POWDER ON THE FACE
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN

No Real Reason Why Il Should Be

Occasionally ! receive an inquiry

OF face powder. Whether powder can

iy cleansed each day to prevent the
pores OF the skin from becoming
clogged. Such cleansing is necessary
whether powder is used or not, because
the dust and CRIME from the atmos-
phere will settle into and clog the
pores unless the skin is cleansed often
enough TO prevent obstruction of the
channels Of elimination.
Face powder as beautifer for the
complexion has been used for centur-
les. and nowadays powder is taking a
still more important place among cos
metics and Is used extensively for pro-
tecting the skin from the deleterious
effect OF the sun and wind. Especial
ly Is this true since the automobile
has come into favor as a means OF To-
comotion. Exposing the face to a
gentle breeze when one is walking re-
Quires little thought as to protective
measures. but exposing the face to the
strong wind when an auto is going 30
or 40 miles an hour Is quite another
thing. Unless the face Is we'll pro-
tected the chances are that the skin
will not only become tanned, but will
in time take on q withered look and
gain a hardness in texture which no
amount Of makeup" will effectually
hide.
When a good cream is rubbed into
the skin before the powder is applied
II fills the pores with harmless sub
stance which is easily removed and
which prevents the dry powder from
settling into the pores and clogging
them. II a cleansing cream which Is
light and penetrating is applied for the
