What hygiene products do you use?

The antiperspirant aluminium thing is interesting. I was brought up on deodorant. I think it is natural to sweat. I don't know about other people but antiperspirant has always been around in the UK it just seems a bit novelty. I’m I right in thinking that in the UK most people us deodorant and in the US antiperspirant is more popular? I remember as a young kid being told how antiperspirant is not good. If you not going to sweat there you are going to sweat somewhere else.

some of you guys are such pretty boys nothing wrong with that of course, but how much does all those beauty products cost you? i go to the dollar store to get mine and i rarely spend more than $10 on shampoo barsoap (highly underrated) and toothpaste/ i borrow my moms hairspray if i ever feel like slicking the cat back.

I don't care if you call me a hippie I avoid products with animal ingredients and Animal tested products. I'm a vegetarian too. I don't use anything with dyes and perfumes it hurts my skin and I get a rash on my belly.

I use

Toms Of Mayne Anti- Cavity toothpaste mint flavor. '
Down Under Naturals Fruit kicks Conditioner
Down Under Naturals Fruit kicks Shampoo
Avalon Organics Glycerin Hand Soap
Oral B tooth brush
Dental floss there like little sticks with floss on them. They make floss easier

A mineral-rich cleansing bar with seaweed, French green clay, lemongrass, lemon myrtle & peppermint essential oils.(pretty exotic eh?)
I always use organic shower products, there better for your skin plus they smell DIVINE.
My all time favourite spray

I loooovethe smell of vanilla.








lol I actually have this toothbrush!

Radox shower cream (whichever my mum buys me for Christmas/birthday.. she likes to buy me shower stuff so I don't have to shell out for them as I have sensitive skin), Simple fragrance+perfume free facewipes, Aquafresh Total Whitening toothpaste, Colgate toothbrush with rubber bits on for the hard bits to get at in your wisdom teeth (I have deep cusps), Sanex dermo-sensitive anti-perspirant/deodorant, Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Moisturiser (for those dry bits, good on your face too, very decent stuff), and Hair Remedy Drench and Colour Protect shampoo and conditioner (from Australia apparently, found it in Wilkinsons for £1.50 a bottle.. it's the best shampoo I've used in a long time. The conditioner is so thick and makes your hair really soft).

the usual bunch: toothbrush/paste, soap, shower gel, shampoo - i dont really care much for brands. a bit of change every once in a while is okay. same for deodorant... i usually change it either when i get bored with my current brand or when its not stocked when i need new.
i think i should start replacing my noname shampoo with something a bit higher quality plus start using conditioner.

a bit more out of the line: merkur 23c safety razor, gilette "rotbart" blades (i want to use feather brand blades but dont have a place that stocks them), wilkinson shaving soap (was short on money - prefer better stuff), nivea after shave balsam (tested, not all that good. aiming for some classic "olde english gentleman"-smelling aftershave again)
so, by chance, most of my shaving equipment is a pretty makeshift solution right now - always balancing budget, curiosity and quality. i still guess i own a cooler razor than just about everyone else.
of course, id never resort to using out-of-the-box shaving stuff. shaving soap and brush is the way to go.

i use a quite wide assortment of nail stuff, and a few products that do a better job at removing makeup than water and soap.
