Cosmetiques

Moving along in our book, lets look at 19th century beauty...Should we explore how to clear a tanned skin? Or how about Pearl Dentifrice? No, I think we will look at the recipe for removing wrinkles. Looking at my mother at age 77, I may need to try this recipe.

Wrinkles in the skin

• White wax, one ounce
• Strained honey, two ounces
• Juice of lily bulbs, two ounces

The foregoing, melted and stirred together, will remove wrinkles.
