For neglected faces

MASKS

can work wonders, though I do not advocate them in every case, and when choosing your mask you must de- cide on the type which is best suited to your skin, your age and any in- dividual facial disability.

Otherwise it is a waste of time to spread that mask on your face and wait for results.

Whenever you apply a mask

to your face, in powder or paste or cream form, it is to do one of these things:

Firm the contours;

Remove Impurities;

Erase lines.

To do the first you need a mask which sets firmly on the contours. and stay for half an hour or more while you relax, since to firm con- tours they must be lifted gently and firmly and set in that "."

To do the second you need a mask which opens

the pores and frees them of impurities, then closes those because re- after cleansing. pores laxed pores, especially after steam- ing, encourage any impurities they can necumlate. And they do.
