We aren’t the only generation to suffer from blemishes. In years gone by, teens used whatever soap was handy and then added a little sugar. The sugary lather seemed to do the trick. Blemishes apparently vanished.
"I’m not in the least interested in growing old gracefully; I want to grow old disgracefully, with a gleam in my eye. I want to carry my own wood into my cabin on the day that I die."
Leslie Kenton
Women of previous generations wanted to prevent wrinkles just as much as we do today. Unfortunately, they couldn’t go to a department store and buy an anti-aging cream. Their solution was to make their own. One such cream consisted of a few tablespoons of heavy cream and a little lemon juice. This was mixed together and then applied to their faces. So, if you run out of your favorite cream, you know what to do.
