Best thing you've learnt (on here) this year?

[tobee]

Or this decade?

Since it's coming to the end of the year and also decade.

I was reminded how good Anne French Deep Cleansing Milk is by these boards.

@riverrunsred Very glory & illuminating on my skin, and light too. Foundation goes on beautifully afterwards.

After struggling with my skin since my teens (im now 40) i have to say the ordinary skincare has literally changed my skin and life!!!! Thankyou to all of you on here who recommended it

@TerpsichoreanMuse Thanks so much. I'm going to give it a go.

Becca backlight primer.
Almost makes me look alive

Not glamorous, but the tips about washing with proper soap and a flannel, and the effective antiperspirants that come in boxes for about £5.

Like these responses!

@Beketaten What are those boxes please? I haven’t heard of them.

@BillieEilish which products from The Ordinary do you use?

peaceanddove Link to the trouser cuffing video please?
For me it is:
Double cleansing
Biore sun cream

@CleanAndPaidFor where did you get Soolantra from?

For those who have posted about double cleansing, what are your product recommendations for the second cleanse please ?

That if you wet a beauty blender it performs better

Nivea double effect makeup remover. I wouldn't use any other one on my eyes now after years of rubbing and stinging with other brands. Cheap as chips too

Love The Ordinary. It isn’t new for me this year but I do really enjoy using it.

I do think spending a bit more time on skin care really does help. I feel so much better about myself when my skin is looking great.

That Mint Velvet leggings are the bomb. I've lost size and they now fit me.

@WhoEatsPopTarts the Independent Pharmacy online. From memory it was £38 but that has lasted me nearly a year.

Philips Lumea
Soolantra
Tightlining
Philips Sonicare toothbrush
Cerave hydra cleanser
SNS dipping powder

Perfume Parlour - it's amazing!

I use Neutrogena Hydroboost cleanser for my dehydrated skin. It wouldn't remove make up very well but it has hyaluronic acid in so it plumps skin up like magic.

If your skin is sensitive try La Roche Pisay Toleraine, and if it's normal or very oily try Cosrx low pH morning cleanser.

@BemidjiMinnesota Thank you

Isle of paradise tanning drops! Game changer

Adding a little blob of Benefit Hi-Beam to your foundation gives you a lovely, subtle glow.

Timepasses sorry for late reply...

Vit C cream 23% (my fave) honestly, put it one every other pm and you will be shocked at the difference. (It stings, don't be alarmed)
Buffet (good everyday serum with peptides etc, special things!)
Caffeine eye stuff (for those tired days!)
People swear by retinol, I have it, but don't particularly rate it.

All of he above, less than 25 pounds in total. All with AT LEAST 50% more active ingredients that you'd pay 100's for.

@KMoKMo

What are those boxes please? I haven’t heard of them

Ones like Sure Women Maximum Protection Cream, Mitchum Ultimate and Dove Maximum Protection. They tend to come in boxes and cost £5, but are often in offer. So much better than the regular versions!

Tretinoin. Super strength prescription retinol. Forget all the over the counter stuff including The Ordinary. Doesn’t work. After two months of face peeling and purging, my skin has emerged better than ever.

Sunday Riley lactic acid. Banned in Europe. Available in USA. Why? Because it works!!! Ha
