I use Decleor, swear by their products, they are a little more pricey than high street brands however for me they work, and buying the cheaper ones is a false economy. I use Decleor Hydra Floral Moisturiser it's around £34.00 for 50ml and lasts me around 3 months. It's great for my skin, as it needs hydrating and this is great.

Will have a think about that one Miss Pink. It's on the pricey side for me.

Helen,

I use Nivea sun Regenerating After Sun Balm with lotus extract. I swear by it. You can get it at Boots, Superdrug and sometimes you can get it BOGOF.

Hi Helen - Not long to go now!

Just wrote back to you and the letter disappeared in front of my eyes so here goes again.

I always take the Body Shop's Body Butter - Mango is for very dry skins but I prefer 'red' ones, i.e.
Strawberry or Cranberry but all their fragrances are ideal for what you want. Think they have a sale on at the moment.

I condense some into a small pot and put a small amount of Body Shop Simmering Body Lotion into a tiny pot - just to add a little sparkle in the evening.

I never take After Sun as that does it all!

Saying that, it can't be THAT good as I have used it for years and I am still not beautiful!!! (But I do have soft skin!!)

will have a look at those later in the week as well. I'm edging towards the nivea at the moment although I like the idea of a bit of shimmer. The sole reason being - I do like to wear perfume & find it sometimes gets lost in the fragrance of the body butters.

Try it with Angel perfume, Helen. Your Hubbie won't be able to keep his hands off you!!!!

I have got 1/2 tube of M&S shimmer aftersun from last year. I suppose I could mix & match. As we only have 15kgs I was hoping to buy nearly all my suncreams, toiletries etc in Gatwick airport, & not carry too much stuff with me. I think there's both a Boots & Bodyshop there.
Reply
Yes you are right Helen Gatwick Airport has both a Boots and Body Shop so no problems getting everything once past security.

blooming heck Suzie - its something to calm him down I need ;) :rofl

Just imagine your first evening in the Dominican - laying under the stars and all creamed up with Body Shop products.
Oh what a night!

Bet you are all getting excited about your holiday!

For those of you like myself who suffer with dry flaky lips try the following. Mix a teaspoon of granulated sugar with the smallest quantity of water to make a paste. Using an old toothbrush gently rub the paste into your lips to slough off the old skin. Rinse with water & finish with a thickish layer of vaseline. Result - soft smooth lips. Works a treat
