One Important Requisite Is that
the Face Should Be
Kept Clean.

world will do little good without a
thorough rubbing which sets the face
In a glow. Many of the Indifferent
compilations we see are due to the half
way of merely wiping the face dry in
stead of briskly rubbing it. The main
value of the ~much-advised skin foods
and face creams Is the rubbing motion
necessary to get them on. This brisk
massage of the face stirs the blood into
healthy, active circulation, keeps the
pores free and unclogged and makes
the flesh firm. If one had to choose
between a mere sopping with water
and wiping off and a thorough rubbing
with a dry Turkish towel the dry towel
would best serve the ends of both
cleanliness and beauty. The rubbing is
really more important than the water.
Every face must be a law unto itself
as to the amount of soap and water
required to keep 1t clean. Some skins
are benefited by soap and others find
1t injurious. The naturally oily COM
plexion can stand more soap than a
dry skin. A little more money for the
sake of procuring a perfectly pure and
fine soap is well spent.
