These are products that I've used on an off (and re-purchased) for a while now- I find they each really help things along in their own little way ...!
Philip Kingsley Scalp Toner - my scalp is prone to itchy flaky areas at times if I'm stressed, run-down or have over-used certain hair products (I'm always subjecting my scalp to dry shampoo and hair powders). I just apply this cooling toner directly to the area/in the parting and it helps to calm the area down and temporarily stop those pesky flakes.
Simple Derma Intensive Relief Lotion - I usually stock up on this if it's on offer as it's a must-have if my eczema flares up - the large bottle of lotion lasts for ages! I also use it after shaving or if my skin is feeling a bit itchy and stressed (usually tops of my arms - no idea why) - it's perfume free and very gentle on the skin - it doesn't sting and stops any soreness developing.
Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturising Lotion - I am a big fan of the Aveeno hand cream but found I was getting through one tube too many so I switched to buying this large 200ml tube of moisturising lotion. I keep this downstairs and use it as my hand cream. I find it just as moisturising as a regular hand cream and if anything more soothing/comforting plus the huge tube lasts and lasts.
Liz Earle Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion - Great to sweep over tired/puffy eyes in the morning (yep that's me!) to wake em up or if I'm feeling really decadent to use as a compress/eye mask type thing on cotton pads and get back in bed and lie back on a weekend (get me!). I don't use it as an eye-make-up remover as I wear too much mascara and it's only suitable for removing light eye make-up. Also brilliant during the hay fever season - myself and my son have used this many a time to refresh sore, itchy hay fever eyes.
Nivea Rescue and Care SOS Body Lotion - leaves skin smooth, silky and plumped. I've found this to be especially soothing on my hands (again? - yes again - my hands get very dry in all seasons!). Really seems to help lock the moisture in and keep it there and so protects skin from drying and cracking. (I found it especially effective when the weather was extra cold - was great to apply before going out to keep hands supple). Also good on knees, elbow and any extra dry bits really!
So that's my little arsenal of must-haves, there are a few others I favour but didn't want to bombard you with too many at once so I'll save them for another post!
What are your favourite 'Rescue Products' and why?

Oooh, I might have to have a look at the Liz Earle eye cream; would you say is affects the darkness of your circles?

For me it's more effective on puffiness and tired, sore eyes but everyone's different! xx
DeleteLike the sound of the scalp toner, I have the same problem from time to time xx

Nightmare isn't it? Going to try a scalp mask next xx
DeleteAlso loving the sounds of the scalp toner - my mother in law would love this. Thanks for the tip off! My rescue product is Neal's Yard Facial Mist. I spritz on my face in the morning to wake myself up. And it's great in hot weather if the kids have a heat rash or get a nettle sting! x
