My French gradmother would buy a dress.. It then was transformed into a skirt, then an apron and then a throw pillow cover and finally part of a rag rug
I love it!
I love this. Waste not, want not!
I'm 30 years old and I have been using ponds cold cream for years. Granny didn't wear makeup but she had this and everytime I use it , the scent is like a hug from her. Excuse me while I go cry now, I miss her so much.
🫂🤗🤗🤗
Ponds is all my mother used and at 79 her skin still looks great. She also stayed out of the sun.
My Nana always used that Too can't find it anywhere ❤
❤
@@natashaeynon2605 dollar general, Walmart, and cvs!!
I study dermatology and have to beg you to PLEASE never use lemon juice on your skin! It can cause burns and hyperpigmentation…. I like sugar and salt scrubs, just no lemon or citrus juice.
Ponds cold cream ladies is a must, also use palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks, it will keep them away as well as get rid of what you may already have
I started using good old PONDS COLD CREAM on my face to wash with mornings and before bed to remove makeup after seeing a commercial on TV when I as 18 yrs. Old. I am now just a few weeks away from 79 yrs.old and I STILL get compliments on my skin every time I am out and about! ❤
Having been a Hair StylistI asked all the women in their 70-80’s that had beautiful skin what they used to clean their face.Everyone of them said they only used Ponds cold cream their whole life! They also used it for their moisturizer.
I use ponds cold cream to remove makeup and for moisture also. My skin feels nice and soft.
This year a family member unearthed a home movie of my mom’s family in the late 1940’s, in Chicago. It was just a kid’s birthday party, and they were definitely not wealthy people. But they all looked so classy! The men had jackets and ties, the women were in dresses and suits, my grandma looked fabulous and my mom and aunt, everyone looked so good! Seemed lipstick was the only makeup item that stood out, their looks were pretty but not overdone. Yet they were groomed with care for a simple family dinner.
Contrast that with spending 6 hours at the Las Vegas airport the other night. I sat there in complete shock at how incredibly bad we look as a society, the craving for comfort seems to be the only goal. The way people dress, sit, walk - what happened?? 🫣
Thanks for sharing this! My daughter and I talk about this a lot, how bad a lot of women dress in public and the lack of care they take to look put together, especially as a wife and mom. I often say, "Jeans take just as long to put on as sweats." It's really not that hard to keep sweats at home. I would love if everyone respected others, and themselves, more by taking time to get dressed before they went out of the house. 👍
What happened is that it now takes two people to barely make ends meet…no me time as we pursue college degrees full time around full time jobs around kids and a side hustle….
@jilliansherrard2152 - Good point. Some women are just doing too much, and that's a shame.
My grandmother who raised me was an ER Nurse. There was only her paycheck but I never went hungry or needed anything. She would budget and save. Old pants that were too short became above the knee shorts. She would sew buttons and darn socks, nothing was wasted. She taught me to be happy with my looks and what was truly important in life. My grandmother took me to Church every Sunday. Unfortunately, the young people today are not taught these important lessons.
Busy people. I was a busy person in my 20’s and 30’s with foster kids and my own son and working. But I thought about what I wore. But that was in the late 80’s and 90’s .
I went to get my haircut a few weeks ago and this young beautician told me that anything goes these days as far as how we dress and look.
Doesn’t matter what you were or how your hair is. Sounded odd but what do I know I’ll be 60 next month and things were different. I guess when I was growing up and raising my son and foster kids and working.
Can we get a vintage hair tutorial? This looks so cute 😍
Yes! Love this grandma editions!
Yes please I agree! Vintage hairstyle tutorial please
Yes!!
Yes please a hair tutorial would be great 😊
Yes please ❤
Vaseline is used to keep leather from cracking as it ages. So no wonder its great for OUR skin as well.
I used to use it on my leather patent leather shoes I had growing up to keep them from cracking. It worked.
Dorothy Dandridge, Eartha Kitt, Lena Horne!!! Super iconic also.❤ All beautiful ladies.
I was thinking of the same women. Also Rita Moreno and Diahann Carroll. 🥰
Representation is everything!
Oh gosh, Lena Horne. There was never anyone more striking. Stunning woman.
Exactly!!!! Was about to comment this. Black women are beautiful too!!!
@@lmiller6675 Black women are now and always have been absolutely stunning.
