Basically I look like a scruff! I don't have any set routine so forget sometimes to do my eyebrows until the are hideous werewolflike messy and my nails are ignored. My skin is atrocious too. I just never seem to be able to look groomed and pretty!!
Do you have a daily / weekly / monthly grooming routine?
How much time do you spend on your looks?
I am thinking that professional help might be needed! Tempted by HD Brows but they would look wrong if the rest of me is well a mess.
I have just never been organised about all this beauty stuff. It is like everyone else was taken into a secret "how to be groomed" lesson that I missed out on. Come to think of it, I missed the "how to style your hair" and "how to dress so you don't look like you got dressed in the dark.... in your Nan's wardrobe" lessons too!

How to be groomed?

Please talk to me about Simple Face Wash - used it for 3 or 4 days and my face feels like it is mildly sunburnt - all tight and itchy.
Needless to say I have now stopped, but I wondered if anyone else got this sensation?
What to use instead? Need something seriously seriously gentle (which I thought Simple would be - all the blurb on the tube is about how they are experts in sensitive skin etc..... 
)
I have always used coconut oil and almond oil now and again over the years but not as a proper cleansing routine iykwim?
I was a bit reluctant to use castor oil on my face but have been talked round as apparently that's what gets rid of all the nasties. I don't ever have spots but I do have occasional white heads so I am hoping that will help. Last night was the first time I used almond oil properly to massage my face with and then removed with a hot muslin cloth - it felt really lovely. Will be interesting to see how I get on with the castor oil as well.
Wrt the Naked shampoo - I am massively impressed with it, I used a detox one as I had product build up and then I also have a mild one for sensitive scalps as I am prone to flakiness - all of the dryness and flakes ( urggh!) went after just one wash and my hair looks seriously good, even if I do say so myself 
You can order the products on line as they have a website.
[b]Anonymousbird[/b]I've had the same problem with Simple! Their toner was so harsh that it felt like I'd cleaned my face with paint stripper
! I was livid and wrote to complain they sent me a £5 voucher for boots and a chart to fill out explaining the problem.
Their toner is so harsh it must have alcohol in it!
Mrs M what's your opinion in MAC mineralise skin finish natural? I would sweep this over my face when pregnant and was told I was glowing (even though I wasn't! Aaah make up is a wonderful thing!)
Recently tried Bobbi Browns tinted extra balm! Wow! It was lovely makes my skin look all dewy with a tiny amount...the lady at the BB counter was kind enough to give me a sample before I shelled out £34 (!!) for the product after I explained how sensitive my skin is. The sample lasted 2 1/2 months of daily usage! I had to go to a BB twice to get the sample as the first time I asked was told that I should buy the product and then could return it if it didn't work!
As you all keep raving about Barbara Daly stuff, I'm planning a trip out to our "big" Tescos next week (on a child free day!) what BD products should I buy? All of them?

I got my LD nail buffer today & have lovely shiney nails
I have nominated thursdays as my pamper evening (DH is usually out) - gave my hair a treatment this week & got the exfoliating glove out - can anyone recommend a nice scrub instead of me using what feels like a pan scrubber?
