Without exercise as an insurance

hands under hips, and lifting the

Another good exercise is to lie on
the floor, with feet under a radia-
tor, and to lift and lower the body
slowly.
The skin is constantly changing;
old cuticle is shedding and new
epidermis is forming. When
desquamation is too active. appli-
cations of cold cream are neces-
sary to avoid roughened surface.
Slow up on powder, which is dry
ing, or, at least don't friction it
into the skin. Fluff on with a
lambs wool pad and pat in with
the finger tips.
Hair dryers, throwing out 3
volume Of hot air, are not good
for the topknot growth. Cool
air does no harm. The hand
drying. or drying with the radiant
lamp. is better than the dryer.
After the shampoo the scalp
should enjoy a vigorous mas

Whiteheads are seed acne. The
mouth Of the pore closes and the
sebaceous excretions bank up Unto
a hard mass. The only way to
remove them Is to sterilize a
needle by holding it In a. flame,
and cutting a fairly long slit,
after which the deposit can be
picked out with the needle point.
1t is impossible to press out white
heads. without lancing first.
Powder pads must be kept
scrupulously clean. They should
not be used when the skin is not
clean. BY hard rubbing, dust
from the pad Is ground into, the
pores and blackheads result.
