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'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.

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 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

Can we get a vintage hair tutorial? This looks so cute 😍

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?? 🫣

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! ❤

Vaseline is used to keep leather from cracking as it ages. So no wonder its great for OUR skin as well.

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.

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.)

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.

Dorothy Dandridge, Eartha Kitt, Lena Horne!!! Super iconic also.❤ All beautiful ladies.

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!

I have switched to a satin pillow case and it has made a great difference on the hair loss!

60 year old retired beauty therapist... I've used all sorts of cleansers. Still go back to Ponds cold cream. Love it.

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!

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!

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

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!

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.

The only thing is that most of these products that our grandmas used to use have changed their formula, like Ponds. 😢

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."

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 ❤

Side sleeping has really made my eyebrow furrows even deeper. I wish i could coffin sleep

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!

This style really suits you. I adore that house dress you're wearing!! Embroidery is so underappreciated today. I love it! ❤

If you need to sleep on your side, just use a silk or satin pillow cases. Works like magic.

No matter what back then women were very graceful

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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"

Yes, please make more videos like this. Would love a vintage hair tutorial! Love these

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!!

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.

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)

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 the old fashioned look❤

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"

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 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.

My mom used egg whites as a face mask! I started using it again and has helped with my hormonal acne.

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.

Love this segment

I love Nivea too! :)

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.

Love vintage beauty secrets! So happy your channel popped up!

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

Yes, I agree for a lot of this… very good! Thank you:)

AWESOME VIDEO. BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMMORIES FROM GRANDMA!!!

I ❤ dry brushing for exfoliation of the body and face.

Vaseline, Dove Beauty Bar, Ponds Cold Cream 😂 these are used in theatre too so much!! I was also 14 and using Ponds lol

My mom used Oil of Olay and never looked her age. Now I'm using it, the Original lotion.

Wonderful video! ✨💖 Thank you! ❤️

Ponds cold cream is the best!!!

Love you so much! Thank you for sharing!

I agree with everything you are saying! It works!

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 :)

Love love loving these videos!

Great video! Love that this was suggested for me!

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. 😊

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.

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

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 ❤

12:17 Yes! Love this knowledge. Many thanks for sharing it. 🙂

You are fabulous! Brave to be yourself and honest- a great role model to our young girls- kudos- I sent it to my granddaughters😉

Best video I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks 😊

I love these videos, thank you!

So happy to have just discovered your channel. What a great video. Love Ponds cream & Dove soap.

I had a dermatologist say that the dove sensitive bar is the ONLY thing you should ever wash your face with.

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 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.

Great video. Keep in mind, seed oils (you mentioned canola oil😮) is very inflammatory. Stay away from those. 😊

I am 27 and just discovered the magical power of the Ponds cold cream. I am now a believer

Beautiful! Great tips. Blessings!🙏👍

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.

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. 😉💋

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!

I agree that this style suits you! You look so striking today, you just seem to glow. Love your blouse by the way.

Shine beautiful from the inside out.💛🌺

Ponds! I love that stuff. The only thing that fully gets off waterproof mascara and heavy stage makeup, I swear.

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 this stuff it’s great!

Thank you , I have just come across your channel now loved the content. ✨🌹✨💕

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. ❤🎉

This is a really great video!!!! Thank you!

Love love love! The dove soap reminds me of my Grandma so much! She always used it in her bath.

Couldn’t agree more, there are past values and knowledge we shouldn’t let go

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.

Loved your video and sending this to my daughter , thanks

love this!

Satin or silk pillowcases are crucial for coily/curly/wavies!

Love the vintage videos

This was a great video!!!
