I have just discovered the secret to gorgeous, glowing, smooth, plumped up skin on my face.......

[FriedGreenTomatoes]

...and it is Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter!

I can't even remember what made me put it on my face one day but OMG - it is fab. I have been using it constantly for 2 weeks now and my skin now has the smoothest texture, which I don't think it's had since pre-pubescence. And it makes my foundation look super dewy and youthful too. It is SO much better than all the expensive face creams I have tried - including Creme de la Mer.

Would post more, but I am off to camp outside Waitrose.

I love recommendations like this. how old are you if you dont' mind me asking and what type of skin do you have?

I shall be nipping into DS1's room to steal his tub in the morning . At this point anything is worth a try...

It hasn't given you spots or anything?

I tried the aldi cream which was supposed to be wonderful, equivalent to £50 pots.

It was rubbish, and after 2 weeks I have spots under my skin, and the texture feels horrible.

So no spots with baby bottom butter?

WC - I am 32. My skin is combination - mixture of oily in some places but very dry in others. Well it was until I started using the Bottom Butter. Now it is all plump and glowing and totally hydrated.

And no Bumper, it hasn't given me spots. In fact, as I no longer need to use foundation (cos skin is so great) then less likelihood of clogged pores causing spots!

looks like a case of my (babies) arse your face (cream) - seriously though is it greasy?

When I got married about 10 years ago I had a clinique facial and loads of samples. One face cream was fab, it sort of heated up when you put it on then turned my skin really smooth. i went back and asked what it was and could I have a larger size, where I was met with a smirk of 'that madame is cellulite cream for your legs'

yeah, what's his office's number? does he offer a payment plan for the surgical procedures?

You only need a small amount - about a thumb nail size blob - so a tub would last AGES.

expat - the right thread??

I refuse to believe it doesnt give one spots

Apparently slebs use hemorrhoid cream to prevent wrinkles...

Furball - I think if you used too much it could feel a bit greasy. But start with a small amount then see if it is enough for you.

LOL at the cellulite cream on your face

well fortunately it's not going to break the bank tp find out

yes, because the only 'secret' to good skin after a certain age is a good cosmetic surgeon .

Tempted to nip upstairs and find out!

sorry expat - I get you now!

I tried the piles cream (Anusol) on my bags after a night out drinking. Just made my eyes itch like buggery and ooze stuff out of them the next day !!

Ah, I knew there was something about it...

FGT, next time, soak some green tea bags, then pop them in the fridge till cool and ptu those over your eyes for a few minutes.

Then drop some Optrex refreshing drops in your eyes.

No one will be the wiser!

Expat - that certainly sounds better. Anusol was all I had to hand at the time as I was in a hotel on a training course for work. I thought it would disguise the puffy eyes from too much boozing and not enough sleep. But alas, it just made me look even more booze addled than before!

don't worry, i've made the same mistake, FGT .

with an american pile creme called Preparation H.

luckily it was not a workday and it was back when i was still childless.

i'm never without eye drops for such occassions!

if you don't have any green tea bags, i can't remember how makes them, i think it might be guerlin, i need to check, but someone makes these disc-shaped pads in a jar made to deal with puffy eyes like that and according to friends they really work.
