Classic: Nivea Creme

Since launching in 1911, Nivea Creme has become a cult classic in womens skincare.

My Nana swore by it, having used it almost everyday since she was a teenager in the 1930s. At 87 she had great skin for her age, and she credited all to her little Nivea potion.

When I was packing away her belongings in June last year, there sat the pottle next to her bed - and as the beauty lover that I am - it brought a tear to my eye... that creme was there when she was playing hockey for Auckland, going to dances, helping with the war effort, riding on the back of my Granddad's motorbike and on her wedding day. And there that same creme was, as she lay there, having peacefully passed this world.

It made me think, not many products stand the test of an entire lifetime.

It smells gorgeous and has so much nostalgic value to me that I really love this product. And if it made my Nana look that good at 87 - I think it is definitely worth your while.
