SWEET SIXTEEN.
1. 1t Is advisable to massage the
face II the right treatment is given.
Wrong treatment can easily do harm.
IL is not advisable to steam the face,
because by doing so you destroy the
natural oils Of the skin and cause 1t
to dry out. To soften the skin so that
all dirt and dust may be removed you
may apply cloths wrung out OF not
water
2. When washing the face you
should have the water at the most
agreeable temperature. Too much
soap is not good for the skin, but
little Of the best quality is necessary.
3. You cannot change the structure
Of your forehead. but you can build
up the flesh by massaging with good
skin food. The same treatment should
be given to the back OF the neck.
