You're working so hard these days that that date with your friend which you've looked for- ward to all the week seems a mixed blessing now it's here.

A quick, horrified glance in the mirror tells you the worst, and it's plenty bad.

You think: "What's the good of going out when I look like that? Better go to bed and give up all thought of enjoying myself; I feel quite tired enough."

Of course, if you felt a bit better you wouldn't look so awful, and it's just as true the other way round-if only you could your appearance into shape you'd feel a lot better at once.

First thing is to stop looking in that mirror, lie on the bed and relax for ten minutes with your eyes shut and, if possible, with an eye-mask over them.

And now, as you stole those ten minutes for rest, you'll have to buck up a bit for fear of being late.

Those weary, slightly inflamed eyes aren't going to score many hits, although they do look a bit better now.

So quickly seize your eye-lotion open your eyes well, and give them an eye-bath, blinking the lotion thoroughly in and out.

Don't leave out your neck which is looking a little neglected and crepey-and work it well into the lips, too.

But DON'T overdo skin food in the day-time; bed-time's the time for real generosity with that.

Best substitute is a little vase- Une or even skin food on lids. It makes the eyes look larger--and they always feel a bit screwed up when you're tired.
