Scraping the Bottom of the Cold Cream Jar
July 30th 2010 11:18
Cold cream. Now there’s a term I’ll bet you haven’t heard in a while. Do they even sell it anymore? These days, women use a pre-cleanser, lait demaquillant, or some other pretentiously named and ruinously priced product.
I regularly bought expensive skin care products, until I started saving for an overseas holiday. When I ran out of Sisley White Lily Cleansing Milk, I replaced it with aqueous cream. When I ran out of Chanel eye cream, I rummaged around in my vanity and found a Sundari eye oil that I had forgotten about. When I used the last drop of my heavenly Sisley Floral Toning Lotion, I did a bit more rummaging and found a sample bottle of the same product, which is lasting longer than you would think. Since I’ve squeezed the last drop of Dermalogica Active Moist from its tube, I’ve been using all the free samples of moisturisers I’ve been hoarding.
I’ve gone 3 months without buying any expensive skin care, with no damage to my complexion. So, the next time you’re tempted to buy a pricey beauty product that you can’t afford, take a look at what you’ve already got. You might already have what you need.
