Pond’s: Taking It Back To The Old School

My Mom taught us early about Dove and my Sister and I have used nothing else since. Well that was until a little while ago. My Mom asked what I had been using lately on my face and she even laughed when I told her. First thing out her mouth was, “That’s what your Grandma Lue used!” I knew if Annie Lue Crews used it then it was a winner! Her skin was FLAWLESS! I started using Pond’s “Classic” Cold Cream, because my face was getting a little dry due to the weather. All I can say is…the BEST! My face feels so clean and refreshed after I use it. Throughout the week I wear very minimal make-up, if any, but if I have a date night or go out with my girlfriends, I’ll wear it. Ponds is the best when it comes to taking make-up off or if you just need a good, deep clean. Occasionally, I’ll add a rotation of Daily Facial Cleanser after I apply Ponds if my skin really needs it. For example, after a heavy workout, being outside for long periods of time, etc.

How I use it:

1. I use one cotton round (make-up remover pad) to scoop out the Pond’s Cold Cream to keep from putting my hands in the jar
2. I scoop out the cream (you don’t need much) and apply it to my face
3. I gently use my fingers and massage my skin/face (especially my eyes — to remove eye makeup)
4. After a good application and massage I use a piece of tissue to wipe off any residue
5. Next, which is my fave part, I use a very warm cloth (or hot if you’re like me) and let it rest on my face to help open up the pores. I’ll literally let it sit there, because it feels SO GOOD and soothing on my skin!
6. Last, I just let my face dry, then apply moisturizer.

That’s really it! It makes me feel good to know that’s sometimes it’s just not that hard. If it worked for Mama and Grandma Lue…surely it’ll work for me!
