I'm snowed in today with a blizzard raging outside, school and work both canceled.
As I sip coffee and flip through some old depression era recipes I'm content and smiling as I 'rediscover' recipes and idea's from our not-to-distant history but have been lost due to the easy availability of commercial products in their place.
The last one; oatmeal cleanser, I've actually used many times and I add ground oatmeal to my homemade almond soaps as a great light version of a loofah.
I salute the good, old fashioned, homemade versions of wrinkle creams and moisturizers.
Wrinkle Cream 1 oz. white wax 2 oz. strained honey 2 oz. lily bulb juice Melt ingredients together and cool. Apply to the face every night.
Mayonnaise Moisturizer 1 egg 1 c salad oil 2 T lemon juice Blend egg and oil slowly; add vinegar. Apply to face and leave on for 30 minutes. Remove with warm water.
Oatmeal Cleanser 2-3 T oatmeal water Grind oatmeal to a powder. Mix with water to make a paste. Gently rub onto face and neck. Rinse with warm, then cool water.
