face cream

That's only powder, which stays on because I use a face-cream first.

That is very cleansing, but as it is also drying, a face cream must be smeared on immediately after the face is rinsed and wiped.

If this is inconvenient, as it often is when one is a hotel guest and not a cottager, then use a good face cream.

Potato water kept one's hands and face soft, we boasted; it was as effective as face cream.
