The “sandalwood soap” Michael buys is by Elizabeth Arden. In the cabinet there’s also a Bain de Soleil spray sunscreen (or after-sun lotion).

Joan Crawford’s beauty routine notoriously included using handfuls of ice cubes and witch hazel astringent to close the pores and reduce swelling and puffiness. The witch hazel shown here is by Dickinson’s.

The same routine was shown in Mommy Dearest (1981) by Frank Perry, starring Faye Dunaway as Crawford.
