Nostalgia! Pond's!!

Do you remember your mother or grandmother using this on their faces or on your face??

I was browsing in a pharmacy and i spotted it! I haven't seen or heard of anyone using this anymore. It's $21ttd for a small bottle and about $41ttd for the large bottle. I remember the days when i used to do ballet and tap shows and plays, and mummy would smear this on my face and wipe it off to take off the zillion layers of makeup. I know that some countries do not sell Pond's cold cream anymore, or they are very rarely seen. It's been said to be the secret to why your elders have such great skin. It deep cleans, removes makeup and moisturizes :) The only down side is the smell. It's sort of like citronella but not really :s Some people like how it smells, i like how it smells because it reminds me of when i was a little one. This was a staple in my house, at shows etc! Now it's nowhere to be seen, people have forgotten about it because there are so many products out on the market that "remove makeup, clean and moisturize". This is the old fashioned cult makeup remover and cleanser and some people still swear by it. Makeup artists in Paris and New York, when asked what they use to take off makeup and clean the skin, they say Pond's Cold Cream!! :| Not Laura Mercier, not Benefit...nothing expensive and complicated...but simple and affordable. Something that has been relied on for DECADES.

I however would not recommend just slathering it on and wiping it off to take off makeup and not washing off your face afterwards, as some people do that. I would tissue it off and rinse my face with warm water because Pond's Cold Cream, if anyone can remember, is VERY moisturizing, and depending on your skin type it may feel or be a bit too thick and "oily" (for lack of a better term). It really does leave your skin feeling soft and smooth and it gets off stubborn mascara!! People complain that it just smears the makeup everywhere...well the cleansing milks and makeup removers and baby oil i have tried all smear your makeup, you just need to tissue it off properly and not just expect to wipe and have it all disappear and stick to a most likely over absorbed tissue or cotton. GOSH. Some people even keep it in a cool place so that when they put it on it's very refreshing!

I got so excited when i saw it i just had to tell/remind people about it :)

FLASHBACK!!
