> The closer I get to being regarded as a classic, the more I turn to the classics.

My skin and hair currently behave differently from they did in my 20s, 30s, and early 40s, but I'm still blithesome. So, even though skin and body care are continuously improving, I do not feel compelled to follow the current makeup or skincare trends, and instead, opt for products containing plant-based ingredients, especially natural oils.

[IMAGE: https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/millycf1976/Ep3dLG2pkkJdxHHANygXJrZ7pJpEEutRPPbNZ6aZ7dQcxEXKzQ7hHvJFaDd9fs4UUih.jpg] Since 1914

One particular product that I'll continue to use (in memory of my dad) is Noxzema.

Being well-groomed was an undeniable trait of my dad, and he liked to see clean and clear skin.
I cannot recall ever seeing his cabinet without a container of Noxzema, and when I last saw him, he shared half a tub and gave me this very one pictured above.

"What caused that pimple on your cheek?" asked Daddy.
Handing me his Noxzema, he continued, "Use some of this. Rub it in a fast, circular motion, which helps the skin to regenerate," he said.

All that time, I smiled, thinking, "I'm not that bothered. It will fade with time."

Retroactively, his advice was a blessing, and the distinctive scent of Noxzema brings back fond memories of him.

> After washing my face with Noxzema, it feels invigoratingly clean, without drying out my naturally dry skin.

Hydration and simple elegance are the key to looking fleeky, and a solid foundation starts with well-moisturised skin.

I drink a lot of water, and my go-to moisturiser is the Weleda cream, a certified natural skin care product.

I use the Skin Food Light in the daytime, and the original Skin Food at night, for a more intensive cell repair. Both make my face look plump and moist, and don't clog my pores. This product doesn't leave a film-like coating on the face, but instead absorbs deeply into the skin and works inside out.

When I returned to the UK in search of an effective and affordable product, I went to the popular Holland & Barrett health store and was introduced to the Weleda brand by the shop clerk. 
I haven't looked back.

> A single dab on the fingertips is all I need for my face and neck, so one tube lasts over a year.

I recently replaced these two, and it had been so long that I forgot the exact name.

I'd walked the aisles, failing to spot it. "I'm looking for the face cream called Well-ie-da—a reputable face cream in a green tube, I said to the cashier.

Eyes and ears in the shop perked, like they heard a familiar bell, and the cashier and a few customers repeated, 'Well-ie-da...?'
Perplexed.

The realisation dawned on them.

"Oh, 'Well-é-da', said the clerk.

A "classic" lady in the aisle said, "Here it is; I just picked up a tube."

We both beamed.

The skin of the lips is delicate.
I never ignore my lips.
Healthy-looking lips don't lie.
I am super self-conscious if my lips are dry.

> I sometimes use this vaseline in layers, because I find the original and the cocoa butter to be more moisturising.

[IMAGE: https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/millycf1976/23xKxZ1B6rmWCvG1NsXoK78pg1o2KeeWNG6RrWeHkKwvBPQehgzd4gYsvrar7hi5hZBxU.jpg]

However, the tinted moisturising gloss is a secret for rosy lips.
The hint of colour enhances the entire face and makes the lips look magnetically plump.

External beauty fades, but a beautiful soul remains.

My self-esteem can neither be bought nor diminished by society's skin-deep beauty standard, because I believe that the core of beauty lies in simplicity and intrinsic values.
Also, the war against women's 'shelf life' is difficult to win, conclusively; therefore, having a beauty regimen that requires you to break the bank is pointless.

So, I proudly recommend all the above economical products that I use daily for a natural and healthy glow.

What are your views on minimalist skincare routines, and what's your regimen for maintaining healthy skin?

As always, all the images included were taken by me, (on the 20th July, 2025).

Permit me to use the word "beautiful" after all these decades and clearly treating not just the body but mind with care and love does a lot of magic. It must feel great using a product that still connects you to your root.

You look much younger than your age and it's something to be happy about. Using natural products never crossed my mind and as a man with black skin, I use just vaseline and deodorant.

Glad to know today is your birthday as well, cheers to a beautiful age. I wish you continuous happiness, long life in good health and love... 🎂

More than you can imagine.

> You look much younger than your age, and it's something to be happy about.

I don't prioritise external beauty, but yes, I'm happy about it. While writing this, a YouTube video came on with a list of about 10 naturally beautiful celebrities who feel under the precious of Hollywood to change their looks to remain relevant. The procedures ruined their faces, and they've lost credibility in the industry.
It goes to show that having a healthy lifestyle and practising good self-care is the best way to save face in not only a harsh industry, but a harsh society.

