As crazy as women are today about trying to stay youthful looking and forever hoping for the perfect anti aging face cream and moisturizer, it's nothing new. Even back to Egyptian times women were mixing ingredients to find ways to help their skin stay clean, supple and youthful.
In one of my depression era recipe books I saw a very simple 3-ingredient recipe for a moisturizer. Just milk, oil and honey. The same ingredients that could be the start of a cake or muffins were also used by our Great Grandmothers as a facial moisturizer.
Milk Moisturizer
1 T milk
1/8 t oil
1/8 t honey
Mix ingredients well. Apply to face, blot off with a damp cloth. Especially good for dry skin.
