| skin is very sensitive, use q rough

Brush or wash cloth, the i'm
portant thing to remember is that
the skin must be cleansed with soap
and water daily and the blemished
areas scrubbed vigorously during the
cleansing. For oily or semi-oily COM

omended.
SOFTEN SKIN
TO RELAX PORES -
After the nightly scrubbing, rinse
your face with hot water or, if you
prefer, wiring a wash cloth out of
hot water and press 1t against your
nose and chin. The object Is to
soften the skin and relax the pores,
thus making it simpler to remove
foreign matter from them.
Now cover forefingers with a
piece of gauze or cleansing tissue
and press out the blackheads.
Squeeze gently, Of course, and do
not try to remove more than few
each night. Afterward, rinse face
and throat with cold water. Pat the
irritated spots with a mild aStrin-
gent.
If your skin is quite dry, let the
astringent dry, then apply night
cream in the regular manner. For
the oily complexion, special pore
cream instead of rich night cream is
available. Simply smooth it on &C.
