Sir Walter, I must ask... What is your skincare routine?

You are very wise to ask such a thing—more would do well to follow my advice for the skin, and I have no scruples in sharing my methods so that more people will benefit from luminous skin and I will not have the misfortune of looking upon so many frightful scarecrows!

My skincare routine is thus.

In the morning, I first wash my face, neck, and hands with elder-flower water. I apply a paste of white wax, almond oil, and spermaceti to my lips. My face is pinched between the fingertips for 10 minutes to bring a rosy glow to the skin. Finally, I anoint my face, neck, and hands with Gowland, and apply a fine white lead-based powder over it.

(I say "I" do these tasks, but of course it is actually my servants who attend to me and perform all the duties I am describing.)

In the afternoon, I fumigate my face, which is very efficacious in preventing or even removing wrinkles. (Not that I personally have any wrinkles to remove, but I mention this only for others who do have such a misfortune.) My servant puts some powder of the best myrrh upon an iron plate, and heats it sufficiently to melt the gum. I then hold my face over it, with my head covered with a napkin, for 20 minutes. My face is then washed with milk. Another layer of Gowland is applied.

Before I go to bed, I wash my face with rose-water, then apply a paste of boiled egg whites, alum, and almond oil. This remains on for 30 minutes, then is removed with Venice soap and fresh rose-water. Five drops of oil of rhodium are applied to the skin and gently massaged in. Then a final layer of Gowland is applied, of course, and my eye mask secured on top.

So, you see, it's really quite simple for anyone to follow.

Sir Walter in Persuasion seeing Anne after her Sea Breeze Restoration TM and being like, "Girl, what have you been using? Whatever it is, don't you dare stop."

"But like really, what is it? I want in."

In the course of the same morning, Anne and her father chancing to be alone together, he began to compliment her on her improved looks; he thought her “less thin in her person, in her cheeks; her skin, her complexion, greatly improved; clearer, fresher. Had she been using any thing in particular?” “No, nothing.” “Merely Gowland,” he supposed. “No, nothing at all.” “Ha! he was surprised at that;” and added, “certainly you cannot do better than to continue as you are; you cannot be better than well; or I should recommend Gowland, the constant use of Gowland, during the spring months. Mrs Clay has been using it at my recommendation, and you see what it has done for her. You see how it has carried away her freckles.” Ch 16

She was looking remarkably well; her very regular, very pretty features, having the bloom and freshness of youth restored by the fine wind which had been blowing on her complexion, and by the animation of eye which it had also produced. Ch 12

I would say Merry Christmas but I don't even celebrate them so happy whatever you are celebrating in this time and I wish you all lots of happiness, and quality time spend alone, with friends or family 💖

Dear Sir Walter,

I am thinking of visiting Bath soon, but I hear that the women may not be up to my very high beauty standards. I have the utmost trust in your judgment, how attractive are the women in Bath?

Thank you,

Robert Ferrars

Dear Mr. Ferrars,

You are quite right to be so fastidious about such matters. I must own that the proportion of plain women in Bath is shocking. Not that there are no pretty women, but, as an example, I once stood in a shop on Bond Street and counted eighty-seven women go by without there being a tolerable face among them!

I might advise you not to visit during the winter, when sharp frosts put extra strain on the skin and which hardly one woman in a thousand could stand the test of. Neither should you visit in summer when the heat will make the ladies wilt and the sun will make them all dreadfully tanned and freckled.

Yours,

Sir Walter Elliot

RIOT (2018) dir. Jeffrey Walker In 1978, when the push to decriminalize homosexuality has stalled, a group of activists decide they must make one final attempt to celebrate who they are. Led by former union boss Lance Gowland, they get a police permit and spread the word. On a freezing winter's night, they cloak themselves in fancy dress, join hands, and parade down Oxford Street. But they have no idea that angry police lie in wait, and the courage they find that night will finally mobilize the nation. (requested by @haveyouseenthisqueerfilm, link in title)
