the first few days of this month :)

    One was the neutrogena grapefruit face wash which I already use at home and quite like the smell of. Can't remember what the other one was though! But at least they're gone!

    Hi all :wave: long time no speak!

    I have a confession to make...

    My name is Carolyn and I'm a toiletries addict :o

    I'm in properly for this month, really need to get my butt into gear!

    Hugs to all.

    A few ins to report, bought in sale from Superdrug. Most are essential items which i will need so don't feel too guilt:

    5 x Superdrug enamel toothpaste reduced down to 59p
    1 Simple eye remover
    2 x Superdrug 80 pack baby wipes reduced to 70p
    1 bottle of Glycerin which I use as night moisturiser
    2 x perfume sample of Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday which Superdrug has thrown in as a freebie. Great addition to my handbag.

    i also bought a fab black sheen make up bag from ebay which is the perfect size to carry my make up essentials.

    2 more INS for me (and so far no OUTS) - Mum took me on a soap making demonstration, and I bought a bar of soap afterwards. Mum then treated me to some expensive moisturiser to help with a bad patch of dry skin on my leg.
