Sometimes Old-Fashioned Beauty Products Are Best

Some of my favorite beauty products have been around for ages.

My grandmother used to wash her face with Pear’s Soap. And I love it too. It’s been around for more than 200 years. You can usually find it in 99-cent stores. Even in drug stores, it’s only about $3.00. It’s a transparent, glycerin-based soap that has a somewhat medicinal scent of rosemary, cedar and thyme. But it’s gentle on skin. I use it to wash off my eye make-up.

Noxzema’s Original Deep Cleansing Cream was initially created to combat eczema. Hence, the name. Noxzema = no eczema. But women fell in love with it as a daily cleanser. I use it with a wash cloth to cleanse and exfoliate my face. It has a mentholated scent and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and not at all dry.

Give the old-timers a try. You won’t be disappointed.
