Vintage Recipe - Cosmetiques

I'll share another vintage recipe from the A & P cookbook. Lets explore 19th century beauty...Should we discover how to clear a tanned skin? Or how about a recipe for 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."


Now, I wonder if I should dig up my lilies...
