Blackheads are indeed difficult
to remove from such dry. parched
skin. It can be done. however. and
once you clear them up. you'll md
the skin II easier to keep clear and
flne.
Try this routine: Cream the
face, wipe OF the first application
and apply more. Leave 1t on while
you hold q washcloth wrung from
hot water over tho face until the
skin Is moist and flushed. While
the skin Is thus softened. scrub
gently over the blemished areas
with q brush and thick soapsuds
or with IN herb bag that has been
soaked In warm water.
Cleans Skin
You can buy the latter already
made UP for you and filled with
fragrant herbs and cereals, or you
can make your own from finely
shaved CASTLE soap and ground
oatmeal with Just 4 pinch Of sui
phur. Use q heaping tablespoon Of
the soap Shavings to cup Of oat-
meal that you have put through
the meat grinder. Add the sulphur,
mix well and place q teaspoonful
Of the preparation on the center
Of each Of . dozen 4-inch squares
Of gauze. Gather the corners to-
gether and tie securely. allowing
room for the cereals to swell. Drop
into q glass Of warm water and al

more. One bag does q thorough
cleansing job. Use 1t as you would

cream from the throat to hairline,
going over facial lines with up

and kneading movements Of the
knuckles over the same areas. AL

skin Is minutes or more while you

read and relax. Wipe OF any that
remains and rinse again with ice
cold water to tighten the pores.
The manipulation has q double
value: 1t stimulates the circulation
which feeds the skin from the in
side and forces some Of the lubri-
eating oils to the surface.
The skin on the body should be
creamed well after your evening
bath. Larger cereal bags may be
used instead Of plain soap for
cleansing the body. too. Plain bran
may be used for this purpose or
you may use the same mixture
suggested for the face. The milky
liquid from the cereals Is soothing
and softening to dry or sensitive
skin.
