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.

Ah... thats a shame. maybe if they are passing one some time.

It's sold out in my local waitrose - I went there speshly today. and are there really 100s of mumsnetters living near here?

And I'm starting to wonder if this is a very clever marketing ploy - susie or fried - neither of you work for John Lewis, waitrose or ocado do you ??!

Shit.... cover blown!

Those of you who are worried about feeling all greasy, apply a tiny bit to slightly damp skin. If you are still feeling a little like fish and chips, put some more water over the top - ideally use a bottle with a fine spray, but I guess splashing a bit on will do the job.

It's much the same principle as using an oil (Jojoba, Rosehip, avocado etc) as a moisturiser. They do absorb in but just take that little longer than a traditional cream.

I will take my Waitrose-loving arse to buy curry and bum cream as soon as DH gets in tonight. If they can treat me like a princess, make fab food AND take years off my skin I will never leave the place again.

PW, I'm closer to Surbiton (jsut call me Margo)

Margo, I can see Surbiton from my side of the bridge

Ooh - have I caused a run on Waitrose Bottom Butter now? I'd better make sure I get stocked up myself (though I don't think there are a proliferation on MNers near me - but best be safe!).
I am pleased that others are benefitting from my odd discovery though.
But should I feel guilty all those poor babies in Kingston who might be subjected to chemical bottom creams cos we are using their normal natural botty cream on our faces?

Bugger, I had better go to Epsom if Surbiton and Kingston have sold out

I wanted to live in Surbiton but couldn't afford it

hat waves at all these surbiton-kingston mners through her bedroom window...I had no idea...(also wonders if she knows any of you in rl )

I'm an Epsom mner so close enough

i got some at my waitrose today - there was quite a lot there so obv. not many Mners around!

I love the smell btw! - have put it on my hands. Thinking about trying it on face overnight, but judging by how it is on my hand, i'm thinking it might be kind of greasy??

I will report back tomorrow A.M.!

I've been wearing this for 3-4 days now and think it's the dogs bolleaux!

really really impressed with how plumped and smooth it makes my skin look,especially around the eyes.

I haven't used it on my nose where I am prone to blackheads though.

I live in Kingston! I wonder if we've ever walked past each other before!?

ggirl - would you suggest not using it around more greasy skin areas?

perhaps I should put it just round eyes and on cheeks etc. tonight

ooh the excitement!!

littlelapin -
tell him it's for a surprise massage - he'll buy you 10 pots

yes I only put on cheeks ,under eyes and avoid the t-zone where I am prone to blackheads.

I'm trying it on my hands (horribly chapped as they are, and L'Occitane wasn't working) - but it hasn't had any effect (wimper).

well I have more of an I-zone as my cheeks are dryish.

sounds like it will be great for neck

madeamess, we probably pass each other every day Its really funny, how often I see mums this children, and wonder if they are a MNetter... Then they catch me looking at them in an odd way, half smiling, and probably think i'm a loon!

Bought mine yesterday, quite a lot of stock btw. Am a little worried about using on my fact, so have started off by using on my arms. Have a wedding to go to soon with sleeveless dress.

I'll try using it at night.

Honsetly scanner, It really is great to use on the face. I was thinking this morning as i applied it to my face... how after, it looks really glowing. This is definitely down to the really good massage I inadvertently do on my face, to rub it in.

You have to do it really thoroughly, to make sure its all covered, and rubbed in. If it is a really quick job, to rub it all in, you are probably using too much, and therefore it would be a bit greasy. Hope that makes sense?
