Once a week a I cover my entire body in a combination of Nivea and cocoa butter that is 2mm thick. Nothing is missed. I burn a calming essential oil combination. I then wrap myself in cling wrap, I put towels over the ducted heating vents to warm them to twenty-four degrees....I quickly (well as quick as a plastic mummy can!) cover myself with them and pop a rug over myself whilst watching re-runs of episodes of Seinfeld, all the while drinking peppermint tea. I remain in place on the couch for one hour and fifteen minutes.

If someone arrives at my door during this 'me' time.....I tell 'em to "fawk off!".

I am joking....:D

Geez Kek..All I do is rub sorbolene over myself every day exfoliate a couple of times a week and occasionly I do a face and hand mask..I like the cocoa butter too use that sometimes..used to use oil burners regularly once but I got out of the habit like a lot of things I don't do any more.

Ok I shall tell you..
For years I have always put moisturiser on every morning, before make up, and every night after remove make up.
I use a combination of creams..every day without fail. Have done so since I was 18.

I have never been a moisturising kinda person.

I use Nuetrogena oil free spf30 moisturiser on my face every morning and thats it. Never used it anywhere else on my body - never felt the need for it.

I'm wondering if Boots is like Spotlight - they sell everything but what the name implies. :P

I ran out of my Hydriance from Avon and they have discontinued it. ;( So I'm giving the oil free Neutrogena a go while I choose something similar from Avon. I like their products because they don't feel heavy and greasy on my skin but having said that the Neutrogena isn't too bad either. But it's just not the same. :(

Once a week I'll get in the tub in a bath bomb of some sort and then moisturise afterwards. But then I discovered the Butterball ballistic from Lush and it does two in one, so I might just start doing that from now on. :hehe:

i moisturize my face after every shower. i wash my face though with regular face wash. my face gets clogged up a lot, so i try not to over due it. sometimes lotions or face washes do me more harm. i put lotion on my legs after every shave and do all of my body usually when i'm going out, etc.

I have only used cocnut oil or emu oil for the past 5 years or so, I like it because it's natural & is proven to actually sink into the skin. I use the coconut oil all over, 2 or 3 times a week on my face. Emu oil the other times. I also use coconut oil on my hair, only a small amount though, not so it looks greasy.

The emu oil is also good for aches & pains.

I moisturise morning and evening. I only use products that contain no petro-chemicals, like Natural Instinct, for example, and I don't believe in expensive products. When looking for products without petro-chemicals you have to look closely at the ingredients because a lot of so-called "natural" products contain parabens.

I know, its a real headache keeping ontop of all the label reading! Sometimes it gets a bit much and i just get whatever, like at the mo using the cocoa butter, but i do often check those things and just went back to using herbal coconut shampoo and conditioner with none of the dodge stuff in it. I even wonder sometimes if those chemicals are adding to skin cancers and that, i mean the skin is the largest organ on the body so is gonna absorb all those fillers and chemicals too.

During the winter I will scrub my body and then mosturise the whole thing afterwards maybe once a week and I put oil free moisturiser on my face after washing it in plain hot water (no soap or facewashes... makes my pimples worse)once a day but otherwise thats it. I have really oily skin so I don't really need it and to much I end up looking like the Exxon Valdes crashed on my forehead.
