Perfect Cleanliness.
Olive oil and the oil which is natural
10 nuts are great skin beautifiers, and
should be taken literally in winter when
there IS the slightest tendency To dry
ness OF the skin. In fact. they have
2 greater influence on the maintenance
OF health than is generally realized.
Perfect cleanliness Is the foundation
of fine com plexiOn. winter or summer.
1t is ignorance in regard to this appar-
entity simple matter which causes many
of the unsightiy skins we see. There
are inuurnerabic women who consider
their faces thoroughly clean when they

IN cold wafer. and who would be most
Indignant if told they had scarcely i'm

therefore. just before retiring is the best
time. The best way Is 10 make a
lather on the hands with warm water
and absolutely pure soap. and pply IL

rteaming is advisable. The illustration
shows a simple improvised method. This
should not be done more than once
in two or three weeks. and never before
exposure. II often happens that cold

this. hot applica tins Will often prove
most helpful
Pure. sweet milk Is one of the very
best things with which TO battle the
face in cold weather. and many COM

daily wash. However. it should not
be used when the skin is extremely oily.
Another excellent preparation for dry
skins is what Is called a petroleum
emulsion; that Is, a simple vaseline
which has been thoroughly mixed with
traRacanth powder. and then beaten up
with pestle IN mortar or basin, with
distilled water. TO which a few drops
OF rOsewater have been added. This
makes d creamy emulsion. which, when
applied 20 the skin with soft cloth, }
has excellent cleansing properties.
