A great deal has been written
about the care of the oily skin and
most of it applies to one woman or
another who has such a complexion
problem, but because the theories
are so varied the proverbial Mrs.
Jones might easily become confused.
If your skin is oily, good soap
is your best friend. You may wash
your skin both morning and night,
making a lather with the soap and
warm water, and rinsing it we'll
with alternate splashings of warm
and cold water.
If you live in a city or dusty
town, you may use cleasing cream
at the end of the day. Massage
your skin we'll with it Git should
be quickly liquefying) and after re-
moving it be sure to wash your
skin with soap and water A good
toning is next in order, but I do
not agree with those authorities
who suggest a strong astringent.
An ordinary skin tonic, or a pow
der foundation lotion which Is
astringent, should be sufficient to
give your skin a nice mat finish
and help to hold your makeup in
tact
Because your scalp also tends to
be oily you must have frequent
shampoos, or scalp cleansings with
a tonic, or the oil from your scalp
will travel downward and make
your face oily, too.
When it comes to painting your
pretty face-you have definite
problem. First of all, select your
powder, your rouge and lipstick
carefully. Buy textures which are
suitable to an oily complexion.
Seek the advice of your salesgirl,
who should be familiar with the
various brands and their consist
encies.
Your powder foundation lotion
if you use one) must not be the
slightest bit greasy. It should seem
to disappear shortly after its appn-
cation And it must be used SPAR
ingly
Your powder next. Apply this
lavishly to your skin with fresh
wad of absorbent cotton. When
your face looks as if you Jumped
into flour barrel" take your soft
haired powder brush and brush
away until only a thin, even film
of powder is left on your face and
neck. If you use rouge, use pow
der rouge and place it over the
first layer of powder. Cover it
with light dabbing of powder and
again brush your cheeks.
A tiny brush should be sufficient
to brush away the powder from
your lashes and brows, but If they
are slightly faded touch them up
with mascara and brown pencil,
using the most delicate strokes.
Never go out with a hard brow
line drawn on your lashes stiff1y
laden with coloring. The more nat
ural gloss your keep around your
eyes the younger and brighter they
appear.
Your lipstick must be the type
which adheres or you'll find your
self with smeary mouth. To get
just the right one might take a
little experimenting, but once you
find the right lipstick be loyal to
1t and buy its range Of colors
More money and patience can be
wasted on lipstick and no one per-
son is able to recommend one spe-
cific brand for you because lipsticks
are very independent-they adhere
nicely or not, depending upon the
skin chemistry of the lips.
If your skin is very oily you
should travel with those small
cleansing pads and always remove
your old makeup before applying
fresh. They come in q compact
and are thoroughly saturated with
an astringent cleansing lotion. One
or two will give your face a pretty
satisfactory cleansing If you flnd
yourself away from home for hours