The fact that our grandmothers had beautiful skin from using Vaseline and cold cream becomes even more impressive when you remember everyone drank a ton of alcohol and smoked (even while pregnant. They didn’t know. Doctors were smoking, too.)
They still smoke, this is Doctors, not all but some do. That is addiction.
They ate a much better diet, though.
@jesussaves6625 Not all, remember that some lived through the great depression. Other come from very poor countries, were food was and is very limited.
@@crybebebunny Even women who lived thrush the Great Depression ate better than women today. I was referring primarily to the Western world, though, as I imagine those people were the ones with access to the products in the video.
I don’t wear too much makeup but I bet I have more makeup in my drawer than my grandmother owned in her whole life.She removed her makeup with ponds, washed with dove or ivory soap and used the cheapest oil of olay on her face. She looked better at 74:than I do at 64!
PONDS!!!
I'm 64, too and I used everything your grandma did when I was young.
She probably didn’t go out in the sun very much or wore a hat when she did.
Did she work outside her home?
I have to admit that the grandmother generation and the one before, had not such a polluted environment with so much cars, planes, medical restpeasces in the water, no pesticides on the food, not so much or no supermarket and allready prepared food. Etc.
That is a huge difference.
60 year old retired beauty therapist... I've used all sorts of cleansers. Still go back to Ponds cold cream. Love it.
For exfoliation, try dry brushing. You need to buy a boar bristle brush. Brush from the wrist to shoulder, and ankle to hip. It feels good and also stimulates the lymphatic system.
After trying many pricey makeup removers and creams, I finally decided to try Ponds Cold cream again at age 50 remembering my great grandmother, who at age 101 (I was 32) had the most beautiful skin with barely a wrinkle. She told me then she used Ponds when I asked her secret. My skin has dramatically improved over the last three years since using Ponds and I wish now I had taken her advice twenty years ago. That sweet darling lived to 102. Thanks galore for your Grandma tips.
I use coconut oil to remove makeup! And ponds to moisturize :)
I was going to comment the same thing, whatever they put in Ponds (grandma) and a little later , Olay ( my mom) did the trick. I remember those products being the not just the Holy Grail, but the ONLY Grail…and otherwise, maybe a red lipstick and powder and foundation, and eyebrow pencil that were probably past expiration…but none of them had more than a small drawer or cabinet with a handful of items.

I use Lancome make up remover, works great
Another video with amazing vintage look. What a pleasure for the eyes!
Dressing nicely is respect to yourself and others, and doesn’t take much effort or money.
Not just to go out and put your best foot forward, but always with no exceptions
At home by yourself as well.
Just like my grandma always did…
As someone who did not have a grandmother in their growing up every day life - love this old wisdom thank you 🙏🏼
I just turned 40 and i started using Nivea in the blue metal tub from Germany and it made a big difference in my face and body. I even put it on my hair ends as a treatment. I have very sensitive skin and it doesn't make me break out at all. Silk pillowcases do make a difference!
Thank you for the tips the ideas.
Looking for less expensive face products very sensitive skin dry been using clarins foundation or lancome or others help!
@@bootsiekeegan4401...Polish or russian creams are very good and very inexpensive. NIVEA cream in a white tub is very quick absorbing, not greasy, suits my sensitive skin very well. Why not try baby creams or natural ? Like WILLEDA calendula cream 🤔 or similar. Good luck.
@@bootsiekeegan4401Nivea creme can't be beat! Elizabeth Arden 8 hour creme is good too. Pure almond oil is a wonderful skin softener...
@@bootsiekeegan4401lots of people like Tallow balm (Vintage Traditions)
Water, Noxema, St. Ives apricot scrub are my go to's. Most importantly, a smile and kindness. 1 Pet. 3:3-4 - Don't try to make yourselves beautiful on the outside, with stylish hair or by wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes. Instead, make yourselves beautiful on the inside, in your hearts, with the enduring quality of a gentle, peaceful spirit. This type of beauty is very precious in God's eyes."
More importantly , all those qualities show through! Beauty lite within !!!❤
I have switched to a satin pillow case and it has made a great difference on the hair loss!
Thank you for this classy video. Your number 11 was perfect. Young women today need to hear that they are good enough and their body is a temple that needs to be cared for. Confidence is beautiful.
No matter what back then women were very graceful
My first visit for this Channel, I’ve subscribed and hit the 🔔 within 10 minutes.
