There's a lot of me to scrub.Smile
Here's a review after washing my hands twice with 2 different soaps:-
They don't lather up like liquid soap (my usual for hand washing).............and
My hands felt really smooth afterwards - seems to iron out the creases .
Looking forward to my shower tomorrow - I might look 30 years younger. Big Grin
By the time I've used up all that soap I'll be school age!

I normally wash my hands at the kitchen sink with Aldi's finest orange scented washing up liquid, with a bit of sugar added if my hands are really mucky. Rolleyes

Vinny see the quote below, evedently reading that Veggie must have bought several boxes of the soaps, also if she stays in the shower using the soap till she thinks she looks 30years younger she will as she says use up all the soap but also creat a water shortage in Wales Big GrinBig Grin Big Grin

Its a good job I'm not sensitive about my age - like you are, Spec. Tongue

Who said I was sensative about my age, I'm not sensitive about it, I'm just not telling you what it is:Angry Wink Smile


RE: Eco friendly recommendations - Veggie - 12-06-2021

Only because you've told so many porkies about your age that you've forgotten what it is.Tongue

I’ve used my shampoo & conditioner bars from non plastic beach a couple of times now. I have to say, they are brilliant.
My hair after washing normally is a little like fingers in the plug socket! A little fly away. But not with this stuff. My hair looks like I care about it . That’s new  Wink . Looks like it know what a brush is. It’s really soft and tangle free. Also don’t need to wash as often. It stays look good for longer. The best bit is no transition period from liquid to bar.
The idea of a vinegar rinse has never really appeared to me.

I've been using the Lush shampoo bars for just over two years now and find them really convenient and long-lasting. I originally bought some as I was flying for the first time since the rules restricting liquids were brought in, and found it was really easy to travel with a bar in a little tin. I could also use it as an all-in-one wash when needed - hair, face, body, clothes. They are pricey though and often come with bits in them that look pretty but are a real pain in practice, so I'm keen to try out some alternative brands. Some good ideas to try on this thread, thank you!
