^ Lots of people think mineral oil is bad for your skin as well. There's a lot of misinformation about cosmetic ingredients online.
I'm not sure what exactly cold cream can be used for, but I'm most familiar with it as a makeup remover and skin treatment. My grandmother used it religiously. A water-free skin protectant for cold weather sounds more like a petroleum jelly (Vaseline).

I'm a new member, and I haven't posted anything yet, but I've been closely following this thread. I recently used up my too-expensive facial cleanser and moisturizers, and decided to go low-cost and vintage, as per the suggestions here. I bought a store brand cold cream, a tub of vitamin E moisturizer, and Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque and Oatmeal 'n Honey Scrub. I've been using these products since the first week in January, and I can't believe the difference in my skin! And? The total cost was probably around $10, as opposed to my previous products at over $60. This is DEFINITELY the better deal, all around!
^ Where do you buy the Watkins cream? I'm interested in using it with my Clarisonic!
I am also interested in this! My skin usually loves anything without silicone, and I absolutely LOVE the Watkins lemon cream lotion! It smells like lemon cookies:]
OT, but how do you find the Clarisonic? I've been thinking about getting one but don't know anybody who uses it IRL.^ Where do you buy the Watkins cream? I'm interested in using it with my Clarisonic!
^ I *love* it. I got the Mia2 for Christmas. I'd looked at it for a couple of years, but since I have pretty "good" skin - even tone, no acne/breakouts - I really couldn't justify it. However, I do find that my skin is much smoother (which, I thought it was smooth before, but now my makeup applies like a dream) and my products absorb better. It does also provide very mild exfoliation which is nice. I really didn't think I'd see much difference since my skin isn't troubled, but it does seem to be much nicer since using the Clarisonic. The one thing I do have issues with is blackheads on my nose, and it has made a difference there. It doesn't feel like it is doing a whole lot when you're using it, so I found it is very easy to overuse it at first and end up with red skin! :lol: I only use mine once a day and I use the sensitive skin brush it came with, and a hydrating lotion cleanser. If you have any questions I'm happy to answer them as best I can.
I had the Olay brush for a while beforehand, but it is a different product, more for exfoliating.

To fortworthgal also: I found it in CVS. BUT it seems to be a bit hit and miss, as most of the time they don't have it, and if I go down the road to another nearby CVS, they never have it at all- don't even stock the brand. Here is is on their website, and it looks like you can order online if all else fails: http://www.jrwatkins.com/jrwatkins/...C33ACF-2542-3708-4D6BFDC7F0F83A31&Country=USA
Btw, their Divine Day Lotion is also rather lovely, probably best for oily/combo. I also want too try their Pore Scrub!