This lady is so pretty and her voice is so caring and confident, I will now watch more ❤
Same 😂
Just stumbled upon this! I am a grandma and I loved learning from my grandma and I miss her so much! I would be very interested in more "lessons from grandma" videos! You did such a good job!
I am 62. Your channel is very nostalgic and I have subscribed. I love history. I was a teenager in the 70's. Nivea and Ponds were still a big deal then, too. Unfortunately, my grandmother died when I was 12...so I never got to spend much time with her. I do remember she used Ponds Cold Cream. That I do recall. The Glam from the 40's - 70's was an amazing time in our history. I guess I'm an OLD FART now...and miss those simpler times and our innocence. I look forward to seeing a video about the cosmetic vintage secrets. I'll look around. You probably already made one. Great Channel!
Other things our grandmas did was homemade from scratch bone bone (collagen rich), raw dairy and red meat! It makes a HUGE difference in weight and younger looking skin!
Bone broth? I wholeheartedly agree. They wasted NOTHING.
Meat surely will not give you good skin as it burdens the gut and kidneys.
They just called it broth. If we need to rebrand it, fine.
I think red meat is healthy
This style really suits you. I adore that house dress you're wearing!! Embroidery is so underappreciated today. I love it! ❤
The only thing is that most of these products that our grandmas used to use have changed their formula, like Ponds. 😢
They have changed yes, also food has changed. Most is not as healthy today.
🇦🇺
True. Ponds changed their formula a couple years ago, and now I find it irritates my skin. Judging from other comments I've seen, that seems to be a common thing.
Thank you for this. Sophia Loren said she only washed her face with warm water. No soap or cleanser. And she always moisturized with olive oil. Plain olive oil. One the wealthiest and most iconically beautiful women in the world, and she used ONLY water and olive oil. Interesting, because my Grandmother ( born in 1901) said the same thing to my mother. My mother passed it on to me.i still never ever use soap on my face. Ive never had a regimen for my face until the last couple years. Im 69 years old. Honestly, I have no wrinkles. A few teeny lines in the corners if my eyes. And I have inheritrd puppet lines that Ive had mostof my life. But I'm not wrinkled on my face. These days I do use an organic vitAmin C and E serum, high amounts of C because vitamin C makes collagen.and I use a hyaluronic acid serum on top of the vitamins. I do that when I think of it, maybe twice a week. I get the vitami serum on ebay for about $13.00. Organic. It lasts 6 months to a year. 2 oz. I get the hyaluronic acid ( its not "acid" like we think of it ), at Ulta or ebay...the brand is C The Ordinary. Costs about $8 on ebay with free shipping. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. I also use this maybe twice a week. Sometimes less, sometimes none for weeks. Sometimes 3 times a week. Im pretty sloppy about being consistent. Lol. Its a new thing for me...main point here is Ive never used soap and only warm water...a couple times a year Ill do a good scrub with cinnamon or salt, and olive oil. I live in Southern Calif and I NEVER use sunscreen, for specific reasons based on things Ive studied about it. I think we need sunshine. Sunshine makes vitamin D for our skin. Ive spent my whole life in the sun, ocean and gardens and farms. Just sayin'. No wrinkles. I have 2 sisters younger than me by 8 and 9 years. They use " products". They are very wrinkled on their faces. They look 5 to 10 years older than me. I have another sister who is 4 years older than me, uses no "products" except Ivory soap and maybe an occasional Noxema. No sunsceen. Is in the sun outside constantly chopping wood, watering garden, fishing, etc. She has only a few wrinkles. I know we all are different and our skin is not all the same. But for me, in my life Ive seen the sun being pushed as unhealthy, and a zillion face care products sold as necessary...and what Ive seen is that people I know plus myself, that just use ivory soap or Dove type soap or no soap on their face, along with a natural oil, have no skin cancers and no wrinkles up into theit 70s. I'm really loving reading all the tips and successes from you all in these comments. I love hearing your stories. And mostly I love all the memories of family, how our great grandmothers and grandmothers and mothers passed down the basic beauty secrets because there was no L'Oreal or Beverly Hills models with their own product lines. Lol lol. By the way, i wartched an interview of J Lo. She said she only uses olive oil on her skin. Lol lol. I'm wishing us all happy and pretty lives :) , by whatever works for each of us.
That was very encouraging and informative! Thank you for sharing your story about yourself and family. Sometimes less is more and it will show on our faces over time.
