WASHES
AND
LOTIONS.
MILK
OF
ROSES,
1.--Take
2
ounces
of
blanched
almonds;
12
ounces
of
rose-water;
white
soft-soap,
or
Windsor
soap;
white
wax;
and
oil
of
almonds,
of
each
2
drachms;
rectified
spirit,
3
ounces;
oil
of
bergamot,
1
drachm;
oil
of
lavender,
15
drops;
otto
of
roses,
8
drops.
Beat
the
almonds
well,
and
then
add
the
rose-water
gradually
so
as
to
form
an
emulsion,
mix
the
soap,
white
wax,
and
oil
together,
by
placing
them
in
a
covered
jar
upon
the
edge
of
the
fire-place,
then
rub
this
mixture
in
a
mortar
with
the
emulsion.
Strain
the
whole
through
very
fine
muslin,
and
add
the
essential
oils,
previously
mixed
with
the
spirit.
This
is
an
excellent
wash
for
"sunburns,"
freckles,
or
for
cooling
the
face
and
neck,
or
any
part
of
the
skin
to
which
it
is
applied.
MILK
OF
ROSES,
2.--This
is
not
quite
so
expensive
a
receipt
as
the
last;
and,
at
the
same
time
is
not
so
good.
Take
1
ounce
of
Jordan
almonds;
5
ounces
of
distilled
rose-water;
1
ounce
of
spirit
of
wine;
1/2
a
drachm
of
Venetian
soap,
and
2
drops
of
otto
of
roses.
Beat
the
almonds
(previously
blanched
and
well
dried
with
a
cloth)
in
a
mortar,
until
they
become
a
complete
paste,
then
beat
the
soap
and
mix
with
the
almonds,
and
afterwards
add
the
rose-water
and
spirit.
Strain
through
a
very
fine
muslin
or
linen,
and
add
the
otto
of
roses.
The
common
milk
of
roses
sold
in
the
shops,
frequently
contains
salt
of
tartar,
or
pearlash,
combined
with
olive
oil
and
rose-water,
and
therefore
it
is
better
to
make
it
yourself
to
ensure
it
being
good.
