Allow to dry on the face. The parts affected should be washed well each night and morning with pure soap and warm water, then bathed for five minutes with water as hot as can be borne. Press out the blackheads with a finger nail under a soft old handkerchief. Another lotion recommended is the following, applied with a piece of cotton wool and allowed to remain on all night:—One part precipitated sulphur, 24 parts rosewater and 24 parts lime water.
