Excerpt from Natural Beauty at Home - Janice Cox

Josephine de Beaubarnais married Napoleon Bonaparte in France in 1796. She was known for her beautiful clear complexion. It is rumored that she used this simple cleanser recipe every day to keep her skin clean and glowing. It is necessary to refrigerate this cleanser between uses because of the fresh milk. It should last for a few weeks.

Mix together the two ingredients. Store in the refrigerator.

To use: Pour a small amount in your hand and massage gently into your skin. Rinse well with tepid water and pat dry.

Yield: 3 ounces.
