Most beauty aids were natural resources, especially plenty of soap and water and plenty of outdoor exercise with their bodies covered. The style at that time was to have white skin, the whiter the better, that's why they wore bonnets and covered up when they went outside. One tablespoon thick cream was used for face and skin conditioner.
To remove wrinkles: Melt together one ounce of white wax, 2 oz. strained honey, 2 oz. of juice of lily bulbs. The foregoing melted and stirred together will remove all your wrinkles.
