courage you vi course, you can
not expect a 60-year-old skin TO be
as soft and resultant and free from
lines as it was when you were 20!
It's probably sensitive, dry and
beginning TO show fine lines-may-
be even a few deep oneS!! You can
offset much of the dryneSs. how
ever, and slow down the advance
of the lines by using good lubri-
eating cream at night.
Choose a cream that Is rich in
lanoline, massage well over the
throat and face and leave some on
the skin overnight. We do not adj
wise this for the younger woman,
but for you it's Important. A good
time for this Dreaming and gentle
massage is after you have gone to
bed and feel relaxed all over. A
warm bath first will soften the skin
and make it more receptive to the
cream.
Use Soothing Oil
Once a week use a stimulating
cream mask and follow with an
application Of soothing beauty oil.
All masks are drying and even
though their stimulating effect Is
desirable, 1t is good idea TO follow
with an application of oil or cream.
Be sure to include the throat in
the treatment. In addition to this.
it is a good idea occasionally TO use
a special throat mask that helps
smooth out lines and reminds you
to hold your head high. The neck
mask is applied with small brush.
allowed TO stiffen for fifteen min
utes or so and then is washed away
with warm water.
Hair is often a problem to the
older woman, but when 1t is nice
it is a mark Of beauty worth all
the effort taken TO make 1t so. If
the hair is thin, it should be shaped
carefully and given soft perman-
ent to add body and enable the
ends to hold a set. II softness Is
flattering to your face, have it ar
ranged softly, but be sure that the
hair is short enough to give neat
hairline at the neck.
Straggly, ends are aging. Wear
the hair up at the temples to lift
the face and give more youthful
jawline. Use the gentlest Of sham
poos and wash the hair at least
once a week to keep it fluffy and
shining clean, especially If it is
white or gray. Pomade rubbed we'll
into the scalp Immediately after a
shampoo will offset the drying
tendency Of frequent washing.
Use makeup with all the art
at your command. Choose a good
foundation with an oily base and
a tint that is slightly pinker than
your own tones. 1t will do much
to veil under-eye shadows and
soften lines. II your original coll
oring was brunette and you have
retained some of the rich skin
tones. use a fairly deep, rosy foun-
dation.
Rose Compliments Gray
Soft rose shades Of rouge and
lipstick harmonic best II your
hair is white or gray. II your hair
has kept much Of its coloring or
If it is an interesting salt-and-
pepper shade, however, you can
choose one of the clear red shades,
but be sure 1t is one with neither
purplish nor brownish undertoneS.
See that foundation is applied
evenly over face and neck. Blend
the foundation carefully around
the eyes and sparingly over the
lids. With your rosy foundation,
very little rouge will be needed.
Touch a bit to the center of each
cheekbone and blend carefully
outward from this point. Try to
keep the color array from lines
about the eyes or cheeks.
With plenty OF powder press
your pun, over the entire face.
Use a complexion brush to remove
excess powder and clean up hair
line. lashes and brows. Touch up
the latter with brown mascara
and pencil so your eyes will hold
their own with prettified skin.
Last but by no means least
comes lipstick. Apply either from
well pointed stick or with a
brush and be sure TO follow the
natural outlines of the mouth, &C
centing 1t slightly If necessary.
Use a fngertip to blend lipstick
evenly and subdue brilliance.
Finally blot the lips on a tissue
and soften any edges that seem
too harsh.
