There is a way to remove effects OF
sun and wind from the complexion, il
one has the courage and perseverance
to do It. In you room. and when not
likely to be interrupted for two or
three hours. make a pou'tice of ground
fax seed and spread 1t on old soft cloth,
the size of the face. leaving places for
the mouth and nose. On applying it to
the face, the sensation will be uncom-
Portable. not disagreeable, for a few
minutes. then it will hardly be noticed.
Lie or sit down, as it will be hard to
occupy oneself in any way.
If a quick change is desired, keep the
poultice on for two or three hours; il
there is not time for this, half an hour
will make considerable difference, but
it must be repeated for several days.
When the poultice is removed, wash
the face with warm water. taking care
not to rub the skin unnecessarily as it
roughens it. Apply a little cold cream
and the result will be satisfactory,
Leave the cream on as long as possible.
and instead Of washing the face wipe
1t with a soft cloth, or if there is not a
sufficient feeling Of cleanliness wipe
with a damp cloth. The transparent
clearness of the skin will surprise you.
