Directions.—Use the formula of the preceding and then add perfume with the genuine oil of bay.
COLD CREAM.
The only difference between this and the two preceding creams is that instead of perfume a compound of alcohol and menthol is used.
Directions.—Use the same body as for Pythian Cream, and then add alcohol and menthol as follows:
Put 6 drachms of menthol crystals into an ounce of alcohol. When the menthol is thoroughly dissolved add this combination to ½ gallon of the cream. The presence of the menthol gives this preparation a very pleasant cooling effect. Hence it is well named. This cream may, of course, be perfumed if desirable.
Instead of these face creams, some customers will prefer the pure bay rum, while perhaps many will prefer witch hazel. These can, of course, be obtained from barber supply houses or from drug stores; the witch hazel may be improved by adding to it a good cologne. Try two parts witch hazel to one part cologne.
