Clean and Tidy

This easy-to-blend formula is especially effectual for oily or acne-
prone skin. Parsley, red clover and lavender cleanse and tone the
skin without excessive dryness.

1/8 teaspoon parsley, dried and crushed
1/8 teaspoon clover, dried and crushed or powdered
1/2 teaspoon lavender blossoms, fresh or dried and crushed
1 1/2 tablespoons hot water

Combine ingredients and let stand for 3 minutes. Wet the face with
water and gently wash with the mixture; the natural acids
may cause a slight burning sensation. Rinse with cool water.
Do not use on
excessively sensitive skin.
