Hello lovelies, since I have quite the collection of vintage skincare products, I thought it would be fun only to use 1950s skincare products for a week.
In the morning, use Noxema as a cleanser.

Unilever sells the Noxzema brand of skin cleanser. It has been offered in a tiny cobalt blue jar since 1914. Camphor, menthol, phenol, and eucalyptus are among the components in Noxzema. It was originally created to treat sunburns, but it is now widely used as a facial cleanser and make-up remover. It can also be applied on chapped, sunburned, or otherwise irritated skin to provide relief.
Ponds Cold Cream is a nighttime skincare product by Ponds.
Pond's Cream was developed as a patent medicine in the United States in 1846 by pharmacist Theron T. Pond (1800–1852) of Utica, New York. Mr. Pond discovered that witch hazel could be used to make a therapeutic tea that might treat tiny cuts and other diseases. "Golden Treasure" was the product's name. It became known as "Pond's Extract" after Theron died.
By the twentieth century, the company's primary focus had shifted to selling cosmetics. Pond's products made their debut in the facial care sector with the creation of "Pond's Vanishing Cream" and "Pond's Cold Cream."
Kleenex:

Kleenex was founded during World War I. It created a crepe paper that may be used as a gas mask filter. It was adopted as a consumer product called Kotex brand to help ladies with their periods in the early 1920s. The words "cotton" and "texture" were combined to create the Kotex trademark. This name was chosen because it "matched [their] standards for being short, easy to say, easy to remember, and easy to explain," according to the corporation. Kleenex was chosen as the name for a line of cold cream remover in 1924, and the "Kleen" element of the name reflects the cleansing purpose of the product. The "ex" was added to indicate that Kleenex was part of the same product family as Kotex. In 1924, the first Western facial tissue was created, and it was marketed as a technique to remove cold cream (it had already been in use in Japan for centuries; see History of facial tissue for details). It was a one-time use alternative to face towels or cotton wool. The first Kleenex tissue advertisement appeared in periodicals in 1925, depicting "the new secret of retaining a beautiful skin as utilised by famous movie stars."
Soap with Pears: Double Cleanse

Andrew Pears started making and selling Pears transparent soap in a workshop just off Oxford Street in London, England, in 1807. It was the world's first translucent soap for mass consumption. A. & F. Pears pioneered a number of sales and marketing improvements under the leadership of Thomas J. Barratt.
Sea Breeze Toner Astrigent

Sea Breeze is a skin care cosmetic brand that was founded in 1906. The original formula was designed to treat minor cuts and scrapes as an antiseptic.
Olay:

Olay's origins can be traced back to South Africa, where it was first known as Oil of Olay. It was founded in 1952 by Graham Wulff. He came up with the name "Oil of Olay" as a play on the term "lanolin," which is one of the major ingredients.
It was special in the early days since it came in a hefty glass bottle and was a pink fluid rather than a cream. Wulff and his marketing partner, former copywriter Jack Lowe, had put the product through its paces with their wives and friends and were confident in its distinctiveness and quality.
Olay's marketing was particularly noteworthy in that it was never referred to as a moisturiser or even a beauty fluid. The product's exact function was not stated anywhere on the box. Print ads featured content like "Share the secret of a younger looking you" and discussed Oil of Olay's "beauty secret."
Nivea

Paul Carl Beiersdorf launched the company on March 28, 1882. It was sold to Oscar Troplowitz in 1890.
Queen Heleen debuted in the 1930s.

I went to a Catholic girls boarding school. One of the younger nuns, (one of my teachers) gifted me a bottle of Oil of Olay pink liquid for my 14th birthday. She had lovely skin as far as I could see as they wore the full habit with the long black gown back then which didn't show a whole lot of skin. She had a little note with it that said "always moisturize dear". Every time I see Oil of Olay in the store I think of that lovely lady. BTW I still have that little note.

Such a fun video! When my grandma would visit us I asked her what was the pink liquid I thought she was using “oil of old lady” ❤️
-
I wonder what oily girls did back in the day, because all of these ULTRA hydrating things seem no good for us. LOL I do know my grandma (who is 85) has been using Noxema RELIGIOUSLY for EVERYTHING her whole life. Zit? Noxema. Sunburn? Noxema. Got into the nettles outside playing? Noxema. Bad boyfriend? NOXEMA BABY. lol! ;)
-
I wish these companies would go back to glass containers!!!
-
Laura, nobody ever talks about Camay Soap. Even though there are tons of commercials on this product from the 1950 and 60s, it would be nice to bring it back to life.
-
My grandma actually taught me to remove my make up with Ponds and Kleenex. She was a teenager in the 50s and it just stuck.
-
Oh man I remember a shampoo called Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific that had a resurgence in the 80s but originated much earlier. It really did make your hair smell amazing
-
don't pull your face down when you apply face cremes you'll stretch your skin out and it'll create wrinkles the older you get love. Always apply lotions massaging your face upwards to accentuate your skin and make you look radiant and younger.

I always thought that as someone with extremely oily, acne prone skin my skin problems would have been 100xs worse during the 40s & 50s,, because most of the products seem geared towards those with dry skin. From the research I've done there weren't many good products for my skin type during those years, basically they used soap, alcohol based toners, and clearasil type treatments. Your skin is amazing and you look great without makeup, you're so lucky!

Pinkie's meow is so cute. It was common growing up to remove makeup with cold cream. We used the ponds or Dorothy Gray. I loved Noxema as a teenager. Covergirl makeup and powder used to have the Noxema ingredients in it. It smelled heavily of Noxema. But for us oily skinned girls who broke out it was a life saver. It kept our skin from getting too oily and it cleared our skin. We relied on it and Bonne Bell. Ten O six really dried up the acne. My mom used the pink oil of Olay lotion. I remember it really making the skin look so glowing smooth.

Olay was called Ulay in Britain until the 90s. My mum always used it and I loved the smell and the heavy glass bottle.
-
I’m also addicted to using noxzema every morning. I leave it on my face as a mask as I get everything ready to wash up and shower. Leaves skin super clean feeling and clear looking. ❤️
-
Such a beautiful and relaxing video to watch.A vintage bath routine would lovely to see.❤
-
Yes Sea Breeze has been around here in the US as long as I can remember. I still use it!
-
I've seen people use the Nivea cream as a duplicate for the original Creme de la Mer. Talk about astronomical savings! Great video! Thank you!

My mom has been using the Oil of Olay Original Beauty Fluid in the pink bottle for as long as I can remember and no matter what expensive skin care she tries from department stores and so forth she always goes back to the Olay original moisturizer. She'll be turning 71 in December and she looks much younger than her age I think because of it. Personally I always use Ponds cold cream to remove my makeup.

I’d love a week of Erno Laszlo skin care!💗

I'm 59 yrs old, so I was a teen in the 70's. I always thought of Noxema as a cleanser for acne prone skin. But now I think I am going to get some to use as you keep praising it's moisturizing properties. I may also try the Ponds and Nivea and maybe the Sea Breeze. The Sea Breeze is another product I thought was more for acne prone skin as well.
-
Love the video. I still use some of those products. You mentioned a vintage bath time routine, id love to see that and get some ideas for my spa bath day!
