With you on that. I have never had any issues with a physical scrub. The chemical ones just hurt my skin.

If you can find it, try a kojac sponge. It's gentle enough not to injure facial skin, but by god does it make a difference! But be sure to really soak it in hot water before you use it and to change it out regularely. I've been using one for three months now and my skin has gotten loads better, used to have a lot of whiteheads but my skin didn't like chemical exfoliants.
Iron is really hard to absorb (even if you have a textbook-perfect digestive system) and Vit C has been scientifically proven to help, so this is a good one to keep up with!
Sorry to hear you're not feeling your best right nowRight everyone, not even sure if this is the right place but feck it. What’s everyone doing to stave off this lurgy? My partner just said I’m “always ill” and tbh, he’s got a point. I’ve had a chesty cough for days, permanently runny nose, sore body and just feel under the weather. I take iron, zinc, vit d and have a relatively healthy diet (ignore the daily white cremeegg).
how does everyone stay HEALTHY?! my immune system is shot to tit.
I also have two young kids which won’t help
I think the winter darkness gets to all of us and makes it worse.For the permanently runny nose, I'd check whether it's not an allergy of some type. During winter it's normal for many people to have a runny nose when coming in from the cold as well, so that might be it, but dust allergies and similar are non-seasonal. FWIW, maybe try to get a check-up with a doctor, just to rule out any deficiency.
Second this I take my iron tablet with orange juice. My sons dietician told me when I give him his liquid iron to give it him with a fruit juice preferably orange.
I'm in the same boat now having felt like shite almost constantly since before Christmas- I've had every bug that's going except covid!
Just re runny nose, a daily antihistamine (taken at night if it's a drowsy formula) can help if it's caused or exacerbated by an allergen.
Got an event for work coming up soon.
What the duck do people wear to these things?!
What the duck do people wear to these things?!
What type of event?
Black suit or black skirt, top and blazer should suffice.
Some wide leg black trousers and a nice shirt. Pair it with some chunky but comfy shoes and a nice blazer.
Smart casual. Black suit or trouser type look feels too much, they don't even wear that at head office in working hours but I'm lost beyond that really
Smart-casual can be difficult for an event. One piece of parental advice I've always found works in these situations is, it's better to be a little too formal than a little too casual. I'd go for a jumpsuit with long blazer and some ankle boots. A summer jumpsuit can work well with a turtleneck under it to keep warm - this sort of look (imagine with ankle boots rather than brogues):
I thought so too before I tried myself (seeing how great a colleague looked dressed like this gave me the inspiration) - give it a try if you can, see how you feel in it.Oh that's lovely and very smart.
I'd never pull it off
Things to avoid.
Straight knee length skirts that look good when standing up but can ride up and look too short when sitting down.
Long skirts that trail on the floor when sitting down, someone is bound to stand on it.
Nothing with big sleeves that can catch on things.
Wear something with pockets so you can stash a handkerchief or a sweet to stop you coughing
Hi all, long time lurker but first time poster here, glad I've found this thread, hoping you can help! My skin was very irritated years ago after a reaction to a skin cleanser, and has never been the same since. I feel very self conscious without make up and would love to be able to find something to make the redness go and improve the skin tone. Any ideas and help would be hugely appreciated! Thank you
I think I'm just going to get a slip style dress on. I can't be arsed now I know there's no booze available
Rosalique works for me.
It calms the redness and improves the skin.
This is good @GinBunny18 but expensive. Comes in a small sample tube which is still expensive.

And excess dairy can inhibit iron absorption - my daughter had acute anaemia for a while. Its a long road to recover to normal levels.
