I have just discovered the secret to gorgeous, glowing, smooth, plumped up skin on my face.......

[FriedGreenTomatoes]

...and it is Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter!

I can't even remember what made me put it on my face one day but OMG - it is fab. I have been using it constantly for 2 weeks now and my skin now has the smoothest texture, which I don't think it's had since pre-pubescence. And it makes my foundation look super dewy and youthful too. It is SO much better than all the expensive face creams I have tried - including Creme de la Mer.

Would post more, but I am off to camp outside Waitrose.

I love recommendations like this. how old are you if you dont' mind me asking and what type of skin do you have?

[Washersaurus]

I shall be nipping into DS1's room to steal his tub in the morning . At this point anything is worth a try...

[BumperliciousIsOneHotMother]

It hasn't given you spots or anything?

[PanicPants]

I tried the aldi cream which was supposed to be wonderful, equivalent to £50 pots.

It was rubbish, and after 2 weeks I have spots under my skin, and the texture feels horrible.

So no spots with baby bottom butter?

[FriedGreenTomatoes]

WC - I am 32. My skin is combination - mixture of oily in some places but very dry in others. Well it was until I started using the Bottom Butter. Now it is all plump and glowing and totally hydrated.

And no Bumper, it hasn't given me spots. In fact, as I no longer need to use foundation (cos skin is so great) then less likelihood of clogged pores causing spots!

looks like a case of my (babies) arse your face (cream) - seriously though is it greasy?

When I got married about 10 years ago I had a clinique facial and loads of samples. One face cream was fab, it sort of heated up when you put it on then turned my skin really smooth. i went back and asked what it was and could I have a larger size, where I was met with a smirk of 'that madame is cellulite cream for your legs'

[expatinscotland]

yeah, what's his office's number? does he offer a payment plan for the surgical procedures?

[FriedGreenTomatoes]

You only need a small amount - about a thumb nail size blob - so a tub would last AGES.

[Furball]

expat - the right thread??

[TheHonEnid]

I refuse to believe it doesnt give one spots

[BumperliciousIsOneHotMother]

Apparently slebs use hemorrhoid cream to prevent wrinkles...

[FriedGreenTomatoes]

Furball - I think if you used too much it could feel a bit greasy. But start with a small amount then see if it is enough for you.

LOL at the cellulite cream on your face

[Furball]

well fortunately it's not going to break the bank tp find out

[expatinscotland]

yes, because the only 'secret' to good skin after a certain age is a good cosmetic surgeon .

[Heated]

Tempted to nip upstairs and find out!

[Furball]

sorry expat - I get you now!

[FriedGreenTomatoes]

I tried the piles cream (Anusol) on my bags after a night out drinking. Just made my eyes itch like buggery and ooze stuff out of them the next day !!

[BumperliciousIsOneHotMother]

Ah, I knew there was something about it...

[expatinscotland]

FGT, next time, soak some green tea bags, then pop them in the fridge till cool and ptu those over your eyes for a few minutes.

Then drop some Optrex refreshing drops in your eyes.

No one will be the wiser!

[FriedGreenTomatoes]

Expat - that certainly sounds better. Anusol was all I had to hand at the time as I was in a hotel on a training course for work. I thought it would disguise the puffy eyes from too much boozing and not enough sleep. But alas, it just made me look even more booze addled than before!

[expatinscotland]

don't worry, i've made the same mistake, FGT .

with an american pile creme called Preparation H.

luckily it was not a workday and it was back when i was still childless.

[expatinscotland]

i'm never without eye drops for such occassions!

if you don't have any green tea bags, i can't remember how makes them, i think it might be guerlin, i need to check, but someone makes these disc-shaped pads in a jar made to deal with puffy eyes like that and according to friends they really work.
