I like those shower thingies in practicality, but emotionally they leave me feeling....well, like I just rubbed my self with a ball of plastic netting. . It doesn't make me feel....as if I have 'loved myself well' during the cleansing ritual of my shower.

I really like a fake sponge with the really scratchy side ( I love the really scratchy side!) . But others mistake them for something to clean the bathroom with.

Real sponges and loofahs look unbeatably beautiful but never feel good to me.

So clarisonic for face , a face cloth and a good body brush win for me.

I agree - I can't get away from thinking about them as plastic netting either.

I was more swayed by Nemo than what he's perched (note: fish-related pun ) on.

I keep toying with the idea of getting a clarisonic (I've got some gift vouchers to use up). But I think it might be a bit of a leap for me - I usually just use handsoap to wash my face (to bring the conversation back round...).

Zap! Zag's zany zeal zestfully zooms us into NP part 14: Zinging!

And as I am still on the first page, just to say to all the NP who no longer post regularly, you are certainly not forgotten (unless you want to be)

Some of us are a bit harder to get rid of...

Thank you. So do I. I am a nice person, I really hate it when not-nice people interrupt my flow.

I changed three of my tyres when they got to 3mm, 'cause of you.

The other one was over, not under, btw

So agree with this doozer. New neighbours who bought the house did something naughty with the fence. I don't want any dispute. Peaceful co-existence will do, but have spent a week now trying to figure out if they're not nice, & how not nice.

I won. Just glad its over. Thank you for the wishes. They really helped.

The other side was all over the place. She also denied any knowledge of the witness, pretty much.

:j:T
Bluff called! Glad to hear it.

I love my clarisonic.

I would not bother again with the one with the body brush ( which would take down the price ). I NEVER use this. ( though maybe I will try as a summer resolution?), I find it less satisfying than a good scrub and I just use the face brush on d!collet!.

Also, some skin seems to really hate it, reading reviews. I don't know how much the really cheap high st ones are, but it might be worth trialling with one?


I find how often I use it changes. Sometimes its 2x day, sometimes once, sometimes even less, but it like minimum of once. I listen to my skin.

I'm in a slightly awkward moment right now as the moisturiser I love and trust since getting the rosacea I am finding a bit too heavy, but I'm nervous to try a lighter one......any other one, because of my sensitive skin, I need to sort that out quite soon. Its incredible to have reached a stage wear a moisturiser is too much

Edit:

I just remembered I can use avene as well as aveeno and that was lighter! Boots here I come!

Thanks for that lovely thought!

Adds blue anti-bacterial liquid soap to shopping list.

I'm not OCD, but I always think of the unclean hands that have handled the bar soap before me.

This has always struck me as strange. Like when someone was advertising that liquid soap dispenser that you didn't touch, as sensors released the soap.

OK, so you may pick up "dirty soap", but what do you then do? wash your hands!

I just rub the actual bar of soap on me to get a good lather going! Can't use those plastic whatevers...

You are pn's and silver car's worst nightmare. I am also guessing you have some body hair. That seems to get more lather going Than smooth bodies.....another good reason to take a man into the shower with one.

Two hairy men must be able to have incredible lather rubbing together

The most I do skin on soap is with the end of the bar in the bath I rub it round and roan to make a milky soap bAth. Very indulgent, but saves getting those ugly slivers.

You expect us to believe you have never taken two men into the shower at once....

You missed the hairy bit. Not all men are hairy.

Not had a good day (ill, nothing worse), so will catch up later...

But for any of you who remember The Weirdstone of Brisingamen and other books by Alan Garner, you might enjoy this article in New Statesman.
