I have a question for everyone. Apart from the obvious soap, deodorant and toothpaste, what is a beauty product that you use the most, can’t get enough of, can’t live without?
Mine is rosehip oil. I’ve used it on my face for years and now I’m using it after shaving and for eczema. Love the stuff.
it’s still beer o’clock for the whole family in europe where you can buy “family beer”, it’s literally called family beer in the supermarket and comes in big bottles , it’s like 1% , probably healthier than cola
Generic brand Vitamin E cream with a sunscreen. Use it on face and body. Cheap, good and not at all greasy. I HAAAAATE wearing makeup, but this stuff I don’t feel at all like I’m wearing anything. Also cheap generic lanolin for dry skin on heels & elbows - slathered on at night and cotton socks over the top. I’ve had dry skin all my life and these two items have been gamechangers for me. Not so much as beauty as for comfort.
Either unscented moisturiser or face sunscreen/spf moisturiser.
But if I had to pick out of them all the answer is probably spf moisturiser tbh
From like age 18 to when it was reformulated to sting and then discontinued I just kept buying the same spf15 Nivea tube and used it every single day even if using nothing else.
For a while dry shampoo was popular too until scent was an issue and I found out about the benzene thing
A decent hand cream. I wash and sanitize my hands all day and frequently change food handling gloves and they get so dry! I’m not fussy about the brand, but it has to readily absorb and smell gorgeous because it gives me a brief aromatherapeutic mood boost. At the end of the day before I walk out the door I slather it on my hands and walk out of work rubbing it in. ATM I’ve got Ovidia next to the bed and Freshwater Farm in my work bag. Also paw paw ointment for the lips and occasional cuticle application.

I’d say… Beer 🍻 🍺
Fun fact. In the 1800’s water was contaminated because fish fuck in it so from the moment you woke up it was beer o’clock for the whole family.
Small beer - <1% alky. Basically barley kombucha.

Oh wow. Slap a teat on the bottle and pass it to baby.
No wonder you’re so youthful I swore there was a secret.
My course costs 1 x 6 pack per hour

Lanolin is so nice and velvety. I also have dry skin and during winter I use the heavy duty Nivea creme.
lanolin is so good for skin, it’s the closest thing to our natural skin oils, that’s why it’s so good
Me and Miss Seagoon buy the six packs of lanolin from vic market, we give a lot away to friends and fam overseas and use it ourselves too
A decent lip balm, as otherwise I’m prone to cracked lips. My go to is the standard Palmers Cocoa Butter.
Salt ocean water cold swims… no shower.
Free too.

I had to check my bathroom to see. Revlon sheer tinted lip balm lipstick. Have some in my handbag too. Light pink and a very light coral.
Also, hand wipes. I keep a pack in my handbag and use often.
