WEATHER vs. WRINKLES

Cold weather will make wrinkles because 1t dries the natural oil neces- sary for feeding the tissues. So it is necessary to supply the deficiency without overnourishing the pores. Massage is excellent for this. Wash the face morning and night with warm water and dry gently. Then apply the following lotion with moist finger tips, beginning at the middle of the cheeks, with a rotary motion that gradually increases in arear. Make the upward stroke stronger than the downward so muscles will not sag. One ounce Of benzoated oxide of zinc ointment is mingled with two drams of strong spirits of camphor.
