My No Frills Beauty Favourites: Sudocrem.

I LOVE SUDOCREM

I've used Sudocrem for years for everything but its main purpose.

Any kind of skin complaint I've ever had, has a blob of the thick white potion slapped on it as soon as possible. It gets recommended to everyone!

I've used Sudocrem ....

• as a spot treatment for acne,
• on skin irritations such as eczema or dry patches of skin,
• to sooth a reaction to an under eye cream I once had.
• to heal kirks tattoo when a small patch became sore and scabby when healing,
• as a soother to a curling iron burn,
• to help reduce my milia spots (not sure it worked),
• as a face mask to soak in over night,
• to sooth where my bra  had rubbed the skin on my cleavage,
• to calm a blister I wish I hadn't popped,
• and once,on the dogs paw, she had nibbled it and made it sore. A bit Sudocrem stopped her from biting it leaving the skin time to heal.

Im not a beautician, doctor or a vet. What works for me may not work for you. Always be careful When dealing with your skin.

However, it goes to show, that you don't need to spend a fortune on fancy creams and treatments. Sometimes, something as boring and cheap as a £3 nappy cream will have 1001 uses.

Top Tip! when using Sudocrem, especially in a pot make sure you have clean hands before you use and never double dip* to avoid the spread of germs an infection!! i always use hand sanitizer before and after use.

*double dip means to dip your finger in the pot, apply to the affected are and then dip the same finger back in. 

What are some of your skincare essentials?
