Did you know that different types of Cold Cream was invented and have been used in the beginning of the 18th Century? Physicists introduced cold creams to be used as moisturizer, makeup remover and as shaving cream. This is why you'd still probably hear your mom or grandparents talk about this wonderful invention.
As i read stories about cold creams, I came across this poem and its so fascinating that even poets raved about it, here's a few lines from the poem:
"Whoe'er with this cream shall her countenance smear,
All redness and roughness will strait disappear,
And the skin to a wonder be charmingly clear;
If pimples arise, this will take them away;
If the small-pox should mark you, those marks will decay;
If wrinkled through age, or bad dawbing the face is,
'Twill be smooth in a trice, as the best Venice glass is;
All this, and much more (could I spare time to write it,
Or my pen go as fast, as your lips would indite it)
You affirm of your cream: and I would not abuse it,"
Dr. Russell, To A Lady: in imitation of the thirtieth Epigram of the fifth Book of Martial

I still use cold cream if I feel dry spots on my face. Mostly on my forehead. And whenever I have heavy makeup on. I use the ever beneficial Pond's Cold Cream. The packaging was different from before but it gives the same benefit.
Did you know that Pond's Cold Cream was introduced on the 1900's and was used by celebrities and well known personalities? Awesome huh?

How I use Cold Cream as Makeup Remover:
- Use your fingertips to apply the cold cream on your face
- Gently massage the product on the area where there's makeup, concentrate on your eye area since we all find it hard to remove eye makeup on this area and this is one of the most sensitive skin on the face.
- Use Baby wipes or wet ones to wipe it off
You'll notice how the cream works well in removing your makeup. I use this when I wear waterproof eye makeup and heavy foundation. The good thing about the cream is that you don't need to rub it on your face, gently wipe it off with the wet ones and you'll see that it melts the makeup in just a few seconds.
What I like about the Pond's Cold Cream:
- I like its soothing citrus-y scent
- It removes makeup easily in just one wipe
- Does not dry my skin
- Does not sting or irritate my eyes
- Keeps my skin moisturized
- Does not clog my pores
- I like its cooling effect once applied on the skin
