I've just discovered the satisfying smoothness from a Korean towel. It's made my skin feel amazing!!! Why have I only just heard of these when they have been around for decades!!

Are there any other products that you have discovered and now can't live without? I'm trying to take better care of my skin and generally feel less like a frumpy fat blob and would like to try some new skincare/hair/makeup routines

I use olive oil to remove my makeup. Just smear it all over your made up face, and it smears it all together. Then use a warm flannel and wipe it all off. It removes everything so well.

Some great suggestions. I've never heard of a stypic pen but sounds like something I need after squeezing not squeezing my chin spots!!

I tried the chiropody sponge and it works a treat so thanks for that one!!

I might give the talc a go. I currently use skin food (a Korean white talc made from rice I think) but it costs ££££

Keep the great tips coming!!

Loup, do you use instant coffee or does it have to be fresh coffee grounds? My dark circles are so bad so would like to give this a try.

Coconut oil as a conditioning treatment - just slather on and leave before washing hair as normal. Leaves hair lovely and swishy.

Baby lotion to remove make up, I never use face wash as it dries me out completely. I never rinse my mouth out after brushing my teeth as the toothpaste is suppose to stay in your teeth for it to benefit. I don't brush my hair as it becomes a huge puff ball (thick and wavy). I wash my black jeans in the machine without detergent as it makes them go white and streaky. I always leave my hair conditioner on as I wash myself and shave my legs etc my hair is so much softer for the extra 5 to 10 minutes. I always tap my make up brushes on the side of a table after loading them with product, before using them so I don't end up with too much blusher on etc. I put foundation in the back of my hand when applying as the heat warms it up ready to use.
