This lotion makes an excellent Rose Cold Cream to remove old grimy dirt or makeup.  Simply apply with clean fingertips and remove with fine tissue.  Then you might take a teaspoonful of cornmeal in each palm and rub the hands and face well with it.  Rinse with warm water and then cold.  Pat the remaining fine film of cream into the skin for night-time smoothing.
