TRY COLD WATER THIS IS THE WAY
*
Water is one of the finest aids to beauty there 13, but its value is often overlooked-probably because everyone can get just as much as they like of it! Familiarity with the hundred and one uses of water, for use both inside and out, should breed, not contempt. but admiration for its versatility and usefulness
Cold water is a valuable internal cleanser. Drink at least eight glasses of it a day between meals. and see at the end of a week how clear your skin is and how bright your eyes:
As water must be used with discre tion. for those whom they suit.. If you can take a cold bath and almost at once feel a comforting, warm reaction, the bath is doing you good, but if you shiver. turn blue, and feel thoroughly miserable, leave cold baths to, the hardy folk, and take yours warm in future.
Always after a hot bath let the cold tap run until the water is tepid. This will elcee the pores of the skin and prevent you catching cold?

Cold baths are all very well
The skin of the face reacts well to a cold rinse, and should be given one every time after cleans-
ing. If you have a greasy skin clean it with warm water and soap, rinse in warm and then cold water. Splash it on till the skin tingles, and you will have helped the pores to close and given the skin the stimulation it needs....
Dry skins, even if they don't ke a soap and water wash, can have a cold splash just the same.. Coat the skin with almond oil, wipe of dirt and oll with a cleansing tiaue or soft towel, and then splash on the cold water. Pat the skin dry, and the little pil, that is still gling Ing to.
