Many wondrous inventions debuted at the 1939 World's Fair: color photography, air conditioning and television among them.

Noxzema






I've rediscovered Noxzema. I remember using it when I was little because my older sister used it. I bought a jar on a whim a while back, but it sat in my cupboard until I pulled it out on a whim when nothing else would work on my broken out skin. Not only did it clear up quickly, but it left my skin super soft. Unfortunately, I recently learned that Noxzema is owned by Proctor and Gamble, which does animal testing, so I'm looking for a good alternative.
