Cold Cream Advice

Some reader asks me the exact pro
cess of putting on cold cream for
the night or for removing dust from
the complexion. and wish there was
hard and fast rule for this cleansing,
but in this, as in almost everything
lse, there is variation, according to
fae condition Of the skin. writes Mar
,saTet Mixter. For instance, a woman
whose complexion is dry can let the
nnguent remain on longer than one
Shose FACE is oily.
When skin is naturally oily think
the preliminary cleansing required
after train or motor journey, should
be done with warm water. Such skin
does not need grease to take out the
soil, there being the natural supply
of oil. or rather an excess OF supply.
IN such cleansing instead of using
soap like shaving cream. which can
be bought at any drug store. It is
cleansing and not greasy. Before ap-
plying II wet the face and then rub
on the cream with a soft wet brush.

to irritate the skin. There must be
a rins!ng in warm water and careful
drying. 1t is easy to tell II the face is
entirely clean, for If 1t is it win be

former. do not recommend II to any
one whose skin is inclined to dryness.
When the complexion is dry or has
only a normal amount Of grease, pre-
liminary cleansing is to be done with
cream.
To. apply, the finger tips Of both
hands are dipped into cream and the
'ace is rubbed precisely as II would
ne with water, working down on the
hroat and behind the ears. A large
ldantity of cream should be used. the
purpose being to cleanse and not 70
