The majority Of American wom-
en- complain Of dry skin condition.
Those who have normal texture, or
even slightly oily, should be happy
about it for their skins will not age
and wrinkle as quickly as the dry
skin. Dry skin requires constant
attention. Lubricating in the sum-
mer weather and lubricating in the
colder weather. And at the same
time it is essential not to allow the
pores to become clogged by the
constant application Of creams.
The extremely dry skin can stand
only infrequent washings with soap
and water-perhaps three a week.
The possessor of such a skin con-
dition must use a very rich cleans
ing cream (similar to old-fashioned
cold cream texture), mild, refresh
ing tonic after skin cleansing, and
always protective foundation be-
meath her makeup. She will find
it absolutely necessary to cream her
face morning and night, followed
by the tonic. Every other night
she may wash her face we'll with
rich cold cream soap, warm wa
ter and soft complexion brush or
turkish face cloth.
The girl with what we call nor
mally dry skin may wash her face
with rich soap each day if she
desires. She must, however, use
either a lubricating cream during
the night, or protective cream
during the day-or both types. She
does not need a skin tonic unless
she likes the sensation Of it after.
Now the protective cream or
foundation must be of a certain
consistency to do any good. Dur
ing the cooler weather, our founda-
tion formula may have more oil in
it for fabrication than during the
warmer months. Some women even
favor face oils to face creams-those
which come prepared and are blend
ed scientifically. After a good wash
ing, these oils are smoothed onto
the skin sparingly and after a gen.
tie massage the excess oil is wiped
of with cleansing tissues. This
leaves sufficient fabrication for the
skin and holds your makeup on
well.
find cream rouge is better to
use with such a foundation than
compact rouge. and I like to apply
powder generously with a down puff
and brush most of it away with q
powder brush! The thin film OF
powder which remains blends per-
fectly with the skin tone and peo-
pie have to look very closely to see
if you are powdered at all! 1t gives
the illusion that your skin is vitally
alive with glowing color.
Some Of the foundation or pro-
tective creams which are on the
market are too drying, or too van
ishing. for dry skins. You put on
a cream before your makeup to
protect your skin. If the cream
quickly disappears into the skin ii
it apt to clog the pores and not
furnish the protection you need.
There is lot to be said in favor
OF those foundation preparations
which come in compact form and
which require a dampening with
skin tonic for application. They
do hide minor blemishes and they
do give your skin a velvety look
ing texture. They should, however
be held in reserve for night make
up because they tend to rob the
face of healthy tone-in daylight
some of them actually look pasty
But under artificial light such q
foundation can give your skin ar
exquisite look providing you rouge
and powder carefully and see thai
all makeup is perfectly blended anc
not too thickly applied.
