An  excellent  application  for  the  face  to  clean  and  soothe  after 
exposure  to  the  weather ;  it  should  be  massaged  over  the  skin,  then 
wiped  off  with  a  soft  cloth.  In  the  morning  only  warm  water  should 
be  used,  no  soap  in  washing,  and  the  protective  effect  of  the  trace 
of  cream  remaining  on  the  skin  will  be  appreciated.  This  applies 
particularly  to  dry  skins.  The  cream  is  a  type  of  the  preparation 
commonly  described  as  "  skin-foods."

Mix  the  first  two;  make  a  mucilage  with  the  spirit,  tragacanth, 
and  rose  water,  and  add  to  it  the  glycerin.  Then  triturate  the  first 
two  with  a  little  of  the  mucilage  and  glycerin,  and  add  gradually 
the  remainder. 
This  should  be  smeared  on  at  night  and  allowed  to  dry  on ;  a 
little  may  be  used  in  the  morning. 
Spots  should  be  treated  with  an  antiseptic  to  kill  off  the  germs 
and  prevent  a  new  crop.  The  zinc  soothes  the  concurrent  inflamma- 
tion, while  the  salicylic  acid  acts  as  the  germicide.
