Potato Your Face

Potato Your Face

A hygiene tip found in the Chicago Tribune, March 2, 1902:

POTATO YOUR FACE
If you wish to wash your face and haven't any soap at hand, pare a potato and use it as soap. This will cleanse the skin when the emergency arises.

Okay, but how do you then get the potato slime off your face?
