I have fallen in love. I found the greatest face mask in a pharmacy in New York (oh yeah, I went to NY this summer. It was quite alright), at the grand price of $3,50 for a massive tube of clay with aloe vera, oats and avocado. After years of spending money on Clinique products, this green goo cleansed my skin like it's never been cleansed before, whilst at the same time keeping it smooth, soft and nourished. Obviously, I left it in Oslo on my return to Durham, and have thus been forced to try and find a similar product. I know I have all my Clinique stuff still, but it's just not the same. It does look damn nice in my bathroom, though...
I found Pond's Cold Cream. And lo and behold, does it work! My skin feels soft, it's smooth and it's goddamn clean. It even removed makeup my makeup. Three days into my little experiment, and my face is radiant. Not that it wasn't before, I am pretty damn hot, but my skin feels great. After a really lazy summer (bar the use of the Clay Mask of Awesome), it has kickstarted my beauty regime. And at £3,99 a jar, it's an inexpensive treat for any type of skin. I have typical combination skin, with dry cheeks and a greasy T-zone with pores that tend to clog, and was therefore a bit worried it might be a bit too rich. However, it cleansed and moisturised at the same time.
I know Jennifer Aniston is one of Pond's celebrity fans, and it shames me to agree with her. But go. Run to your nearest Boots, or Bodycare (where it was £1 cheaper, but they only had the one for normal skin, which is the one I use). Get the normal one, or the extra hydrating one, or the one for wrinkles. Just get it. Pretty skin on a student budget!
