A clear, fresh skill glowing with health is essential to beauty. One treatment I find beneficial is to go over my face with soap father and a soft brush, rubbing briskly to stimulate the circulation but not hard enough to make the skin smart. Then I rinse my face in lukeward water, dry carefully and apply nourishing cream. After half an hour I sponge this off with cotton dipped in rose water. When the skin is dry again I apply makeup.