> Glad to know today is your birthday as well.

😁😊 Very observant! Thank you! 😍

Many of those celebrities use surgeries just to look good and in the end, it backfires. Truly, a healthy lifestyle is the only legit way.

I hadn't heard of Noxzema, to my shame, but now I'm curious and looking for options existing in Romania. I see they have it here in the Czech Republic, but a bit wonky transporting it back home. Shall have to see. A good, non-drying, non-irritating, natural cleansing cream is hard to find. :)

'Stunning' does not even begin to describe it. If black don't crack was a person, it would be you. And it's amazing to see the effort you've put in to maintain this. Sticking to a few trusted products over the years.

It cannot be emphasised enough how that singular act of consistency can make the skin glow continuously. If and when I get to your gloriously gorgeous age, Milly, I would consider it a win looking just like you do. Happy Birthday.🥰❤️

I agree 100%
When I lived in the Philippines, I did project management on a construction site. My skin suffered from the dirt and I developedacne. It tookme a long while to get my skin back, following lengthy regimes. After a while, I realised that I could cut back with products and the steps, but be consistent with proper cleansing.

Thank you for the compliment and the lovely wishes.
Btw, it was nice to see you with your natural hair in your last post. It's great that you embrace it, despite whatever negative things people might say. You are beautiful just the way you are 😍❤️

Seriously, you look younger than your age. Those products have been around for decades and are still serving their purposes. I love when women pay attention to their skin and body, and at the same time, I don't like it when they go to the extreme, which to me is in excess. Beauty lies in the soul, not in physical appearance.

I have not been a fan of having different products for my skin care because I only go for one cream that does the whole function for my skin, and I love how it looks.
There was a time I bought a tube for my lips with the aim of making it pink but I guess it was the fake. Another reason I don't just go for these products because most of them could harm my skin.
Those are amazing products that you still use today.

Well, you have said it all there is no need to break the bank before looking good and I wish most women could understand that and also focus on their self than looking for a magical cream to glow once they use it.

I love all this product of yours ma’am and more so I don’t do much when it comes to looking good because I believe that inner peace is all I need and that has been working out for me for a very long time now.

I haven’t used any other products for years now except for the usual cream I use both for my body and face and still I look the same, that’s probably because I am still young anyway but I don’t plan changing my cream anytime soon anyway since my skin is cool with it.

> I don’t plan changing my cream anytime soon anyway since my skin is cool with it.

It's good to hear you say that. If a product works well for you, then stick to it.

Self-worth is everything. In recent times, I've encountered many young African women (mainly from Ghana and Nigeria) who live in the UK.
They're obsessed with applying layers of makeup, lashes, hair extensions and wigs, that are contrasting to their natural hair. They then saying that they feel beautiful after adding the fakeness (which hides their natural beauty).

One of them said to me, "Sorry, I don't want to seem rude, but how old are you? When I told her, she was shocked. She said she was puzzled because she was looking at a girl with an old lady vibe 🤣

Ageless beauty😍, I also opt for minimal and natural skin care products because I can't always deal with trying too many options. Thankfully, my skin is maintained this way. Just like you, the lotion I use was introduced to me by my mum. I'm married now with kids, and I'm sure I'll pass it on.

You share the same birthday with my sister @jessicaossom, Happy birthday ma. Wishing you many happy years in good health. Shine on!

Being introduced to the Weleda brand felt like a privilege for me.
When I lived here in the UK before, I always bought expensive products (sold as natural products) that sometimes caused me to break out.
I don't think I'd have noticed this one if it wasn't pointed out to me.
So, I can appreciate you wanting to pass down that special cream of yours to your daughter.😍
Thank you for the birthday wishes, and Happy Birthday to your sister. I know a few other people who celebrate their birthday today, too, and a few friends of mine did so yesterday:)))

One thing I’m definitely taking away from this is how much more effective a simple skincare routine can be, compared to a 10-step routine that feels more like a lab experiment than self-care, lol. I also really appreciate how you made a side note that skincare isn’t just topical. What we do internally, like staying hydrated, makes a huge difference too. It’s a reminder that how we treat our bodies shows up in our skin. I love saying this to my sister, "how you treat your skin, is how it treats you."

