With you on that. I have never had any issues with a physical scrub. The chemical ones just hurt my skin.
With you on that. I have never had any issues with a physical scrub. The chemical ones just hurt my skin.It didn't really do much for me, there was eventually a bit of dead skin but i literally soaked myself in the bath for like 40 mins. Nothing crazy though, not different than any other exfoliants.
However, I tried it on my nose. I wouldn't recommend it as it's not meant for face ( I have the green one) but i just used it really gently around my nose which seemed to have a lot of dead skin on it and it did remove loads of it and left my nose smooth.
This made me buy a facial scrub. I've been avoiding physical exfoliation due to bad press it's been getting for years in the interest of chemical exfoliants. BHA and AHA never really worked for me, at best they didn't do anything, at worst they broke me out and dried my skin out.
My skin is so much better now after using the scrub! I'm just going to stick with physical exfoliation now, seems to work much better for me than acids.
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.It didn't really do much for me, there was eventually a bit of dead skin but i literally soaked myself in the bath for like 40 mins.

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!I take Vit D, iron and Vit C. Really think the vitamin c helps massively. Not only to help with iron absorption but to boost my immune system.
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 shit.
I also have two young kids which won’t help
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.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!
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!Right everyone, not even sure if this is the right place but feck it.

What type of event?Got an event for work coming up soon.
What the fuck do people wear to these things?!
Some wide leg black trousers and a nice shirt. Pair it with some chunky but comfy shoes and a nice blazer.Got an event for work coming up soon.

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 reallyWhat type of event?
Black suit or black skirt, top and blazer should suffice.
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):Smart casual.

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.Got an event for work coming up soon.

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 availableThings 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
Rosalique works for me.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
Just keep it simple like this: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
And excess dairy can inhibit iron absorption - my daughter had acute anaemia for a while. Its a long road to recover to normal levels.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.
