Grooming and Hygiene
-
This pic was taken literally 5 minutes after getting my face waxed. PS…one thing I forgot to mention. "Makeup" is not in my vocab. I don't ever use makeup (except for lip balm -- if you consider that makeup). No foundation, no rouges, no perfume, no nothing -- except for Body Shop "Body Butter" lotion on my face.
-
wooahhh..big picture..but I guess you want to know if the waxing was successful…
I dare to post a before picture
Yeah, ur right - the work wonders at ur beauty parlor

i use soap (dove) and water to clean.
it happens everyday.
i would not say the same for my jeans though… hahaha
and lotion is a necessity! awwwww yeah! -
Loving the photos, and video clip - thanks for giving us a really good laugh today!
G not big on cosmetics and toiletries, he likes good old soap and water, and quite frankly is so unappreciative of luxury grooming products that I get quite upset when I see him liberally using my precious L'Occitane or Aveda shampoo!
Shubha, no wonder your skin is so great, you are doing all the right things. Sadly I'm nowhere near as healthy in my habits as you (blame G of course for being bad influence), and I do use lotions and potions and makeup to try to repair/cover up the damage. I feel guilty buying expensive stuff, so my three sisters and I use Christmas and birthdays as opportunities to re-stock each other. Family favourites are Clarins, Decleor, L'Occitane and Aveda. I also love Origins ginger body and bath stuff.
Giles uses E45 cream on his face (but I think would be equally happy using lard).
If I'm buying for myself then Body Shop stuff tops the list. Also we have L'Occitane and Molton Brown outlet stores nearby, so sometimes I treat myself to an expensive bargain!
Now I am on a mission to find some Dr Bronners soap to try.
Holiday treat - take L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil - it's lovely.
So there you go - I might not know anywhere near enough about denim (yet) but can wax lyrical about poncy potions!
-
Hee, hee - poor G, he'll probably throw me off the Forum soon!
Glad you're a fan of L'Occitane, I get some good deals at our local outlet store, will come stocked up when we next visit SF.
Just ordered some Dr Bronner soaps (citrus and peppermint) and body lotion (patchouli and lime - sounds gorgeous). Must try to use more natural products. These look super, thanks to you and Beatle for the double recommendation.

Paula - great purchase..you can use the liquid Dr. Bronners for everything..shower, dishes - and the bar sopa is perfect for hand washing ur jeans. I´m sure Giles will appreciate it as well….

Shoque - Bronners for life** Gonna have to try the liquid one day for a hand wash - I was always afraid cause it contains more "oil"

Clinque 2 step for me. First i use Liquid Soap then sweep with Scruffing Lotion 3.5. Afterwards it's Lab Series Daily Moisture Defence SPF 15 through the day and Night Recovery Lotion, unsuprisingly at night.
I also use: Lab Series Maximum Shave Comfort Shave Gel
Lab Series Purifying Clay Mask
Clinique Face Scrub
Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Scrub
Baxters Of California Under Eye Complex
Janina Diamond Toothpaste
Dentyl Ph Mouthwash.Have used 'products' of these sorts since my early twenties since i don't have much to work with i wany to keep what i've got looking as good as possible for as long as i can

When I wear an undershirt (during the winter), I use a Hugo Boss deo stick, as I use the same eau de toilette, so the smells don't clash. It's éxcellent deodorant. When it's warmer, I don't use anything.
Also, as posted in the other thread, only soap I use is:
-
My Dr Bronner's soaps and organic lotion arrived today - soaps (as yet unwrapped) smell delicious (one peppermint, one citrus orange). Had to try the Patchouli and Lime lotion, the scent is definitely more patchouli than lime - reminiscent of the 70s (can any of you remember that far back?) - lovely texture. So am looking forward to using… G will not be able to resist me... and vice versa....
Thank you for the recommendation!
