What recommendations did you get from Mumsnet that actually work? I’ll go first

[cosietea]

I hardly post in this topic but read it frequently and thought it would be interesting to see what recommendations you got from here that turned out to be great. I always prefer to come here instead of reading reviews that could be paid for. These are the two I’m forever grateful for

Ancient & Brave true collagen- seeing results after 5 months, will continue

Dermatica- completely eradicated acne that I had for 30 years and tried every blood cream and diet going!

Retinol at night . I use The Ordinary one in squaline and have no irritation. Must follow with high spf next day.

I find the material too thick and they roll down all the time.

Can you explain more about this please?

Oh gawd am I on the wrong thread again?

Tretinoin, THE Uniqlo bag, and Kerastase hair serum.

@notnorman - dyou mind if I ask if you used Hair + Me for particular a hair condition(s), or just to improve general hair health? And, either way, what kind of results did you get? I've got hairloss and had been weighing up signing up, would be great to get some honest insight

How do you make this? Sounds fab

@jeansgenie - I use Skin&Me. I said I wanted to address hyperpigmentation and the formula they sent me sorted it out within a month or so.

Wrong thread . It’s a cleaning product not a beauty one. Sorry!
If you realised that it’s Nancy Birtwhistle’s recipe.

I’ve been lured in by everyone’s recommendations and ordered dermatica.

Waitrose Camomile Soap - cheap as chips and nice subtle fragrance

Korean Italy cloths to scrub off all that dry skin in the bath , but as I never have a bath ( that sounds bad ! I use the shoer ) I bought some long scrubby cloths that I can either roll up into a square or hold both ends and do my back easily .

I ordered dermatica then cancelled my subscription after nearly a month of waiting for them to dispatch my first order. Useless!!

The TU no VPL lace top low rise knicker shorts were recommended on here and they were the best knickers in the whole world!

For some unfathomable reason, TU decided to stop making them and I can't find anything that is anywhere near as good! Wish I'd bought 5 packs when they still made them!

Uncouth is another skin prescription service, I prefer their formula to skin & me. Haven't tried dermatica.

I love the plamer's cocoa butter retexture moisturiser (the orange one). It's cheap, absorbs really quickly and makes my skin less bumpy.

Another mumsnet recommendation I use daily is the loreal skin tint.

Which styler is it please? I'm in need of one 😁

Which revlon hair styler

Which revlon hair styler

Oooh love the idea of protein powder and fruit to make an Icecream but need to ask do you have to mix the powder with a little liquid before adding?

Try blending frozen banana . You have to eat it quick but it’s delish! You could add a dollop of Greek yoghurt for protein.

@TheDutchHouseadd only a splash of milk or water because the frozen fruits already contain water. If using egg white, no need for other liquid. You need a good blender.

Ah! Thanks , just looked it up, but where can I get citric acid from?

Also to add that my dermatica prescription also for rid of hyperpigmentation even though I was only focussed on the acne. A nice bonus!

Sweaty Betty Gary yoga pants. I mean it’s typical they don’t make them anymore but I found them in the outlet and loved them so much I went back for a second pair. I’ve lived in them at home over the summer.

A dyson airwrap has been the best thing ever! So glad I bought one, my hair is less drizzy and has actually started to grow! Think it's because it's less hot and damaging.

@SunsetIceCream@yellowcupofhappy

This is the one I bought. I was sceptical as it’s not an expensive styling product but it works really well for me, grips well and doesn’t tangle.
