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

...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.

Ok, I'm about to go and get some of this now. Are you guys really really sure it works?

FriedGreenTomatoes · 02/03/2008 14:15

Definitely Bumper - you will wonder how you lived without it. And all your friends will be jealous of your youthfulness. (Someone assumed I was 19 the other day! )

Just raided DS's cupboard to try this out tonight on my face and see what all the fuss is about.

Hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow a different woman !

Its a firm family favourite in our house (previously only on bottoms tho..) but who knows that could all change.

Its sold in John Lewis too if that helps anyone not close to a waitrose (sorry not read all the thread if this has been mentioned).

susiecutiemincepies · 02/03/2008 23:21

Hiya Katwith3 >

It has been a real fav' in our house too, on botties first. I can honestly say, Isobel has only had a nappy rash once maybe twice, and it was due to thrush post anti biotics. She has bottom butter applied every nappy change, and has never been sore. Its the best stuff ever!

It will become a fav for your other cheeks soon too, trust me

Ooo, I love that i've found such a brilliantly cheap fantastic results cream, without spending a small fortune on it! ( shame I did spend a small fortune on all the clarins stuff before I found this worked... )

Good luck all who try the bottie butter.

jezzemx · 03/03/2008 14:58

Bought mine today. It really does smell like kinder surprise eggs!!! I've had instant results on my hands and will use it on my face tonight. Thanks for sharing it with us x

AlistairSim · 03/03/2008 15:26

Just seen this!

Been using this for a while on all dry areas and on face, really does work as long as you only use the tiniest amount.

If you like the idea of using olive oil but balk at butt cream, there is a Japanese company called DHC that does an olive oil moisturiser that is just oil.
If you go to their website I think you can get free samples.

scanner · 03/03/2008 18:15

Can someone give me the idiots guide to how to apply please? Slightly damp skin or totally dry etc etc.

cheeryface · 03/03/2008 18:45

damn i really want to try this now but there isn't anywhere close enough to me
i doubt they would let me order just a tub of bum cream online would they?

BumperliciousNeedsaGlassofWine · 03/03/2008 19:42

Cheeryface I could get you some when I go to get mine (sometime this week).

cheeryface · 03/03/2008 21:50

BumperliciousNeedsaGlassofWine · 03/03/2008 22:08

Ok, I will try and go tomorrow or weds. Anyone else want any while I am there?

Email me at bumperlicious . mn a t h o t m a i l . c o . u k (hope that makes sense!)

susiecutiemincepies · 03/03/2008 22:53

scanner I applie to just washed skin.
I dry it well first tbh...

Then I swipe my finger over the top of the butter, slightly applying a bit of pressure but not much.

Enough to get some on your finger, but again, only a small amount to start with.

You can judge it as you apply it to your face. I rub it into my forehead first then cheeks, then chin.

I'd say that the amount I get on my finger is probably about 2mm thick and about the size of a thumbnail ? hard to describe... basically the least the better.

you can always apply more if its not enough! Just apply it until you feel you have covered all your face evenly, and that it is rubbing in easily.

I put extra on, at night, around the outer edges of my eyes and forehead, for the fine lines I have really truly noticed a difference in them .

Hope that helps you a leeeetle bit

SisterSputnik · 04/03/2008 12:28

Well, I tried this last night and definitely had nice soft skin this morning. My skin is combination but there was no greasyness on the bits I would've expected to feel greasy IYSWIM. Might be a bit too heavy for daytime, but maybe I'll give it a go.

Funny, we've always had this stuff around and I have used it before on my body. DD, who is 3, always used to insist on having it on her face, I should've followed her lead

BumperliciousNeedsaGlassofWine · 04/03/2008 20:24

Sputnik, you live abroad, how the fuck do you have a pot when people in the bloody UK can't get it?

Cheeryface, I got a pot today will try and send tomorrow or thurs.

I also got a spare that I can send if anyone is having difficulty getting it.

Moomin · 04/03/2008 20:29

Yes please, Bumper! Are you sure? Haven't got a Waitrose for 6-8 miles and when i actually went to one, it was sold out.

BumperliciousNeedsaGlassofWine · 04/03/2008 20:34

Sold to moomin!

Email me your address to the email below.

Moomin · 04/03/2008 20:40

Have done so. Am excited and feel younger and more glowtastic already

MrsSeanSlater · 04/03/2008 20:54

I tried to buy this cream today and it was sold out. Word has obviously got out!

SisterSputnik · 04/03/2008 21:01

Ha Bumper, there is a Waitrose where my Mum lives and I stock up!

susiecutiemincepies · 04/03/2008 21:02

Probably not Mrsseanslaer, I have been using it on my DD's bottie cheeks since she was born, and when I went to replace it last year they didn't have stock for weeks and weeks... I don't think they usually sell a huge amount! they'll be restocking more often now, if word gets to them!
