something to ward off sallow or
grayish tones which are likely to
appear during late winter months.
Right now, a mask-like lotion to
be left on the skin overnight Is
finding favor with good many
girls, Lighter than the average

a little brush after face and throat
have been thoroughly washed with
soap and water. II your skin is in
PRETTY bad condition, let the first
coat dry and paint on another
layer.
Next morning, remove with
cream what is left of the light
mask. The cream the manufac-
turers of the mask recommend is
OF rather heavy consistency and is
to be left on the skin all night six
nights a week. On the seventh
night, the mask-lotion is used and
removed the following morning
with the same cream.
Soap and Water Are Important
Incidentally. soap and water are
integral parts of each routine in
volved in the use of these prep
arations. The skin is to be wash
ed with warm water and rinsed

Interesting. too. is a stimulating

teaspoonful Of which may be put
in a pint of very cold water and
the mixture used as finishing

a lotion which must be patted on
with cotton pads.
To wear under makeup, there's
