A WORD TO THE BLONDES

Particular Attention To The Skin And Hair

If you are a blonde your skin is thinner than a brunette's, and more likely to freckle or get unbecoming- ly sunburned, or faded. Your hair is more susceptible to darkening, your colouring more easily dimmed by the wrong colours or fabrics. You must, if you are a blonde. pay particular attention to your skinj and hair.

The use of the right nourishing creams: will keep your skin smooth and lovely and preserve that look of delicacy which is the blonde's. greatest charm.

Avoid exposing your skin to strong sun as much as possible and always use a protective cream or lotion.

Regular shampooing and brushing have a lot to do with keeping blonde hair crisp and shiny and looking as light as possible, and with the many rinses and special brightening shampoos which the kind beauty specialists have provid- ed for her, there la no excuse for the blonde not keeping her hair always a golden crown of loveliness.
