#ad #ad Advice from a 40-year old, passed down to me from my 96-year-old grandma: stay active, and use @POND’S skincare. My grandma was an aesthetician for decades, and she’s used Pond’s for as long as I can remember. So, I do too! Using Pond’s Dry Skin Cream - an essential step in my skincare routine - makes my skin feel soft and gives me a beautiful glow. And I feel closer to my grandma knowing she and I both use it. #paid #whatiwishiknew #40plus
