Making Face Cream
Dear Aunt Daisy, I noticed in The Listener recently a request for a cold cream by Mrs, N., Queenstown; so I am sending you a recipe I have used for some time, and can recommend, either as a cold cream, cleansing cream, or for a powder base, It is economical in use, as a very little goes a long way. --K (Herne Bay), Face Cream Recipe.-2 ounces of almond oil; % oz, of spermacetti; %4 oz. of white wax; and a 1 oz. bottle of rosewater. Pour the oil into a jelly-jar together with the wax and spermacetti. Place the jar in a small saucepan of water, bringing the latter to sufficient heat to melt the wax and the spermacetti in the oil, Do not let the oil boil. When ready, remove from the water,
and beat it with a silver fork, for preference, adding the rose-water drop by drop. Have a clean pot ready, as it will soon reach a creamy consistency, and be ready to pour. A few drops of oil of roses maybe added if desired-that is about four drops. How very useful to be able to make a reliable face cream at home. Thank you very much for your letter.
