Interesting that the vast majority of the the reader recommendations in this month's Good Housekeeping poll of beauty products cost less than the magazine's recommendations.
It has long been proven that expensive lotions and potions don't do any more for the skin than moderately priced creams.
I have just started making my own creams, with base ingredients like cocoa butter, that cost little - then I add herbs or flowers from my own garden or economical essential oils, (not Sandalwood Ha! Ha! - Apprentice watchers) readers, reaching for the Nivea for less than £5.00 is just as good as coughing up £100 for Creme de la Mer.
Somehow we have to get ourselves out of the trap of thinking we need to 'treat' ourselves by giving all our hard earned dosh over to multi-nationals who specialise in brainwashing! Smell some Jasmine oil and see if that doesn't transport you to paradise!
