DaisieWilde said:My skin loved the cold cream/witch hazel routine, but I found that it was ruining my wash cloths, even after machine washing I couldn't get them all the way clean, perhaps it is the mineral oil in the cream...what am I doing wrong?
Am I not washing them frequently enough?
Edited to add: I've used both Pond's and Boots Traditional...love both but I really enjoy the Boots texture.
I had this problem as well. I have used Pond's and the Jergens cream, back to using Pond's now. I was using white washcloths - and I wash my whites on hot, with bleach, a combo of soap, Borax & washing soda, and liquid bluing. I use a bit of white vinegar in my rinse cycle. The makeup stains came out, but the "greasiness" didn't. They always felt like they had a residue, no matter what I did. Either I'm a real stickler about laundry (which is entirely possible) or perhaps it is related to the hardness or softness of water in your area. Either way I quit using the cloths because it was driving me nuts. Now I just tissue the cold cream off.
Two applications in the evening to fully remove my makeup, followed by witch hazel. One application in the morning and let it soak in while I brush my teeth, tissue off, then rinse & exfoliate my face in the shower.
