'GOOD FOR THE An Unusual Pudding
SKIN"
Do you know that there are lots of ordinary things, which you always have handy, which are great beautifers?
As a nourisher for skin which is dry, parched, and inclined
to run into fine, lines and wrin- kles, oll of sweet almonds is ex- cellent
Liquid paraffin is a good se- cond, and olive oil is very use- Tul" too, only you need rather a lot of it. and you must use it warmed.
Olive oil bath is capital for hair which is cry and lacks lus- tre and this is the time of year it "does" look spiritless!)
Tomato or Lemon Strained tomato juice mixed with its own volume "of boiled water is an excellent bleach, and it is also a very good stimulant. It should be allowed to dry on.
wonderful Lemon juice is beautifler. but, if your skin is sensitive, dilute it with boiled wa- ter.
Rosewater is one of the best mild astringents, and one which is most suitable for delicate or sensitive skin.
If you are making an eye lution of one teaspoonful of boric cry. stals to a pint of water, add two tablespoonfuls of rose water also. Witch hazel. Eau de Cologne. and distilled water, mixed to equ al parts, is an active skin stimul- ant.
It is good for applying to
an ally skin, or skin which is in- clined to blemish. "
When you are choosing face
creames, if your skin is sensitive remember not to choose a cream which is too thick. Also see that your foundation cream has not too much glycerine in it.
To Sult Anyone Oily skin, really cleanses best with a lotion-and the lotion arts also as a stimulant, which such skins need
Powders are now made to sult the dry skin and the olly one.
The former is made on an oil base and the latter on a spirit one. You should see that you get the powder which your type of skins needs, and make certain that it blends well both in colour and texture.
Everything in the way of a beauty preparation that you use for your face you should also use for your neck and for your hands.
