Mine are:

Garnier mositure bombs - just discovered these & love them
Olive oil & sugar to exfoliate chapped/dry lips - cheap & natural
Bonjela for coldsores - I find it works alot quicker than coldsore cream

Anyone else got any tips/hacks? 😗

Almond oil, honey and sugar for a once a week exfoliater it's so good!

Lush honey I washed my hair shampoo bar the smell really stays in the hair.

Almond oil on the cuticles

If any of you use olaplex no3 at home instead of using large amounts to do a treatment every couple of weeks I rub a pea sized amount through midlenghs and ends of washed towel dried hair then blow dry works a treat and a bottle easily lasts 6 months. Hairdresser gave me the last tip

@SpinSpinSpin sorry for the late reply! Any almond oil at all would do I think but the one I have at the moment (and TBH have been using for months as so little is needed) is from Superdrug in a small bottle, though can see Holland & Barrett also sell it: www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/miaroma-sweet-almond-oil-60060103?skuid=060103&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3YOL9uLe3wIVRIfVCh3q5AVtEAQYASABEgIaL_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Failing that any supermarket but the bottles tend to be bigger.

Use extra virgin olive oil as a moisturizer.

Spray after sun as a body moisturiser - lasts all day and you can do your own back!

Aloe Vera gel as a moisturiser on ‘break out’ days

Coconut oil as make up remover. Rub all over face, take off with a warm washcloth. I don’t even want to think about how much money I have wasted on make up remover in the past!

Another variation of the homemade scrub: Single cream and salt.

I like coconut oil and brown sugar as a scrub - use an electric whisk to whisk the oil, it stays solid but it much easier to use. Then whip in as much brown sugar as you like. Smells gorgeous and scrubs beautifully.

Sugar and lemon juice is a good scrub for hands. Little bit in your palm, rub in well then leave for a couple of minutes and rinse. You can of course use the oil mix, this is good if you know you’re going to have to open a jar straight after!

Look after your cuticles with oil - any oil is fine, but if you buy a cheap cuticle oil and top up with olive or almond oil, it’s easier to carry about. Oil regularly throughout the day, invest in one of these and push cuticles back. Nails look so much nicer when well looked after.

If you like Korean skincare, try TK Max. I’ve got some great sheet masks and some tony moly face cream from there.

If you like oils seriously consider getting some monoi de Tahiti oil. It smells amazing and I love it for my face and hair.
