Using Facials to the Best Purpose

cleansing faciais which are different
from the ordinary cleansing OF the
skin There are times when undue
exposure leaves a far greater amount
OF soil or the skin and frequently
this exposure permits the impurities
TO sink farther into the pores than
under normal conditions. When this
happens cleansing facials are the
only method by which the skin can
be brought back 10 an absolutely
clean state.
! think these distinctions should
now be clear In every mind and, in
the future. I shall make sure 10
mark each facial treatment published
In this column so that there won't
be any doubt about which one or the
three general cla~ssifications II comes
under.
In addition to this I want 70 ex-
plain now that surface or merely
temporarily stimulating facials can
be taken as often as you wish. Per-
sonally. I think every woman should
include a facial OF this type in her
daily beauty routine. IL she will do
this the need for more complicated
facials will be practically eliminated.
