good looks, that is for a healthy clear
skin, red lips and bright eyes.
"Of course, it is almost impossible
to lay down hard and fast rules. With
women I have known who possessed

cases, baggy. The massage completed,
a good skin tonic should be sprayed
on and the face famed to dry it, after
which a dry or liquid powder can be
applied, according to preference. The
great thing to remember is to be care
