The smart woman of 80 or more,
has found that few minutes Of
daily pampering helps wonderfully
to keep her skin looking youthfully
fresh. She has borrowed tech
niques used by fashionable beauty
salons and by following a home
routine faithfully with an occa-
sional professional faciaD she lodges
that middle-aged look, and remains
attractive.
Actually there is no magic in
volved, it is merely a matter of
knowing how to care for your partic-
ular skin type, and then doing it
every day.
Let's suppose that, like the ma
jority of American women, you
have dry skin. 1t is on dry skin
that signs of age are most apt to
etch their unwanted lines, par
ticularly around the eyes, mouth,
and on forehead. Weather lines
and laughter lines lead to deeper
wrinkles, so you will be wise to
discourage them before it is too late.
What to do?
I'll take you to an expert in one
of Americas prominent beauty
salons. She claims, of course. that
the first fundamental step in the
care of your complexion is proper
cleansing. "A clean skin, with clean
pores, functioning properly, is the
very foundation of skin beauty"
she insists. For dry, mature skin,
this salon uses a cleaning cream
which helps to soften the skin as it
removes dirt and tired makeup.
This cleaning-pl -softening cream
contains vegetable oils made extra
light by a double beating process.
You are advised to apply it to your
throat as well as to your face.
When you remove the cream with
tissues, you have not only cleansed
your face but have also eased away
f1aky patches and helped your skin
become appreciably softer.
The second step. as outlined for
home routine, Is local stimulation.
This requires an orange flower skin
lotion which removes every trace of
dust and cream, besides whipping up
youthful blush. Be sure your
movements are upward and out
ward. working from the base of
your throat and finishing at the
hairline. The non-drying lotion
leaves your skin very refreshed.
The final step, in this simple
treatment is fabrication, which is
very important If your skin is dry.
A particularly rich emollient is
chosen to give the skin. supple
mentary fabrication. This special
dry-skin mixture is patted on with
your fingers, or even better, with
q patter such as salon experts use.
If your skin is extremely dry, 1t
is suggested that you add a bit
Of emollient oil to your cream, to
increase the softening action.
For older faces and thin necks,
THIS salon uses doubly-rich cream.
For unusually sensitive or thin skins
they prefer specially prepared
sensitive-skin mixture.
Whichever emollient you require
according to your skin type and
condition) you should leave it on
overnight If possible. You may
also use thin Aim of it as a make
up foundation for it will protect
your skin from the elements-sun
wind, cold or dust. OF course, If
you have found a perfect makeup
foundation, which you like, you may
use that instead Of the lubricating
emollient.
