Excerpt from The Lady's Guide to Perfect Gentility, in Manners, Dress, and Conversation, in the Family, in Company, at the Piano Forte, the Table, in the Street, and in Gentlemen's Society
The greatest quantity of this oily matter is poured out upon the skin in warm weather, and gives a decidedly greasy feeling, especially on the face, and if water he sprinkled on any part of the skin, it will be seen to stand in large drops, instead of spreading equally, as on paper or dry linen. Unless removed from the surface from time to time, it accumulates, and causes light dust to adhere to it, and if long neglected, obstructs its healthy function.
