) for years and it's great stuff. Really notice a difference when I run out (it's not available in HK) Her moisturisers are very good too, and I can't speak for the toners cos I don't tone, much to the FURY of shop assistants that I mention it to 
and am not too keen so far, it feels nice on but I think it's too claggy for my skin as I've had more spots since using it. That said, that could also be the effects of hormones.
I am the same. I only wash my face in the bath with a clean and clear facial scrub (every other day).
I too use face wipes in-between to remove any make up I might be wearing but if I only have mascara on then I usually sleep in it
I do moisturise well whenever I wash or use wipes. I use Body Shop Vitamin E stuff and I really love it. Light, not greasy but really soaks in to the skin well,
Also i find I scar and and don't heal very easily from spots etc so the vitamin E really helps. I notice the difference in that when I use something different if I run out.
But I will be following whatever advice you get gaijingirl as I do really need to start taking better care of my skin but it has to be easy (and not to expensive) or I am just not going to do it.
In not sure off the top of my head but do have a link somewhere to ingredients of different moisturisers for dry skins, so can compare between ones which make me red and itch and ones that are ok.
I've use Simple before as a hot cloth cleanser (the creamy one. Foaming cleansers are to be avoided IMHO). La Roche Posay (stocked in Boots) does a sensitive skin range called Toleriane and I've always liked their stuff. A neutral oil might be ok and not spendy either?
I think because the water is too hot. Hot flannel or muslin is the way to go.They do have a cleanser, I could try that instead of the facial wash?and I'm pretty safe with base oils, but might wait and see what the docs say about my face.
Serum interests me though.
Oh, I missed why you shouldn't wash your face in the shower?
You're winning the battle already thenI am pale as anything and never ever go in the sun.
I walk around under an umbrella ALL summer
My foundation has an SPF but tbh even with winter sun I am always faced away from it.
Sun worshipper I am not.
Forgot my other budget beauty tip - get a cheap refillable spray bottle from Muji or Superdrug and fill it with culinary grade rosewater. Add a few drops of glycerin and shake. Hey presto! Rosewater toner. I spritz it on my face after cleansing and before serum etc. smells gorgeous and adds another layer of moisture.
God, I sound like a wanker.
so am I then!
You might be but at least your enjoying and living life
I am a TERRIBLE dawdler though. I always mean to get in the shower, quick scrub and out, and then I go off on a daydream, take for bloody ever, and make myself late again 
I'm totally converted to brown. I bought a black for going out, but honestly I prefer the brown for always. It's YSL 'faux cils' waterproof. I've used the same mascara (just switched to waterproof though, because it was sliding off me) for 10 years, so I've no idea what else is goodI am thinking I might try a switch to brown mascara for normal/day wear.
As i said I am quite pale and my hair is getting lighter as I am getting older (as in less red).
My eye brows and lashes used to be white but they are more transparent now
I wear a brown pencil eyeliner sometimes and when I pencil my eyebrows a bit that is a light brown colour.
Seems to make sense.
Rebelda what one do you use?
I just googled this and discovered that I recommended it on the first page of this thread!Annnnd - that No 7 Youthful Eye Serum is the dog's bollocks, and I have stoner bags so it must be bloody good!
Haha did you?! I will have to read this thread in full. Having been a bit of a slob for years, I never really came in here, but now I'm an old bag in need of a refurb that seems to have changed

I use a decleor serum too (the neroli one) and by Jesus it's lovely. I don't use it all the time but it's one thin I don't like to run out of as it's a really good nourishing and balancing thing to have. I have substituted it for herbfarmacy's beauty balm which is also amazing and much much cheaper. Their stuff is really good quality and really effectiveLiz Earle brings me out in monster spots. It's quite bizarre as everyone else raves about it.
I have started using a decleor rose oil-serum a mate have me for Christmas and it's gorgeous. My skin is all plump and lovely.
Same mate bought me crayons- crayon eyeshadow, blusher and lipstick. It's brilliant, I just crayon my face in the morning
It's ok but I didn't repurchase, so probably not. Yet to find a moisturiser I love tbh.
