for bleaching | thought | might work out
q formula that you can make up at home.
The clay packs that come already prepared IN
doubtedly are bleaching. but results are not
gained as quickly with some Of them az with the
formula given below.
To one quarter OF a pound Of fuller's earth
add sufficient peroxide and w1th-hazel (mized
in equal parts). to make . thick but creamy
consistency.
Now cleanse the skin thoroughly. using soap
and water or cleansing cream, as you prefer.
If you use soap and water rinse the skin thor
oughly. II you use cream make sure that all
trace OF It Is removed by holding two or three
hot congresses to the skin. Hot congresses are
cloths that have been ~rung out in hot water.
