Nivea in blue pot - Tell me your uses for it

I've bought some Nivea in the blue pot. Tell me how to use it! Can I really take makeup off with it? AND use it as a face and body moisturiser? All tips appreciated TIA Grin

Chuffing?

Fanjo style?

It's the only moisturiser I can use on my sensitive face. I don't use it daily though, only when needed, so a pot lasts me well over a year.
On the very rare occasion I wear makeup I use it to take it off too. It's fab and cheap!

I've lost my little pot and have struggled to find a replacement. Only want a small pot because I just use it on my lips. It's the best stuff.

Opheliasgoldenwine · 20/11/2018 21:06

Curious, is it any different to the squeezy white bottle?

GhostCurry · 20/11/2018 21:08

kayaking you use it on your lips?!

SassitudeandSparkle · 20/11/2018 21:10

Chafing, I assumed Grin

I've got a small pot a large pot, and a flat metal tin as well but I can't remember where I got the small one from now. Poss a supermarket, either the cosmetics bit or the minis-for-travel section.

Just be careful it doesn’t clog your skin up. I used it for 15 years and then suddenly my skin couldn’t handle the heaviness of it and I got lots of little bumps under my skin. Gutted I had to stop using it.

Ooh yes lips 💋 too

redsummershoes · 20/11/2018 21:21

I picked up a small pot from Asda. But I know my local chemist, superdrug and savers do them, too.

Cold porcelain decorations.

Wilkos sell the small plastic pots for about £1.

I got done fir the first time last year from amazon but use it on my feet- found it too heavy for skin but might try again.

I had a pot that had tiny blue bits in; is that normal? Might be the amazon thing...

bigfootfred · 21/11/2018 06:59

My mum slaps it on like a ghost at night lol she does have good skin

Nicecupofcoco · 21/11/2018 07:09

Use as a night cream! It's amazing, you don't need much either! My nan used it all her life and always had young looking skin. That reminds me, I need to buy more! 😂

Cold porcelain decorations?! Shock that's not the look I was aiming for actually shouldwestayorshouldwego
