Most Of the face powders COM

less, IL properly used. The trouble
with most women Is that they apply
cleansing the skin. and will not take
the time to remove 1t with cold
cream when they enter the house
after heing exposed to the dust Of
outdoors. The pores must be kept
free from grease. which serves to
collect the particles of dust and
powder until they are SO cloysed
thrown Off by the skin. In a short
time the skin will become irritated
and pimpies will follow. When
these appear your skin loses its fine
texture and enlarged pores are sure
to be the result.
When using face powder you can
not keep the skin 100 clean. The
face should be steamed at least once
a week and several times during the
day the skin should be cieansed with
cold cream or a cleansing lotion.
Never forget TO use an astringent
lotion after the pores have been