And honestly, I wish more people understood how helpful basic cleansing can be. A lot of breakouts are just clogged pores from dirt and oil buildup. Cleansing regularly does more than people give it credit. Of course, I know there are skin conditions that need a dermatologist’s help too, but starting with the basics really helps.

Like you, I keep it simple: wash my face morning and night, let the water dry slightly before applying my aloe vera moisturizer, and at night I use a dark spot treatment (I think it’s a 5% azelaic acid cream, but I’m not 100% sure because I always forget the number, haha).

Now, can we please take a moment to spotlight that radiant, glowing, ridiculously contagious smile of yours? You have a dimple! A whole dimple! You look amazing, Milly. And to think you’re in your 40s? Mind. Blown. Truly. I can only hope to have skin that glows and a smile that beams that bright when I get to that stage in life. 🧡

I tried something several years ago to help me restore my face that broke out with acne (from environmental pollution). It worked, but thankfully, I didn't become addicted to that routine and went back to a minimalist approach.

>You look amazing, Milly. And to think you’re in your 40s?

Thank you very much! I plan to enjoy and continue taking care of myself, and I'm looking forward to turning the big 'five oh' next year 😍

Hi @millycf1976, saw your post on @honeydew's blog. A belated happy birthday to a radiantly beautiful you!
Thank you for sharing these products here. I've never heard of Noxzema, but I see it is available in our country,
People spend thousands on their beauty regime, awfully wasteful! Often, these good old standbys do the same job!
I only use L'Oreal day and night cream (for the oldest skin possible), the jars last a couple of months and help fill some "crinkles" on my face, but I don't think all the money in the world can stave off gravity. At least it softens the sagging. No Botox for little old me, please!

Hi Lizelle!

That's well said 💯

> At least it softens the sagging. No Botox for little old me

And that's all you need to not shake your confidence. Self-acceptance is vital, and I don't think I'd ever go the Botox route.
I'm not surprised that Noxzema is there in your country, but I'm surprised that you didn't know about it before.

Finding my way back to these tried & tested brands has been a good revelation.
I don't think you could ever go wrong with L'Oreal.

Thank you for your lovely reply, and yes, I had a quiet and relaxing birthday! 😍

Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows

from Imgflip Meme Generator

from Imgflip Meme Generator

Friends, creators, truth-tellers—

Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.

There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.

On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.

Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.

On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.

And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.

But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.

It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.

Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.

Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.

So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:

If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.

The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.

And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.

Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.

Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.

And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.

@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:

Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.

Key Concerns:
1. Systemic Manipulation:
- Coordinated downvotes from high-HP accounts suppress dissent, creating a chilling effect on free expression.
- Automation and alt-account networks allegedly exploit rewards, distorting organic curation.

  1. Community Exodus:
    - Creators flee to platforms like Blurt, where downvotes don’t exist, fearing punitive curation over engagement.

  2. Governance Crisis:
    - Hive’s credibility hinges on accountability. Who decides what content thrives? How do we audit power structures?

Solutions Needed:
- Curation Transparency: Publish clear rationales for downvotes to foster trust.
- Community Audits: Leverage blockchain data (e.g., Bilpcoin’s analyses) to identify abusive patterns.
- Reward Reform: Adjust algorithms to penalize manipulation and reward authentic engagement.

The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.

Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.

A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates

Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.

from Imgflip Meme Generator

@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,

How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.

from Imgflip Meme Generator

@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.

Key Issues to Address:
1. Downvote Practices: Silencing dissent erodes trust. Constructive dialogue, not punitive curation, fosters growth.
2. Accountability: Transactions and curation trails are public. Scrutiny is inevitable—integrity demands addressing concerns openly.
3. Community Impact: Driving users to platforms like Blurt/Steemit weakens Hive. Creators seek ecosystems that value collaboration over conflict.

A Path Forward:
- Engage in open discussions about governance and fairness.
- Audit curation practices to align with Hive’s decentralized values.
- Prioritize transparency—publish explanations for downvotes or collaborative reforms.

The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.

Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.

@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.

Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.

Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.

It’s over.

from Imgflip Meme Generator

The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.

from Imgflip Meme Generator

@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.

from Imgflip Meme Generator

TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
- STOP THE BAD DOWNVOTES
- STOP PLAYING WITH PEOPLE’S LIVELIHOODS

Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:

The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
- Downvote abuse
- Farming schemes
- Speaking disrespectfully to others
- Encouraging people to avoid certain users out of personal dislike
- Self-voting with alt accounts
- Self-funding projects through self-votes
- Promoting games that don’t even exist (LOL)

These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.