I never use soap on my face either, just water. Sometimes I use a soft baby wash cloth. And if I need moisture on my facial skin I rub in a tiny bit of olive oil. i have very sensitive skin so that's all I can do anyway.
Some people have a tendency toward dry skin and a wash with warm water would suffice, but for us oily skin types we need to actually wash with a cleansing agent. I saw Sophia Loren in Providence a few years back. What a fun, fun night!
I am actually quite surprised you didn't mention Tallow. That's the oldest and best thing you can do for you skin. I am actually in the process of producing and selling my own.
What exactly is it?
@@coybiunless specified, it’s rendered animal fat, usually from cows, sheep, and pigs
This was so cool!! My grandmother (She was born in the 20's) used to esfoliate with a homemade cream of green clay (super cheap), water, honey and almond oil!! It was awesome. She also used nivea :D (blue tin) and also used olive oil for the face. Yeah they know how to get things done
If you need to sleep on your side, just use a silk or satin pillow cases. Works like magic.
It's always confused me that women used to have incredible skin when they drank, smoked and didn't wear any sunscreen. My Grandma's skin was incredible.
I would say it's pollution and eating junk food but men's skin looks pretty good and they literally do nothing except wash it with soap or any old crap.
Hmmm... could it be we're being scammed? (spoiler: yes)
Yes, we really are being scammed ( greed) but the sun is worse now.. we’ve gotten rid of the ozone layer!
Umm I don't know about scammed.. but I do think that unhealthy lifestyle habits affect women more in the short run than men (men more in the long run), mainly our hormonal health and that reflects on our skin and hair. So people before leading a healthy life is a huge contribution.
Good genetics too.
@@user-mx9dl8mq7i I disagree. I’m a college student, and unhealthy lifestyle choices seems to effect everyone regardless of gender. As for hormones. I agree to an extent. Women who give birth tend to age a bit faster due to the fluctuation in hormones, but I’ve seen many young guys on campus who look way older because their associated hormonal conditions started early ie. male pattern baldness, dad bod, wrinkles, etc. that’s why I think people age about the same in general, but in women it’s more noticeable in the short term because lack of youth is more scrutinized in women.
My Grandmother many years ago shared her "secret" of egg and mayo, mixed together, then put the 'thickened mixture ' on your hair, wrap it up and let it sit for a bit, wash. I tried it, I'm not kidding it's some of the best conditioner EVER. Since I have heard it is a "Hollywood" secret, yet Nanny knew about it way back then!
What’s the ratio of Mayo to egg?
@@Ama.921 I do 1 egg and several tablespoons of mayo, adding until it's a runny (not liquid) lotion consistency, then I scoop it with my hands and start at the scalp area working my way through the ends, wrap it up and let it sit for about 20 minutes, rinse well and shampoo as normal. It feels so good to have that on your scalp, it's cool and so soothing, it really is AMAZING (doesn't smell the best but it isn't as bad as you'd think) my hair is so manageable, soft without the weight of modern day conditioners, and lm not even joking, the growth is INSANE. I lost a bunch when I had cancer and now I am on a daily maintenance cancer preventative and it has wreaked havoc on my hair, skin, nails and teeth and made me SO self conscious... my hair wouldn't grow and broke a lot even using high dollar salon stuff .. my hair now grows so fast, it's to my waist and every 2ish months I'm having to cut it to keep it from growing too long. Literally everywhere I go I get compliments in my hair and how pretty and healthy it is. I use this about once every 4-6 weeks ( a 'mommy' break time) and it gives me about 40 minutes to pamper myself, read a book or watch a show and w the egg and mayo, no one cares that I'm in another room .LOL
(Another thing I do) I also use fresh aloe straight from the plant on my face, after I clean my face I rub the 'leaf" (?) on my face and neck ( it has even helped with the scar across the entire front of my neck from cancer surgery, it's less noticable and people don't stare at my scare like they did) and it has turned my skin into soft, healthy, youthful skin. It helps fight aging and it has totally transformed my skin. The effects of my meds on my face are no longer there. Because of using it straight from the actual plant not "in" a product, I'm not having to buy creams ... and they sale HUGE stalks at grocery stores, less than 2 dollars for a 'ginormous' leaf that will last months. You can store it under the counter in a dark place but I keep mine in the fridge and it's so soothing to put that cool aloe in my face and hands... my five yo said i had soft baby skin just like her😊 , again not in a product just cut off a slice, and rub that cool aloe all over your face, around your eyes ... it's amazing. All tips from my grandma handed down from hers, and they are timeless and pennies on the dollar. I'm sorry this is so long, I just wanted to share time tested and true old time secrets with you. I love that Hollywood thought they had a secret w the egg/mayo conditioner/mask and my grandma told me about it when I was 12 and had gotten a bad perm that killed my hair and I'm 50ish ... And she had learned it from her granny. Isn't that precious?!
