Beauty
Cleanliness Is
Essential
BY DONNA GRACE

OJ DOGNGNkA U4S<ANG
We like to think Of beauty In
everything associated with our ap-
pearance.
Every girl has right to be
beautiful, and 1t is her duty to be
as good-looking as nature and
artificial aids will permit her to
be.
The girl who is not interested
in making herself attractive has
no charm and really lacks intelli-
gence.
We are judged by our appear
ance not only when we are well
groomed and may have a sense
Of satisfaction with ourselves, but
at all times.
When we know that we are
being appraised and criticized from
the moment we step out Of our
home until we are back again in its
tolerant and friendly atmosphere,
is it not just plain good sense to
present ourselves at our best at all
times?
The girl who neglects to do the
things that will improve her ap-
pearance deserves more severe
censure than the ambitious young
lady who puts on too much make
up. The made-up girl may not
know the correct methods, but her
pride and efforts to look pretty
are very commendable.
Soap and Water
There will never be any substi.
tute for a daily morning bath.
Cleanliness, we must know, Is the
first beauty attribute.
The girl who uses soap and water
to cleanse her face should do her
very thorough cleansing before
she goes to bed, but she must use a
wash cloth or sponge and plenty
Of cool water for her morning
cleansing and vitalizing Of the skin.
The eyes, too, need a tonic and
cleansing dip. Their little bath
tub is the eye cup. Let them dip
in and sparkle as only clean eyes
do sparkle.
Take whatever method you pre-.
fer, but be sure that you have
thoroughly cleansed your face and
neck before you apply any make
up.
There is no girl so perfect that
she cannot be improved by some
kind of makeup. Some young girls
who are still in their teens may
not need it, but girls over 20 Ger.
tainly do.
Face powder will always give the
skin a soft, refined finish and it
really protects it from the smoke
and CRIME that is always about the
large cities.
Sensitive Skin
There are, as we know, some ex-
ceptionS to all rules Of beauty
treatments and makeup. When
one has a very sensitive skin, it Is
sometimes advisable not to use
soap at all and, as much as we
love the cleanliness and satiSfac-
ton that goes with a soap-and-
water bath, we find it will irritate
some skins.
This type Of skin can be made
more firm and hardy, however.
with a regular routine Of fresh air
and little exposure to the sun.
The sun baths, however, and
even sun lamps, may be too draS-
tic. A gradual exposure is the way
to begin to protect such a type
against any bad reaction. Sun
oils are necessary for protection.
and the first exposure is always
for only a few moments.
Cleansing Of this supersenstive
skin may be quite satisfactorily &C
complished with q good cleansing
cream and followed by ice-cold
firming applications.
Golden Blonde: Use the reducing
lotion cold and send for my Face
and Neck Exercises.
