Thrifty and natural skin care

Before I had children and spare money, I used to love make up and cosmetics and spent far more than I should on them.   The result being that I have a terribly sensitive skin.

However, two things have happened since my boys were born, 1 I am much more careful with my money and secondly I want to use natural and paraben free products.  These two things do not sit naturally side by side and for years I have struggled to find products that suit me.  Until now..



I was recently introduced to amie skincare, they are not only natural, but they are also much less expensive than other "natural" products.

I have been using spring clean clay mask (£4.99) on my spot ridden chin (I think it is down to being very run down) and it is making a difference and I am not having any reaction. It smells divine and really seems to be gentle on my skin but really effective at drawing out the impurities.

Aime Bright Eyes is their eye make up remover and since having my eyes lasered they have been really sore and dry, but this doesn't sting and it really does remove any eye make up I have been wearing.

I have also been testing Morning Dew, which is a matte-finish moisturiser.  Perfect for me as I tend not to wear make up.  It is again under £5 and you get 100ml for that.  Not only has it left my skin really soft, but it is free from mineral oils, parabens and sulfates.

What skin care products do you buy and how much do you spend?

Dumping the tumble dryer and Ecoforce giveaway

We have a tumble dryer, but it broke before christmas and we  couldn't afford to get it repaired, so I have been managing with an old fashioned wooden clothes rail and hanging bedding over the doors to dry, This last would of weeks however, I have been hanging the washing outside and it has been drying much quicker and with less creases, so I am going to take the plunge and instead of getting the dryer replaced I am going to give it away. Ecoforce heard me on twitter bemoaning the fact that I was chasing laundry round the garden as my pegs were not working and very kindly sent me some of their Ecoforce pegs to try and they have been fab.
