It occurred to me the other day that I like Steam Cream because it's like a cold cream, but lighter.
I used cold cream (Nivea) every night throughout my teens and early twenties.
It's occurred to me that I've only ever adapted my skin care when stuffs been discontinued or because I've got older and you are supposed to change and you age.
In all honesty my skins no different to it was 15 years ago apart from the odd wrinkle.
I picked up some Nivea last week pm in pound,and and I had forgotten his much crap it gets off my face and how nice it leaves my skin.
So I thought back, and I've spent the last 10 years trying to find a cleanser as good as Himalaya cleansing milk, and non have been, not even close. Even Lancôme and Clarins. You could see the grime come off your skin, and it melted make up in seconds (stung the eyes though so used Nivea to remove eye up).
So I've ordered some on Ebay that is imported.
And ditto for Ponds Vanishing Cream. That was so good in the mornings that I could go without make up and it kept my shine free all day. And when I put make up no primer was required.
So I've sourced that too. Up till now never occurred to me to see if they were still been manufactured else where in the world.
I am happy and excited, and can't wait till they come
What other products were really brilliant that you just can't get in the UK anymore?

Fuck this shit. I've decided I'm going retro with my skin care.
