A campervan in a lay-by with 'Gustav' and 'Alma' in big letters on the windscreen, Lord B? I can't see it somehow.

How are the dudes here with exfoliants?
A friend of mine recommended coffee grounds. I've forgotten what he recommended mixing them with, though. Oh? Really? How interesting; given that my exfoliant cost me something like forty quid for the wee bottle of it (post christmas-holiday airport spending, you know how it is), I think I might be up for considering more reasonable alternatives. |

what alternative? Scratching the skin off? I was thinking about it myself. Imagine all new skin and no scars.

Ground adzuki beans work well. Honest! I used to use The Body Shop one until I realised that a packet of beans costs nowt and I was just paying for the pretty packet. Here are the beans ...  Chuck them in the grinder, press the button, all done. Store them in a jar Easy peasy. |

What about `air on a G String?
Ah, Mort - great minds think alike! But I hope your mind didn't go on, like mine, to wonder what type of 'air might be on a G-string. Then get a mental image of Bach as a moustachioed dutch porn star from the 1970s coming out with wise cracks like "I have no stops on my organ"............. I'll never be able to listen to that piece in quite the same way again. Tommo |

I love exfoliants. They can sell me all sort of products to every one's amazement. Lately I stopped. May be I lost hope to recapture what one's was. But the thought of new skin is very appealing.  Anyone to make their own soap? |

Soap making isn't a particularly pleasant business, if my chemistry-class recollections serve me correctly.

I know absolutely nothing about soap making, but there are books that will teach you how. It is probably very natural way of doing it and therefore guaranteed to make one young (not younger). |

It is very difficult to find good cream for your skin. May be people know good creams. I was puting almond oil on mine for a while (what could be more natural), but I can not go anywhere if I put it on because my face is shiny after it.
One can make cucumbeers or mash some berries to put on one's face, but it involves much time. Who wants to see anybody with strawberries on his face? Even worse, one can put blackberries on her face.

We can make soap together. It will be called Classical Music Board soap. It will make musical bubbles.

Does nobody here use Fairy Liquid, or even Quix?
