a bitter pill for fresh smelling noxema
after viewing my face in a change room the other day, i decided the time had come to buy a face cream.
actually, by the looks of the crags and crevices in my face, the time had come quite a long time ago. i was being reactive. and according to the magazines that i ignore, i should have been cleansing, toning and moisturising since i was in my teens (thank you estee lauder).
but i had noxema then!
and i still do.
there is no way i can toss aside noxema. i lurve the fresh smell and clean feel my face gets from noxema.
but i also need a little bit more.
i tried this product from a line called caudalie. big mistake. i broke out in a rash all over my face and looked like a tiny tomato.
so now i am going with decleor.
judging from the look of abject horror on the smooth faced, dye browed salesperson who "helped" me (not psychologically, she damaged me there) the other day, it is far too late to save my face, but might as well spend money and try.
i mentioned to anne that the choice of face creams was mind boggling and that even after carefully googling "best face cream erasing years keeping skin looking 15" i still had no idea what was the best thing for my face. her response was to burst into laughter that i could hear all the way from toronto.
"ha ha ha, tess!" she squealed. "ha! doesn’t matter what you use! anything is better than that noxema you’ve been using for the last, what, 25 years?"
on behalf of noxema, (and my laziness in only using noxema), ouch.
so i have a face cream. no rash yet, but no fewer lines either.
