So, in my stupor of exhaustion, I slathered on some of my DCs' strawberry hair conditioner. Not the posho ones I usually use, no. Just the pink, smells-of-strawberries-but-not-really stuff.

My hair is softer and smoother than ever.

Another one, instead of buying all the pricey paraben-free stuff I used to by, is to get Boots own baby wash. Smells nice (gentle smell), does the job, no mad dryness either. £1.99 a pop. I used it when my own stuff ran out.

Can you see a theme here?! Grin

Do you have any to share?

The Matey bubble bath turned my bath blue. Shock

I'm in love with Korean stuff. I kind of knew this all along but got some samples recently and am totally hooked. BB creams, masks in particular. I think they are years ahead of us and the products are terrific for pale skin.

Im with Frugal DH went to Korea for work and bought me a load of face masks and lip tints and he was given loads of samples. The cream serum was so nice on my face and the moisture lock was perfect for my dry skin.

I've been using vosene to wash my face and have ?ovely smooth clear skin thanks to all the medicated salicyclic acid in it Grin

Oh, the Korean stuff sounds intriguing.

I went away last week and packed a toiletries bag with a few bits that were in there, which I no longer use. My skin was so very soft and I'm now trying to figure out what had the effect by a process of elimination.

Honey, really? I'd have thought it would be harsh. Sounds great!

Metanium nappy rash ointment drys up zits really well. I only discovered this when I wiped some on my jawline by mistake!
