I feel rather appalled at my low maintenance beauty care here.


Don't worry mine is about the same.

I'm even quick showering, I used to live in a student house where you needed to put 50 Pfennig in a box to get hot water for the shower. You better be quick before it runs out and gets cold.

My experience with quick showers is much the same. In basic training for the Marines, you had to shower fast before the hot water ran out. When you have 60 people in your platoon showering at the same time, hot water goes fast. I was usually in and out in less than two minutes and that was a very thorough shower. I take long ones now when I can, but if I gotta go, I can still hit the two minute mark and be completely clean. That is, if I don't wash my hair which I didn't have in basic haha.

I pluck my eyebrows though.
Yesterday I had a shower, exfoliated, moisturised and face packed myself up in honour of this thread.

*looks around* shhhhh... I thin mine a bit, too. I don't pluck, though. I'm not that careful about it. I just run a razor over the top and bottom of the brow.

It's not like I have a unibrow or anything, but if I don't thin my eyebrows, it looks strange compared to how manicured I keep the rest of the hair on my face. The fact that I have to dye my eyebrows and facial hair doesn't help. I'd look funny with a blonde beard and black hair.

You'd look like a badger. Warren would love you. Longtime.

I now have a new #1 reason to keep dying my beard.

I did my eyebrows and had a face pack too, made me feel a bit better about being a sloth. One day I may get round to getting the lawnmower on to these legs of mine. Shocked

I find the best exfoliating face wash is Ocean Salt (possibly the name is slightly different) By Lush.

It has chunks of sea salt with grapefruit and vodka. It gets rid of spots and leaves you with a face as smooth as a babys bum!

I don't think I can answer this without sending you all to sleep, but needless to say my life is one long merry-go-round of twice daily cleansing, toning and moisturising - hair dying, waxing, manicures, pedicures, roller setting, scrubbing, smoothing on and on and on.

Oh and the daily inspection and massage of wrinkles, he he.

Sounds like some kind of bliss...apart from the wrinkle thing. I sent my husband out to by some face cream the other day with full instructions of what to buy and he came home with stuff for 60+ skin Sad  I'm 25, I nearly committed murder.

This is true. I am forever getting Ruby up at 4am so she can start her preening in time for us to be out of the house by 11am.

They already know we sleep together and that you tickle my toes!

I didn't tell you did I?, that the other night i was at Adam's, I dreamt that I hugged you in my sleep thinking you were Adam and I then woke up and shouted really loudly to Adam, "im sorry I thought you were Adam" thinking I was shouting and apologising to you"!!
