Isn't it exciting when you re-remember something you already have when you needed it. I slather my hands in cream many times per day. I'm hoping to keep them young.Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-16476057557089679792010-08-09T04:36:11.638+12:002010-08-09T04:36:11.638+12:00You've reminded me of something I have tucked ...You've reminded me of something I have tucked away in a cupboard, an exfoliator for the hands that my son bought me for mother's day. It's a really good product, and I've used about half of it, but it got put in a cupboard and I forgot about it.<br /><br />While I believe it's important to exfoliate and moisturize the face and body, which I've been trying to do, I believe it's the hands that give away our age before anything else.<br /><br />So this afternoon I think I'll dig out that exfoliator and give myself a nice manicure. Thanks for the reminder!<br /><br />windsor--rose.blogspot.comJacquiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580912233349212417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-31693606855488567002010-08-06T21:33:01.618+12:002010-08-06T21:33:01.618+12:00Regarding body exfoliation, I highly recommend Der...Regarding body exfoliation, I highly recommend Dermalogica's 'The Ultimate Buffing Cloth'. If you like lotions and potions then it may not be for you, but I personally love it and find it works wonders, and the cloth seems to last forever. At first I thought NZ$40 was a lot for something that looks like a piece of bath cleaner fabric, but I haven't looked back and can't imagine how much I would have spent on exfoliants otherwise.<br /><br />Apricot kernel oil makes a lovely body moisturiser too, and you can always add some essential oils to it. <br /><br />It gets exhausting reading labels, so buying a pure oil (that works) makes life so much easier!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06148635013066682907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-78384564789018946132010-08-06T13:18:02.932+12:002010-08-06T13:18:02.932+12:00Janet, thank you for the offer.

I definitely read labels when I'm purchasing (and buying organic skincare sometimes) but will continue to use up what I've got. Surely finishing up a bottle can't hurt me... can it?<br /><br />Stephanie, I love your idea of using up unwanted facial products on your body. I have a few items I can think of that I will be doing just that with.<br /><br />M, moisturing your feet at night sounds so luxurious. I already do hands, wrists and decolletage, but feet would be nice too. I occasionally rub lavender oil into the soles, it's meant to seep up and help you sleep.<br /><br />Kamani, thanks for dropping by. I love your Project 3-Pan idea.<br /><br />Jessica, thanks for the product info. I'll have to see if it's available here in New Zealand.Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-18872800912442207472010-08-06T06:49:42.332+12:002010-08-06T06:49:42.332+12:00I use ChiQui Beaute Mud to Go facial mud masks and...I use ChiQui Beaute Mud to Go facial mud masks and I love them! The cool thing about these masks is that they come in travel-sized portions so they always stay fresh and are available whenever you need them. And they're paraben-free and preservative-free so they won't harm your skin. I love using these masks because there are two types of masks that target two different problems: Clogged pores (Purifying mask) and hyperpigmentation (Lightening mask). I used to have pimples on my forehead and around my chin, but after using the Purifying mask for almost two months, I can see a huge difference in my skin. I don't breakout as much and my skin doesn't produce as much oil. The Lightening mask faded my old acne scars, especially the ones on my forehead. After using the Purifying mask, I like using their Hydrating sheet mask, which moisturizes my skin for 24 hours. It's like an at-home facial without the huge pricetag. These masks really work! I recommended them to my friends and they love it as well. Their website is http://chiquibeaute.com. I used the coupon code "J10DOLLAROFF" and got $10 off my purchase! P.S. If you request a sample from them, they will send you one! Hope this helps! :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887881789947747887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-17243973572045336402010-08-06T05:18:15.053+12:002010-08-06T05:18:15.053+12:00This is a great reminder that we don't need a ...This is a great reminder that we don't need a fancy spa to feel relaxed and take care of ourselves. Although it's nice to do every once in a while. I really liked the rose meditation. I'll have to check out that book.

My skin is less dry and more in the normal range. I love one minute manicure! I may try to make my own with sugar, almond oil and a little essential oil. I don't do that now because I simply do not have the product. In the meantime I'm going to mix up a sample of body oil that I have along with another sample of an exfoliator that is too rough for my face. I'm glad I have a purpose for them now. <br /><br />I like your visual of Sabine not sitting around watching tv. It's a great motivator!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289348366926684135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-24023069519082370152010-08-05T11:29:48.188+12:002010-08-05T11:29:48.188+12:00Fiona,

I'm great about getting to my face and neck, but the rest of me needs some attention! <br /><br />I've been thinking a lot about some of the products I use. But lotions and liquid soaps I buy at the supermarket or drug store are full of things I can't pronounce. What am I rubbing on my skin? Parisienne Farmgirl's blog last week about 10 things you can do to be healthier really opened my eyes. Since then I've been reading more labels and freaking myself out. <br />I ordered a book yesterday that I read about online somewhere (can't remember) called "No More Dirty Looks" about the cosmetic industry and all the chemicals and such they put into their products. <br />I'm excited to read it, but I'm a little worried I'll be throwing lots of stuff away. I'll start with a cheap purchase though, and get some baking soda to exfoliate my body! That will be my first chic habit.<br /><br />Adrienne <br /><br /><br />AdrienneAdrienne Shubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826463555838820028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-64327217505053612522010-08-05T09:19:02.473+12:002010-08-05T09:19:02.473+12:00dear fiona,
