I also do dry face and no cloth. I love that stuff too.

I am currently loving the Ren vitamin C daily glow moisturiser (I think that’s the right name) and the Erborian CC cream which is brilliant.

[Ella77]

No cloth needed for me either, I just like putting it onto a dry face and leaving it for a few minutes before rinsing it off.

I’m glad you liked it, Pip! I do love a spritz.

The Ren face sunblock is great too actually. No white and it feels great on my face.

And S bought Kiehls shampoo and conditioner to bring on holiday and they are really really lovely. The amino acid ones. The smell is coconut and it’s just amazing.

I've just bought a solid shampoo and conditioner bar in an attempt to use less plastic. It's bound to be appalling.

I like the lush shampoo bars but find they strip colour and moisture from my hair. And I can't get on with the conditioner bars at all. But I love the idea of them - it's such a great idea.

We were in Lush yesterday, because Squeak live it so much, and I used being stalked around the store to my advantage (seriously, three assistants would not leave us alone). Anyway, I have always liked the Sakura bath bomb but can’t use them so I asked what else smells like it and one of them gave me a massive sample of a body scrub that smells divine. I will go back to buy it.

Lush assistants have to be the most annoying in retail.

I've been using these shampoo bars for a while now.

I found them much better than the lush ones I've tried which made my head go flaky.

Lush staff are awful, so annoying!

[Duophonic]

The lush shampoo bars made me so itchy and flaky

I might give one of these a try, thanks.

[Turtle Bean]

The lush ones made me itch too. The ones I ordered haven't arrived yet but I did order them from a Facebook as so they could well be dodgy.

Funky Soap are good.

S and I just used a sample of Kiehls calendula and aloe face mask and it is perfect for post beach skin. Love it.

[sally maclennane]

I bought myself Molton Brown Rhubarb & Rose shower/bath gel, it is so lovely! I had got the 3 for £25 deal from them a few months ago, and this was the one I liked best of the 3 (the others were Pink Peppercorn which I nearly went for in full size, and Sea Cypress which I liked but wasn't mad about).

Has anyone used The Organic Pharmacy products? I had a facial yesterday which used them and really loved it - lots of beautifully scented essential oils within the products.

[Luna]

I've looked at them when browsing the store but haven't bought any.. The facial sounds lush.

[nineseven]

I have! I really like the serum I bought but it was terrible value for money as just using a drop a day the bottle only lasted about one month.

[absley]

Oh, how completely rubbish, nine! It does remind me that she did use several pumps of most things so maybe that's an issue generally - I just assumed it was because I was v husk-like!

Luna - it was so lovely. There was a gorgeous rose oil she used for an arm/ hand massage, and I particularly liked the orange & grapefruit facial oil and the jasmine & honey mask.

[Luna]

Lovely! The rose oil arm massage sounds right up my street.
