and satisfaction from using what
we have intelligently.
The simple act Of cleansing the
skin is one that is taken for
granted. 1t Is SO easy that the
majority of women do not even
take the time to do it correctly
and thoroughly, yet it is the most
important step OF any beauty
treatment-the very foundation OF
a smooth. artistic makeup!
Diss0lves Dust
Cream Is an important aid for
dissolving stale cosmetics and sur
face dust and 1t can be whisked
away quickly and efficiently. The
cream used should be feather
light and soft in texture SO 1t
liquifies Immediately on touching
the skin. It should be delicately
scented. for fragrance lends an
illusion of luxury and a conscious
ness of beauty that are as i'm
portant as good looks, in giving
you a poised and attractive ap-
pearance.
Cleansing cools and refreshes
the face as we'll. 1t should be fol-
lowed by a gentle patting routine.

very muscles that are apt to grow

cleansings are the minimum. Start

plan to cleanse your face and re-
new your makeup at least once
during the day. See how quickly
your skin will respond, how clear,

II your skin Is the dry. sensi-
tive kind, let the following be the
basic, everyday routine:

it. Squeeze a pad OF cotton out
Of cold water. Chill on ice and
moisten with skin lotion. Dip pad
into cleansing cream, covering 1t

the throat and work up and up
with gentle, lifting strokes until
the entire face has been gone over.

appear firm. It stimulates the
surface circulation and completely
removes any remaining traces OF
cream.
Stimulating the Skin
Follow the same movements as
you did in Dreaming the face
from the base Of the
throat. Start at the chin and pat
upward along the jawline. Return
to chin and work upward over the
cheeks to the temples. When both
sides of the face have had their
share of patting. work over the
forehead from eyebrows up to
hairline, and from the center out
to the hairline at the sides.
Vary the evening cleansing
three or four times a week
by following the cream cleansing
with a thorough washing with
tepid soapsuds. A sponge or rough
wash cloth will give the friction
so useful in stimulating the cir
culation and Kidding the pores OF
any accumulations. Rinse. with
tepid water then cold.
Normal or very oily skin needs
more frequent cleansings with
soap and water. At least once
daily is the rule. Patting with
skin lotions may follow. A badly
skin should occasionally
be treated with beauty grains or
cleansed with little herb bags
that help draw out blackheads
and. at the same time. soothcs
