Giving Care To Complexion In
 Summer

IF you are interested in your
 appearance, shun the suns rays
 when you have to go out in them protect your skin and hair from their devasting effects, says The Designer.
 Avoid washing a sensitive skin after a long motor trip or exposure to the sun. A soothing lotion will be excellent for cleansing instead of water. There is a delicious pinkish lotion with the soothing effect of the old-fashioned com pounds and the additional value of scientific combination that may be used as freely on the hands and face as water and leaves a soft, fresh sensa- ton on the chapped skin. For quick pick-me-up 1t is excellent, for it is sufficiently astringent to act as tonic to the muscles and leaves slight base for the powder. A cleansing cream may also be used to advantage on the burned skin and will have a soothing effect. 4
 If you have already acquired too too-deep shade of tan, or have some of those distressing discolorations called liver spots for want of better name, you may use a bleach if necessary. A bleach is thing to be used with great circumspection, for all but a very few operate by peeling the outer skin. You can, however, get a cream which will do the trick. It should be applied daily, being spread easily over the tanned surface with a dull blade. After being on half an hour or so it is removed in the same fashion, and applied again the next day. Ugly browns and spots will gradually yield, leaving a lovely smooth surface.
 A lighter bleach is recommended for use before going out in the sun or wind. This makes enough of film to protect the skin and avoid that red and in- famed condition which results from overexposure. There are many good creams that restore the oils which are unkind, climate removes and make it possible to keep lovely skin during the summer. Only they need to be used faithfully to show good results.
 For the inevitable mosquito bites there is an excellent sulphur lotion : this may be used on poison-ivy infec- tions also.
 It's a great deal more possible to make up property now, during the sum- mer than it has ever been before. No longer are sun-burned and roughened skins serious obstacle to looking pretty. The blemishes which you couldn't prevent in the first place and can't cure all at once can be very sklllfully camouflaged.
 Avoid dreadfully white powder. You can get powder designed to cover up the brown streaks and sunburn. Ii delicately repeats the shade of sun. burned skin, gives you just the light. brown color that you would have if you played nine holes of golf every day and beautifully takes off the shine, 1t Is moisture-proof, so that it is made to stick in the damp atmosphere of the beach.
 1ou can take a moisture-proof com. pact, if you like, and slip it out of your pocket whenever you have n mo. ment to spare. Liquid rouge is an ex. ceilent sort of color. to use for days outing because it stays. You know now to put it on, of course. Touch m the skin where the color is naturally highest and soften the color gradually into the skin at the edges. It stays when let alone reasonably :, and so does the powder. Last of all add A touch or hp-stick which has not the thick waxy consistency of the, usual lip-stick Inls also will stay through thick O, thin and will give a finishing detail which IS almost inevitably becoming whether you are going in for a din Q, are sitting on your own veranda.
