Clip in hair extensions, just one either side of my face, completely undetectable and adds a surprising amount of volume to my hair,

I second CSS foot cream. Also discovered it works wonders on my shins if they're a bit dry (found after wiping off excess from my hands after applying to my feet).

Clinique Moisture Surge - I really love the texture of it and have never come across anything else that feels so light

Beauty of Joseon sunscreen

I will be trying both, heard about the sun screen before. I can only use LPR, everything else stings, so curious to try.

I love these threads.

Simple over the counter health products:
UTI pro plus for preventing UTIs is a game changer.
Also taking L-Lysene for cold sores.
Both really sorted me out post partum.

Polar haircare wash in hairdye For my grey strands.

GameOfJones · 25/10/2026 07:17

Rituals body lotion mousse which means I actually lotion after every shower as it sinks in so quickly.

ELF tubing mascara which does not budge.

Keratin hair straightening treatments every six months.

Erborian CC cream.

Do you have a link please?

I use these, they cone in sheets and I don’t need that much, so I just cut it down between each clip, so each one is singular, snd then I can rotate and then have so many they can last for ages, I have long hair,

plenty Do singular ones but the cost is very high for two pieces in comparison to this,

Oh one more, Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream. Use it on your chest, you know you see lots of ladies with wrinkly chests, use this, it clears it up totally , mine is a smooth as anything and was quite wrinkly.

when you first start do it nightly, then when your chest is smooth, do it weekly.

it also works on heels, mine are now soft and they were dry and cracked,

Bellu · 25/10/2026 08:37

I basically get all my best things from here

Tret, for sure, though I've now progressed to trifarotene 💅
Hypochlorus acid is my latest find
Nivea blue tin, probably 10+ years ago now!
Korean Italy towels
Cleaning my face with a hot clean flannel and any lotion, it's all my skin wants
Color Wow dreamcoat and Revlon One Step
Those flat claw clips you can lie on
The Ordinary glycolic acid in the big bottle

It’s a shame they don’t do the body mousse in the Rituals Jing scent.
Jing is gorgeous.

FlossieKirkpatrick · 25/10/2026 09:45

Solgar Omnium vitamins. Don’t know what it is but I feel sooo good when I take these regularly.

SisterTeatime · 25/10/2026 09:55

MooGoo shampoo and conditioner.

GrimDamnFanjo · 25/10/2026 13:34

Cerave factor 50 moisturiser, beauty of Joseon moisturiser, magnesium bath salts.

BigSkies2022 · 25/10/2026 15:07

Weight training. Nothing fancy, just adjustable dumbells at home and a couple of YouTubers I follow.

In the same vein, home ballet barre and mobility drills. Together these have sorted out my feet, knee and hip pain, and my weight management and body fat/muscle composition is better. I'm hoping this will deliver on promises of longevity and healthspan!
Lightweight SPF50 sunscreens that are genuinely non-sticky and which you can wear under make-up - LRP, Purito, Biore, Heliocare, any of that ilk.

MooGoo shampoo and conditioner.

Was just about to post this. Utterly amazing stuff. Totally cured my dry, itchy, eczema scalp. Plus, means I can shampoo in the shower as other shampoos set off the eczema elsewhere on my body. Love it.

whatareyoudoinginhereMax · 25/10/2026 15:19

Beauty of Josean spf moisturiser and green plum gel cleanser.
