slight roughness appears on the skin,
which feels dry and unelastic. 1T is then
that you must avoid using water OF
any kind even rain water, which is
supposed to be so soft and soothing TO
the skin
Use your cold cream instead. If you
have none, or if YOU prefer it. use
milk. Milk is delightful for washing the
face and is not fad but a sensible
and certainly a simple cosmetic don
like the OdOr of milk and when ] use
it I have to wash it off in turn with
perfumed water. so 1T has little effect.
One should really allow the milk 70

milk wash is even better, and l can
recommend that particularly i'm the
spring, when one should guard against
a new crop of these disGguring spots.
Beware Of Winter.
In the meantime. at this time of year
when we should be having winter, and
probably will be chilled through before
this is printed. I recommend cold cream
for all purposes Of cleaning. Rub a
small quantity over the face and wipe
il off carefully with a cloth or a towel
which is very soft. CheeseclOth, or but
tercIoth. as they call it in London. is
coed if it has been washed out. but I
think it is very hard and rough before
the stiffening. or whatever that finish
lis which cheeseclOth has. i'm boiled out
of IT,
After YOU have wiped your face off
with the cloth put on more cream and
wipe fl an off again. While YOU are
putting the cream on. after the first
few times begin to massage or rub the
face. and by the time YOU have wiped
