...there is always NOXEMA. Remember Noxema, actual Noxema?
I used to put this stuff on my face and leave it on for a long time, sort of a poor (wo)man's version of a mask...I would envision it burning out the zits...and it did help wake me up, that sizzling minty stuff.
Well, so much hip and exciting stuff has come about now for the home face washing, alpha hydroxy acids, scrubbing beads, blackhead eraser machines, biore pore strips...that poor old Noxema kind of seemed like maybe it was bad or --gasp!--"clogging". but I miss it! So I got some and WOO it is great!
When i first wake up, all puffy and horrified looking and feeling, I pull my hair back and put that on. As it fries my senses into morning-dom with its blaring Eucalyptus-y goodness, I make the coffee. When the coffee is done, I put in the cream and sugar, take the hot cup to the bathroom, and scrub off the Noxema with a cold washcloth. Or hot. Depends. Then with my bright pink minty soft face I drink the coffee. Success!

It's been years since I've used this stuff. I think I tried everything there was when I was a teenager (everything in my meager budget that is). Thanks for the reminder. I could certainly use a pick-me-up occasionally since I don't drink coffee. :)
Hey, I tagged you. The rules are over on my blog. :)
Hmmm...maybe I'll try wearing it as I walk around...because lately when I use Noxema it feels like my face is covered in slime that I cannot get off unless I wash it again with some other kind of soap....I thought I was going crazy and was close to switching to those stylish oxy pads. =)
Wow. You might be interested in what Paula Begoun www.thecosmeticscop.com has to say about Noxzema. Your face is pink because you've irritated the crap out of it...and new research is indicated irritation can lead to wrinkles (along with sun damage). It might feel great and perky (I remember it too!), but it's not a great thing for your skin. Sorry, LOL, I'm a bit of a cosmetics geek, LOL.
