cold cream is a most soothing application on returning to the house, as it immediately allays the smarting and restores the natural smoothness to the surface. Cold cream, for this particular purpose, should be prepared thus: Melt two ounces of the finest white wax with eight ounces of oil of almonds over a very slow fire, and add gradually half a pint of distilled rose water
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
