Nature never intended the skin to be

There is really no such thing as o

"heart-food" or "lung-food," or Q
"brain-food."
The skin is a waterproof, air.prooi
envelope over the muscular system,
and it has no power to absorb cold
creams, or any other medicaments
when rubbed over It's surface. While
of course, steaming the face, or mas.
saying with electricity, or by hand,
will draw the blood temporarily to
the surface and produce an artificial
glow, which may last half an hour or
so, but such treatment brings no last

other facial blemishes.
Besides, the frequent treatment oil
