Another Aldi skincare fan here. The Syn-ake (sp?) antiwrinkle thing is astonishing and the Q10 day/night creams are pretty damn good.
Also seconding Tresemme, Nivea, Vaseline, Pond's cocoa butter, Astral.
Adding Norwegian Formula hand cream and Vitapointe hair smoother/softener.
Almond oil and glycerin from the chemist.
Olive oil from the supermarket.
Oatmeal from the health shop.
I make a rich, softening hand & body lotion from a tub of Aqueous Cream, a bottle of almond oil, a bottle of almond oil and some water. Stick the cream in the mixer, trickle oil & glycerin in until it becomes a thick, fluffy lotion, then add water to the texture you want. Add essential oils if you feel like it. Doesn't need to be kept in the fridge.
Olive oil makes a good hair mask, makeup remover, everything really!
Oatmeal face packs for cleansing & smoothing.
I used to buy kaolin from the chemist for brilliant cleansing packs, but it's hard to get now. You can use cat litter, though! The natural clay sort - mash it to a powder in the blender or pestle & mortar. It's grey, unfortunately, not white, but does a good job.
