BEAUTY
HOW and WHY
. -
WHEN YOU'RE ALL IN
A SEDATIVE BATH
BY ANN ALYSIS


When all your muscles are taut,
and your nerves tense; when you
are tired and weary; in fact when
you are "all in," as the saying goes,
turn on the hot water faucet In the
bath tub and prepare for yourself
a sedative beauty bath.
No need to go to the high-priced
hydro-therapy department Of the
hospital or to the sanitarium, when
you have at hand, right In your own
home, the hot water treatment
which gives relief to tired nerves
and body. Under the benif1cent in
fiuence of heat and water applied
to face as well as body, the lines
Of strain and WEAKNESS which mar
the face and produce the lines and
wrinkles we all dread, will be
smoothed away. And you will feel
like a new person.
For heat is sedative and the all
embracing water is a mighty solv-
ent. The combination will remove
the waste products which have clog
ged and prevented the skin from
properly exercising its functions,
and you will emerge from the tub
with feeling Of relaxation and re-
freShment.
For your sake I hope the water
you use is soft. At least none but
soft water should be used for bath
ing the face. If the water which
flows through your faucet is hard,
distilled water, which can
be bought at the corner pharmacy.
Or use the water distilled in ma
lures own laboratory, snow or rain.
Do not hesitate to apply hot, soft
water .plentifully to your face.
When WEAKNESS and fatigue disap-
pear, your appearance will be i'm
proved a hundred per cent.
