around 50% of veruccas will disappear of their own accord, but if yours won't, then try 'Wartners' treatment available from your pharmacy.

Hello, I have two questions which I would like some advice on. Firstly, over the past couple of years I have developed Rosecea on my face. For some months now I wash just with water and try to avoid putting any products on my face. This comes from a woman of 46 who for most of her life has moisturised with anti ageing creams such as oil of ulay or L'oreal and wearing makeup. Can you recommend the top products to use? I am especially interested in "green" creams to hide the effects of Rosecea. My second question is to do with my feet. I have very bad tough dry skin on the soles of my feet. I ahve tried the usual exfoliating methods...intensive creams, files etc but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? Thanks. Teresa Jessen Hampshire
Answer from Fran
I've had similar problems, but found that good old vaseline smeared on at night then put on a pair of socks works wonders.

Hi Alice, Everyday seems worse when it comes to my skin. I feel that i shouldnt be dealing with this problem anymore. I always felt so envious of people with super-smooth skin, whereas i constantly feel so conscious of my blemishes and bumpy, red ghastly look. The blemishes never seem to go. Im always looking for the next 'big' solution, but in the end they never work. Any tips to help solve the drama? Thank you, Scarlett xx

I have mid-dark (asian) skin and find that most sunscreens and sunblocks give my face a weird purplish ashy cast. I've heard that this is because of the titanium dioxide that many formulations use - can you suggest a good product that doesn't contain it? Also, am I right in thinking that sunscreen goes on after moisturiser but before primer/foundation? Thanks!

You're spot on with the titanium dioxide. I'd recommend you try the Organic Pharmacy range as their products specifically promise a non-whitening f...
