Wash for the Skin
February 21st, 2021
An infusion of horse-radish in milk, or the fresh juice of house leek, are both good.
Honey water, very thick, is good in frosty weather.
Also, a wash made of 4 oz. potash, 4 oz. rose water, and 2 oz. lemon juice, mixed with 2 quarts of water; pour 2 table-spoonsful in a bason of water.
