Gotta love a moisturizer with built-in sunscreen. I'm lazy like that. If I had to apply the moisturiser and sunsreen separately, one probably would not happen. I like the weight of the sunscreen, although it does leave a bit of a film on my skin. And the fragrance - WHOA! - do not attempt this in the first trimester of pregnancy. It is seriously overpowering. It does the job, but would I buy it again... probably not if there was something advertised as natural and low fragrance in the same store.

We love this soap so much that we paid SEVEN DOLLARS A BAR for it from an overly enthusiastic health food store in Australia. The peppermint version is the best. Even my husband who hates fragrance is mad for it. It's tingly, it's refreshing, it's nice and solid so that it doesn't disintegrate in the soap holder. And who doesn't love a little religious fervour on their soap packaging?!

This product is super-effective at drying up diaper rash. But I found that my daugher's skin became dry and almost flaky if I tried to apply it at more than one diaper change. A fabulous product is diaper rash is raw/weepy/inflamed. But once dried out, switch to a natural oil (Apricot Kernal, Sweet Almond) to stop the rash returning. I keep the Weleda on hand for more serious rashes (and my sister who has suffered from excema all her life SWEARS by it).

Now I fancy myself as quite the practiced home waxer, but nothing could have prepared me for this product. The inclusion of the word 'spa' in the product title is surely some kind of twisted joke, as tangling with this particular variety of superglue...sorry, wax, was the polar opposite to relaxing. Picture this - I am staying at a luxury holiday rental home. I figure I'll do a little waxing in front of the TV (as I said above, I'm practiced). I heat the wax. Wax looks a little strange. I proceed regardless. I smear wax under arm (why I started there, I don't know. I'm sorry. I can't even begin to tell you how sorry. It won't happen again.) I smooth strip over wax. I pull wax strip. Yeeeeooooooooooww. It appears the wax seems has bypassed the hairs, and instead is attempting to tear flesh from bone. I recover. Wipe sweat from my brow. Unbeknowns to me, the wax is hardening into what might just be the world's first shiny purple, bulletproof, smooth-on underarm shield. Also unbeknown to me, the longer I leave it, the greater the likelihood that said shield would become a permanent fixture in my underarm. As this is happening, I have somehow managed to drip wax on the carpet. The coffee table. And, days later I will discover, the stair rail. And people, lemme tell you from painful experience, this product does not wash off with water. It does not rub off with a finger. Chances are, it would not blast off if taken to with an oxy-torch. It took me half an hour to discover the oil stuff included in the package. I used all of it trying to remove the wax from my poor, tormented underarm. Days later, I would have to go and buy more to remove wax from coffee table, carpet...and stair rail. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Take it from my swollen armpit. This is the sort of product that remains on retail shelves simply to suck in unsuspecting first-timers and send them running, screaming in abject terror back to their shavers. Save yourselves. If you find yourself tempted to buy this product, leave the store.

I have sensitive skin which can react badly to some exfoliants. This product was admittedly a little drying, but as long as I used it only a couple of times a week it was brilliant. Smells great too...even when pregnant!
