I use Nivea Soft in a tube, as you dont get dirty fingers in the pot. Not that I dont wash them.

I am allergic to Lanolin, and have had the most horrendous rash on my body, due to warm weather.I used E45 on my body, but think it may have lanolin in it, as they were getting no better. Now use acqueous cream, also switched from baby soap for my body to the good old fashion Wrights Coal Tar Soap, which my cousin's wife recommended. Spots all going now.

Thank goodness, as I looked like a bear scratching my back against chairs.

I use anything and everything, never have had the money to go mad but am lucky that my genes give me reasonable skin. Superdrug do a good vitamin e cream which I have used in the past and it works well.

At 73, and with a skin most people say is excellent. Have always used any cheap moisturiser, more often than not it is sensative baby lotion. I am trying Simple rich moisturiser at moment, but I think a gentle soap helps, not too much face washing either. It doesnt need scrubbing. Suffer from skin allergies everywhere except face! Bought a longhandled applicator from Kleenezee to cream my back and find it effective. Jean

After years of trying everything, I now use the most basic of moisturisers with SPF 15.. it does the job.and very cheap it is too! lolBC XX

Boots own brand in a little pot.....cheap'n cheerful & does the job!

I only buy Regentiv cosmetics, I love them there natural and not tested on animals.
You can only buy them on line or you can order by phone.
there not cheap but they are fantastic products:-))

Lol Chris...........I have no idea as I don't use the stuff at all..........perhaps if you google the Aldi face cream the ingrediants might be listed ?.......good luck :)

Thanks Amanda for the nudge but still don't know after reading thread! I bought the Balancing Day cream with with vitamin E and avocado and Energising with papaya and vitamins B5 and E. Which or both are magic??????

Thanks

I never wash my face. I use baby wipes instead. They work fine.

Absolutely agree, Margaret, my mother had fairly good skin, wasn't too wrinkly even at 79 when she died, and I am lucky enough to take after her.

If you want good skin choose the right parents:)))))

Thanks Jackie.

I call them "ugly creams"

There all the same,its just the way its advertised.
I was told by a dermatologist that drinking water is the best beauty treatment.
You can use all the face creams in the world but it wont help unless your diet is good and you hydrate your body from the inside.

Dee, why aren't you suppose to use Nivea soap on your face, or do you just mean soap in general?

I use a Morphy Richards iron,,,,,,,,,)))
