For your face try the following
recipe: One ounce spemacete, one
ounce white wax. one ounce almond oil,
One-Quarter ounce camDhor gum. Dis
solve the camDhor gum in the oil, add
the other ingredients, heating the
whole only TO melt, when melted beat
with a fork until it is creamy and
white. In using it the face must be
perfectly free from dust. Take a small
quantity on the tips and rub the face
and neck gently. The face becomes
soft Immediately.
Another fine lotion is: Three ounces
rosewater. one ounce glycerine, ten
drops carbolic acid. Rub over the
face and neck just before using the
towel. If there is too much glycerine
use a little less than an ounce. ely
cerine should never be used unless
much diluted.
