been cleansed, to keep the pores from

The best way to handle the problem
of enlarged pores is to begin the use
of astringents before the skin has a
chance to become coarse and to use
makeup with care. The regular use
of vanishing cream and face powder
encourages enlarged pores unless Spe-
cial pains are taken to remove the
makeup thoroughly at bedtime. Not
only should all traces of the powder
and rouge be washed off, but an as
tringent used afterward. This is a
point that is often overlooked. with
the result that the skin, especially on
the nose and adjacent parts of the
cheeks where powder is used most
freely. becomes coarse and the dis
tended oil glands Tor pores turn into
blackheads and pimples.
Another use for astringents is to iron
out small wrinkles. Facial packs made
with a fullers earth. starch or meal
base are helpful in keeping the COM
pleXion smooth and soft. Any one can
make pack of this kind by mixing
