It's a Hungarian folk belief, that washing one's face with the first snow of the year gives/preserves beauty/youth. I use the snow as is, even if compacted a bit. I just gather a handful (two handfuls) and rub my face until all melts. It's a special feeling.
Tap water can be shit, but snow and rain might not be clean either.
Maybe the water in precipitation is soft, since probably doesn't have the mineral content of hard waters (which is gained via sipping through certain minerals underground, like limestone).
>old fake trees had many separate branches you would stick into the center of the "tree", which was a plastic pole.
Sounds like Lego.
