The essence of the cold cream
If there’s one thing in my beauty kit that I am constantly thankful for, it’s cold cream. If you haven’t gotten around to trying this baby out for yourself, then allow me to introduce to you the gift that keeps on giving, and why you should stock up on this beauty essential.
Cold cream defined
Cold cream is basically the elixir to smooth, supple skin. My mother swears by it, as her mother did, and most likely my entire lineage did – and I can totally understand why. An emulsion of oil, water, and thickening agent, cold cream is go-to remover that does more than just cleanse your face – it lifts layers of oil and dirt from your skin leaving it soft, smooth, supple, and immensely moisturized. It also helps with keeping blemishes and shine at bay. With the cold cream’s existence, you now have an alternative to your regular makeup removers.
Tried and tested
One of the most impressive cold creams I’ve recently tried is the latest in Pond’s line-up: the Washable Cold Cream. It features “Witch Hazel”, an all-natural remedy to large pores, oily skin, and rough patches. This ultra-nourishing superstar ensures that your face looks beautiful, bare-faced or otherwise. The Pond’s Washable Cold Cream is indeed a beauty treat your skin won’t soon forget. Trust me, my skin has been craving for this cream since I indulged in it.