I hope these help, works on ANY hair/skin type, all natural, pennies on the dollar that are TRULY pampering and we all deserve that.
Have a wonderful week, be blessed and safe .. if you try it, will you reply back to this and let me know what you think?!?!
Be blessed my friend
@@Stephanie-kt9vh so you do that prior to wash your hair not after and just every 4 - 6 weeks?
@@decflowerful I do it before... I mean I wash my hair usually twice a week, but I do the deep conditioning before my wash. I let it soak in my hair 20-30 minutes then my usual routine. I have done it once a month, but, I have a 11,5 and 3 year old so I have gone to about every 6ish weeks.
You definitely would want to do it before you wash, it soaks into the hair so it's getting the protein, but you certainly wouldn't want to have egg and mayo in it following a shampoo, especially with the heat. Although now that I think about it, that may well be a way to get my kiddos into bed easier, especially the 2 oldest, they think it's gross and are happy to be in another room ...LOL
Hope this helps. Have a wonderful weekend my friend.
@@Stephanie-kt9vh 😀 since you have got the benefits from doing it, I'll just follow your way. Thx my friend, God bless!🙏
Side sleeping has really made my eyebrow furrows even deeper. I wish i could coffin sleep
I use organic coconut oil and olive oil on my skin. There are way to many mystery ingredients in over the counter creams. Also, a Frankincense and Castoroil mix is a power house for multiple things, including wrinkles. 😊q
Me too. The cleaner and simpler, the better.
I LOVE LOVE this video, I am 72 and have used Pond’s cold cream for over 50 years and my skin is smooth, and I have been told I look at least in my 50’s. I also use a grapefruit and coconut scrub and my skin actually glows.😊 my grandmother always had lotion on her vanity and used it at night it was from Avon. I use only Dove soap on my face, I love the smell and the way my skin feels. I learned many things from my grandmother I wish I had paid more attention
Do you make your own scrub? If so, would you share it? Thank you. 😊
Grapefruit probably exfoliates your skin, which is good, but citrus fruit oils also make the skin more photosensitive, or more susceptible to damage from the sun, which is bad. But I have to say, how we age really doesn’t have anything to do with the products we use, it’s mostly genetics.
My mom was a huge believer in vaseline. She would slather it all over our faces before we walked to school on winter mornings, to “protect from wind chap”….and this was before vaseline was available unscented. Ugh. It was awful.
Cold cream is a very old invention and has been used at least since ancient Roman times (it was called Galen cream, after a famous Roman doctor).
@@ichibonfriend2923 I drank, I smoked, and I was a tanner, since my teenage years. The pools, the beach in the summer, and tanning salons in winter. I stopped in my mid 30’s. I have a friend who avoided the sun like a vampire. She’d wear long sleeves, hats, and 70+ sunblock, and lecture me on how she was still going to look good when she was older and I’d look like one of those old ladies from Florida with leathery skin. Here we are now, technically older, and she looks much older than I do. Even though she’s had dermabrasion and other procedures. I had some superficial sun damage, but Tretinoin cream fixed that. It also helps with fine lines, so I think using the right products does help, but they aren’t going to work miracles. My mother and her sisters aged well too….though someone just told me it’s the 60s when the real aging starts - and there is no stopping it!!
Absolutely 100% agree about Pond's cold cream! It IS old fashioned, but it also REALLY works great! I also love Jergen's cold cream. It comes in a PINK tub and looks really out-dated!! But it is fantastic to remove make up without pulling your skin (esp around eyes) or overdrying your face. Also, it is cheap!!
My mom had the most beautiful skin at 88. She always moisturized her face while in her bath/shower directly after washing while her skin was still wet. She always used Avon Moisture Therapy cream in a big blue and white tub. She called it, " creaming her face"
I follow those tricks, I was fortunately raised by my grandma. I sleep on my back too, you shouldn't have a very tall pillow and the more soft the best ( its good for face drenage ). I don't smoke or drink. And the less you make up, the best too...the list is just enourmous 😉 coconut cream.
