I tried other makes, but to be honest nothing compared and it turned out false economy. I put my Estee lauder "slap" on at 7am and it still looks reasonable (in my opinion [:D]) at 5pm.

I also get a lot of freebies, so probably doesn't work out anymore expensive than other makes.

Bath stuff, I'll use anything & everything. [:)]

I just do cream so my face isn't dry, also my legs. Anything else I don't do.

Same here Julie - at the moment I'm using Treacle Moon shower gel from Tesco (smells lovely and loads of varieties!) and I always use Palmers Cocoa Butter body lotion.

I some free samples when I bought the Clinique stuff which will keep me going for a while.

I'm lucky with my skin, don't suffer from dryness at all...thats prob because I use so much moisturising bath creams etc [:D]

I use hand cream a lot as I know working in an office environment can dry out the skin.

Handcream is the one thing I don't use enough of.

No problem with my hands (probably due to not washing up!) Only certain areas on my face. Legs get dry as they have no hair - years of having my legs waxed.

Oh you should use it Skip, - I use it about 3 times a day. Rub into your hands and rub the excess into your elbows.

I also use lip salve a lot - the air conditioning in the car would wreak havoc otherwise [:)]

I've always got some with me, I just never remember to use it.

I try and remember to use lip balm and I usually buy Vaseline from the baby section in Tesco as it's cheaper than Vaseline from the beauty section!

Rarely use the air con. Just use lip salve at night.

Shower gel is Avon, can't remember the last time I had a bath.

I know you love them Julie.

[:D] Jan...did reduce to 2 baths a day a few weeks ago, but had 4 already today [:D]

I use the "huge" tub of vaseline for my lips. It doesn't look pretty, but its cheaper than the compact handbag size.

I use aircon in my car and heaters in the winter - I know the "direct hit" could affect my lips, hence the lipsalve.

I do have the heater on in the winter but just put the window down in the summer.

I've got Avon (surprise, surprise!) lip stuff.

Just had a shower this morning and that was it until tomorrow morning when I will have another one.

Most of my driving is motorway so its cheaper to use air con than open windows.

I love my early morning power shower but still have my baths.[:)]

Don't do motorways as it's just 20 minutes through an area of outstanding natural beauty. Just have to watch out for rabbits, deer and badgers!

Lucky you [:)]

I'm lucky to live in the most beautiful area God created( According to me [:D]) but workwise, I use the motorway for speed and countdown the junctions and ignore the "non scenery".
