    I use sanex shower gel and pure shea butter as a moisturiser, my skin is so dry now, I have olive skin and it used to be soft and supple but not anymore, I wish I hadn’t taken it for granted x

    I’ve been using virgin coconut oil, the solid in a jar. It’s not greasy and smells really good plus no scary parabans, etc.

    A bath with quick cooking oatmeal in a sock.  That ewe gooey goodness soothes everything with a rub all over the skin after the sock gets wet and soggy.  Don't rinse...pat dry.

    Another one that works but not quite as well fo me is 2 cups or more of vinegar in a bath.  Balances skin ph and also helps with any issues "down there"  Like odours.  Temporarily.  For a better fix for down there odours drink pineapple juice every day.
