Pure face cream-
Set a bowl in a basin over the fire. In it put a quarter ounce of white wax
and two and a half ounces of spermaceti, and the same quantity of oil of sweet almonds.
When melted and hot add a pinch of borax and an ounce and a half of rose water.
Beat ingredients with a silver fork, briskly till cold. Warm jar before filling and keep in a cool
place.
Another good cream-
One ounce each of white wax and spermaceti, two ounces each of lanoline and coconut oil and
four ounces of sweet almond oil. Melt in a double boiler. stir in two ounces of orange flower oil
and thirty drops of tincture of benzoin. Stir briskly till cold, and the constancy of a thick paste. it can be used after thoroughly washing the face and a good cleansing cream also.