Yes, please make more videos like this. Would love a vintage hair tutorial! Love these
You’re such a breathe of fresh air. Old school approach to beauty and self-respect has always proven itself to be effective, timeless and more advantageous compared to the standards of today that cling more to what’s trendy and temporary and actually self-sabotaging. Confidence, self-respect, respect for others and proper amount of moisturizer is key. 😉💋
Of all the thousands of different under makeup skin preps, Nivea is the best and cheapest I have tried. It helps my dry skin and hides the pores perfectly so whatever foundation I use, works!
As for Ponds and Dove original, they are the best. Even my physician recommends them.
Love the old fashioned look❤
I ❤ dry brushing for exfoliation of the body and face.
If you use Noxema, Dove, Ponds cold cream, and Oil Of Olay you are using the best and most timeless products of all times!
I absolutely 💯 percent agree with this video. You are spot on about the things we learn from our past generations of women. Love your hair and makeup 💄 to go right along with the whole vibe of this video! Thanks for sharing ❤
Your videos are fun and helpful. I use Dove beauty bar (the fragrance free one) It is a lovely product. Johnson's Baby Shampoo is another good one. My mom used Pond's Cold Cream. I use it too. When I was a little girl I loved to watch my mom apply her make up. She wore a little powder, light pink blush, eye brow pencil and light pink lipstick. She had a beautiful complexion even at 92 when she passed. Thank you for posting this video. xo, Karen
Great video! This reminded me of my lovely, 😅late grandma and all the tips she used to share with my sisters and I. My eyes welled up listening to you, but they were happy tears - so many lovely and cosy memories.
Thank you for sharing this video ❤️
Sending best wishes from England ❤️🇬🇧❤️
I love all these pearls of wisdom but keep in mind all the products that our grandmothers used (Vaseline, dove soap, etc) are not the same formulas as they were when our grandmas used them. They have toxic chemicals in them now (preservatives, etc) that are harmful for your health. It’s best to go for the pure, organic versions - virgin coconut or olive oil, shea butter instead of Vaseline, castor oil soap, coconut based soap, and drinking spring water (tap water and even “purified” or “distilled” water is full of fluoride and chlorine nowadays). There are some great organic face lotions/creams out there now and you can even find affordable ones too.
You are fabulous! Brave to be yourself and honest- a great role model to our young girls- kudos- I sent it to my granddaughters😉
Yes, I agree for a lot of this… very good! Thank you:)
Ponds cold cream is the best!!!
My grandmother born 1900 used Ponds cold cream and moisturizer, Dove beauty bar and Breck egg shampoo. My mom used Oil of Olay original lotion in the pink bottle. I use Nivea cream on my face at night.
I love Nivea too! :)
I had a dermatologist say that the dove sensitive bar is the ONLY thing you should ever wash your face with.
My mom used Oil of Olay and never looked her age. Now I'm using it, the Original lotion.
My mom used egg whites as a face mask! I started using it again and has helped with my hormonal acne.
Love this video! I have been using Pond's cold cream and moisturizer for a few years, as well as Witch Hazel for a toner. They just feel right for my skin. I am seventy-eight years old, should have started using them sooner, but happy that I finally did start.
Love this video! I keep a tub of organic coconut in my bathroom and use it as a makeup remover balm. We also keep our AC on 67 at night to sleep better. I do like my blankets as well, but having the room cold works so well.
I agree with everything you are saying! It works!
I’m a no make up, hoodie and hiking pants kind of gal, but I still found your video highly entertaining and interesting. Thanks for putting in the effort it takes to make a video like this. Much enjoyed.
My grandmother used the blue jar of Nivea (which she pronounced as ni-VEAH-ah in her German accent). She had incredibly youthful skin until she died at 95 +. Another German senior I knew also used Nivea. I always thought it was too thick and greasy. Then I bought Creme de la Mer. It felt almost like Nivea! I prefer the Nivea Soft. I only use creams because there's too much water in lotions.
I agree that this style suits you! You look so striking today, you just seem to glow. Love your blouse by the way.
Great video. Keep in mind, seed oils (you mentioned canola oil😮) is very inflammatory. Stay away from those. 😊
You are absolutely correct, I am a hairstylists and still do some of the vintage hair, traditional, modern,lost art, the older generation of women are to be admired, Yes many use the products you mentioned and have beautiful skin, I do a lady’s hair that’s 97 who has been using dove and ponds many years, said that a doctor told her to use it because of skin issues.
