PASTES.
ALMOND.--Take
1
ounce
of
bitter
almonds,
blanch
and
pound
them
to
a
fine
powder,
then
add
1
ounce
of
barley
flour,
and
make
it
into
a
smooth
paste
by
the
addition
of
a
little
honey.
When
this
paste
is
laid
over
the
skin,
particularly
where
there
are
freckles,
it
makes
it
smooth
and
soft.
PALATINE.--Take
8
ounces
of
soft-soap,
of
olive
oil,
and
spirits
of
wine,
each
4
ounces,
1-1/2
ounce
of
lemon-juice,
sufficient
silver-sand
to
form
into
a
thick
paste,
and
any
perfume
that
is
grateful
to
the
person.
Boil
the
oil
and
soap
together
in
a
pipkin,
and
then
gradually
stir
in
the
sand
and
lemon-juice.
When
nearly
cool
add
the
spirit
of
wine,
and
lastly
the
perfume.
Make
into
a
paste
with
the
hands,
and
place
in
jars
or
pots
for
use.
This
paste
is
used
instead
of
soap,
and
is
a
valuable
addition
to
the
toilette,
as
it
preserves
the
skin
from
chapping,
and
renders
it
smooth
and
soft.
AMERICAN
COSMETIC
POWDER.--Calcined
magnesia
applied
the
same
as
ordinary
toilette
powders,
by
means
of
a
swan's-down
ball,
usually
called
a
"puff."
MALOINE.--Take
4
ounces
of
powdered
marsh-mallow
roots,
2
ounces
of
powdered
white
starch,
3
drachms
of
powdered
orris-root,
and
20
drops
of
essence
of
jasmine.
Mix
well,
and
sift
through
fine
muslin.
This
is
one
of
the
most
agreeable
and
elegant
cosmetics
yet
known
for
softening
and
whitening
the
skin,
preserving
it
from
chapping,
and
being
so
simple
that
it
may
be
applied
to
the
most
delicate
or
irritable
skin.
