What beauty products that have been around for years and years do you use?

Mine are:

Nivea in the blue pot
Max Factor Pan Stick - in my opinion by far the best total cover flawless finish foundation stick and a little goes a long way
Ponds Cold Cream
Gres Cabochard perfume

Chanel Coco perfume (1984)
Shu Uemera eyelash curler (1991)

Clinique clarifying lotion 3

I'm sure there are more but in general I tend to use recent launches/more modern products as the technology improves and things become more lightweight, refined, easy to remove, skin-like, etc.

I discovered Max Factor panstick 25 years ago, which as a naive 19 yo I thought was brilliant for covering my heavy acne. Unfortunately it also made it far worse.

Gres Cabochard perfume never heard of this but am interested to track it down.

The two perfumes I have had on my dressing table since I was 18 are Beautiful and L'Air du Temps. Others are bought and used but not necessarily replaced.

CK Obsession, love it.
Estée Lauder advanced night repair.

Magnesium sulphate paste for spots.

Rimmel Jude the blemish. I've used it since I was about 14 so for about 30 years

Hide the blemish not Jude!!

I've used Cabochard since l was 15.
Hide the blemish
Johnsons cotton buds!

Astral. It's the only cream I can use on my skin without it going to shit

My mum worked in a geriatrics ward for years, and always asked the old ladies with beautiful skin what they used to moisturise. It was always a toss up between Astral and Vaseline

I used olay serum for years but I have recently found a superdrug one that is similar, cheaper and smells nicer.

Touché éclat
Nivea soft

Vaseline - i use it to moisturise my feet with pair of old socks over the top to ensure it soaks in.

Clarins beauty flash Balm.

Used a lot of Clarins in my 20s - face and body ranges - and have now moved onto lots of other things but BFB is the only thing I consistently buy. It just gives skin such a nice glowy boost when I'm tired or before a night out under makeup. Also seems to help hold my foundation on longer.

My friend who is a fashion photographer swears by it for models who turn up looking like shite before a shoot