Also the cotton button up shirts, what you have on🥰I was told are hard to find now
Loved this! Such a fun video. I also use coconut oil for removing eye makeup and smoothing hair flyaways. I keep a jar of organic coconut oil in my bathroom! Has saved me a lot of money too. 😊
AWESOME VIDEO. BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMMORIES FROM GRANDMA!!!
My mom always told me to apply my mositurizer in an upward motion so i didnt get wrinkles like her lol. She was like "im teaching you now so you can prevent this". Bc deep set wrinkles on our cheeks and forehead are so prominent in our family. They even have a name for it 😂 "The Shumate Sag"
I loved this video and so many true points. My grandmother used so many of the things that you talked about. Great job on this video and even looked the part.
Love vintage beauty secrets! So happy your channel popped up!
Absolutely loved hearing all of this! I see You have videos on old fashioned ways to house keep & be frugal, I am going to watch those next :)
I am 27 and just discovered the magical power of the Ponds cold cream. I am now a believer
Watch from the beginning to the end I am new to your channel and I really enjoyed the chitchat today. I can’t believe that I stayed with it and watch the whole video really got a lot out of it. As you saw by all my comments.
I stumbled onto your channel yesterday and I am loving all your videos - I appreciate the tips or I should say reminders of my Grammy's ways of doing things. My mother rejected all her ways sadly so it took my longer than I wish to admit to remember so many - thrifting was my favorite activity with her since she taught me that the older things had more craftsmanship and would outlast all the garbage produced today. So I say thank you so much for all the work you put in gathering this information - and if any grandmothers want to adopt a NE TN lady willing to learn from them hit me up :) - all I want is to learn the ways of the past that I may not have in my arsenal - nothing more.
Love this segment
I really like these "dress up" videos. Such a beautiful and demure style is something that should be brought back to the norm.
Vaseline, Dove Beauty Bar, Ponds Cold Cream 😂 these are used in theatre too so much!! I was also 14 and using Ponds lol
So true! We used Abilene at Disney instead of Ponds but that and the smell of the Max Factor Pan Stick take me back.
12:17 Yes! Love this knowledge. Many thanks for sharing it. 🙂
Ponds! I love that stuff. The only thing that fully gets off waterproof mascara and heavy stage makeup, I swear.
So happy to have just discovered your channel. What a great video. Love Ponds cream & Dove soap.
Couldn’t agree more, there are past values and knowledge we shouldn’t let go
Love you so much! Thank you for sharing!
You have 8 kids, look stunning and have humility. Love!
Wonderful video! ✨💖 Thank you! ❤️
New subscriber I absolutely adore and I'm so thankful that I found this You are amazing cannot wait to watch the rest of your videos thank you your friend always Wendy 💜🙏
I’m a Ponds cold cream user too! My grandmother and mother still use it to this day. Vaseline is a beauty staple in my households lol our grandma’s knew! I’m glad grandma’s beauty secrets were instilled in me! Saves tons of money for this frugal, stay at home momma!
Great video! Love that this was suggested for me!
Best video I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks 😊
Hi Angela, thanks for the time stamp. I've had this video on my watch later for months and finally watched it tonight. I'm also a new sub after this video. Cheers. ❤🎉
Satin or silk pillowcases are crucial for coily/curly/wavies!
I have that and I put it in a giant scrunchie on top of my head. That lifts the roots overnight and then in the daytime I can revive the crown area with a spritz of water, maybe a bit more product.
Hello & thank you for a very enjoyable segment. I will be subscribing along with sharing your remembrance of things that worked for our grandmas.
My new favorite-nostalgic smart, well done channel . Bravo.
I use daily in the face, organic rose water mixed with linseedoil. It's super.
Wash clothes are great for gentle exfoliating. Ugh, when i was an adolescent and early adulthood I used St.Ives Apricot Scrub😱
Shine beautiful from the inside out.💛🌺
Thank you , I have just come across your channel now loved the content. ✨🌹✨💕
My grandma used Dove soap & Ponds cold cream. When she passed away a month before her 99th birthday, she had the most beautiful, young looking skin.
Love love loving these videos!
I love these videos, thank you!
Beautiful! Great tips. Blessings!🙏👍
