Pat dry with towel.<br /><br />PM: <br />I usually shower at night so while waiting for the water to get warm I slather on some noxzema, slightly more then I used in the morning, again to dry skin. Massage well concentrating on areas with heavier makeup, eyes and cheeks. Then with wet hands massage with water to make it milky, which makes it easier to rinse or I use a warm cloth and remove makeup as I would with a makeup wipe. Proceed with shower as usual. Often using my apricot scrub gently.<br />Note: this is all I use to remove my makeup at the end of the day. The very very rare occasion I just repeat but I usually can just run the towel under my eyes when drying and all my makeup is removed no problem. I rarely use a cloth unless I want too ensure I don't get my clothes wet.<br /><br />My skin feels clean but not stripped.<br />I now really enjoy taking the extra time to cleanse my face. It's a little timeout and pampering session for my self. It really doesn't take much longer either.<br /><br />I read lots of vintage advertisements for noxzema that suggested to cleanse with noxzema and to also use as a night cream as well as lightly for a makeup base.<br />I was very hesitant but tried it, using just a small amount, and it actually works very well. My face doesn't feel greasy and my complexion is improving. <br />I now alternate this as a nightcream with a serum.<br />I also use a few times a week as a makeup base and it works great.<br /><br />I have been getting compliments lately and my usually very oily skin is more balanced then it has ever been. My complexion just seems overall brighter and fresher. I rarely even need to blot anymore. <br />Very satisfied. <br />I doubt I'll try anything else.

Got away from it, started using misc. skin care treatments. After husband died, for years I went into slump and neglected myself. (Had always been called 'beautiful', said I looked like Grace Kelly, moviestar, etc.) Now in 70's, skin just old looking so I think it is time I go bck to Noxema. Lady here I thought was too young to be in senior community - well, turns out she has been Noxema girl for umpteen years and swears by it! gUESS WHAT? I recently switcheck back to being a NOXEMA GIRL!!!!!!!!

It's not flaky, so as long as it's dry when you go to sleep feel free to flip and turn as normal; I did!
