Um, because it is awesome. Really though, all our styles and fashions imitate the past. Apparently we think they had some pretty fab ideas back then. Hepburn, Monroes, Jackie O, Davis (Bette, that is) just to name a few we admire and adore them. <br /><br /><br />But let&#39;s look back farther into history though past the American glory days and direct our attention to the topic at hand; skincare. I take you now east, far east. Back to a time and place where people began...<br /><br /><br />What did we do before parabens, propylene glycol, petroleum? Before science labs and esteemed chemists? Why nature of course! We knew that what was meant for eating was also good for beautifying skin and hair. It was a simple time. Now a days things are much more complicated, for whatever reason. Synthetic chemicals invade our skincare and our planet and for some reason many of us stand silently by. <br /><br /><br />Well Arden &amp; Angelina refuse to comply. Never will you be required to study chemistry to understand the ingredients. Products are handmade and poured the old fashioned way with only the finest, purest ingredients. All vegan, all natural and all green made from sunshine and rainbows. The only way to go for fresh, clean skincare. <br /><br />www.ardenangelina.comArden &amp; Angelinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666027653351429355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686788127314529613.post-89639892390932559902011-02-22T01:51:47.859Z2011-02-22T01:51:47.859Zam a tad to late on this one, I switched to the boots cold cream a couple of weeks ago and love it.<br />Wash my face with clarins soap which lasts forever and use my gold cream &amp; boots rosewater toner...I do keep out of th sun tho too as am scared of too many wrinkles xxMiss Matildahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00079027698709659782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686788127314529613.post-37566659020909674952010-11-08T15:29:43.115Z2010-11-08T15:29:43.115ZI also love Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream.

Yes, I do love the Boots Orginal line. I spotted it at Target, oh I don&#39;t know close to a year ago or so. I totally fell for the vintage packaging. Also the thought that they have been around for many years. So they most likely have perfected the formulas that preserved our Grandmothers skin for so long. What I can say is that, not only is the packaging swell. The products really work for me as well. Since then I have switched from Ponds to Boots!<br /><br />XO,<br />Syd Divine"The Golden Girl of the West"http://www.blogger.com/profile/06561883569568583174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686788127314529613.post-6215602082355948962009-07-30T08:42:16.932+01:002009-07-30T08:42:16.932+01:00Thank-you for this article, Fleur - it was very helpful. For starters, it reminded me I needed to go buy some more Witch Hazel and, while I was at it, I bought some cold cream, too. (And found out that Ponds is no longer Ponds in Australia, but Dove!)<br />I&#39;ve been tempted by the Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour cream but it does cost quite a bit. Maybe I&#39;ll convince someone to get me a gift. Haha.<br />-Andi xAndi B.

I am just a bit worried. I tried Jergen&#39;s cold cream once in replace of Pond&#39;s and it broke me out so horribly! So basically I have been sticking with Ponds.

There really is no comparable drugstore here in the US, and I got very spoiled during my years in the UK.<br /><br />It&#39;s so true that the simplest things are the best. I&#39;ve been using a simple lavender soap on my face day and night for a few years now, and I get a blemish maybe a twice a year, if that. I also use straight aloe vera as a moisturizer, and I find it is wonderful for making your face feel fresh and soft all day!sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11507514520185331116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686788127314529613.post-38316062220413759052009-07-29T16:56:54.877+01:002009-07-29T16:56:54.877+01:00Okay, now I have to find a way to get my hands on Boots!

I find the best thing is.. Simple soap (rrp 99p)! I use Simple soap in the morning and in the evening I use a Neal Yards gentle facial scrub/cleanser as a bit of a treat. I also use a Neals Yard frankinsence moisturiser.
