yOuI OOCCOI OIQeTS YOU W stay lldC
on your back and no nonsense,
there's little that you can do except
to smooth pOmade on your lips SO
they will not become sensitive and
chapped from fever. And you can
ask to have some small pads of cot
ton and bottle of eye lotion or
witch hazel placed within reach to
rest and refresh your watery eyes.
AS soon as you are permitted to
sit up in bed, however. you can have
facial-one of the nice leisurely
kinds where you can massage and
cream your face as much as you
like. Wipe of the extra cream and
apply a mild mask. then lie back
and relax for the allotted time. Or
you can simply leave on a rich
cream and over it place a gauze
mask wrung out of skin tonic.
Oil for Dry Skin
II the skin is very dry, lay over it
strips Of gauze dipped in warm
muscle oil or olive oil, and then
cover with several thickneSses Of
gauze to hold in the heat. Holes
should be shipped out for the nos
trils. Cream should be SmoOthed on
the lips and perhaps warm COM
presses placed over the eyes. The
beauty Of this type Of facial treat
ment Is that you can rest as long as
you please or even 60 to sleep.
When you feel the skin has
soaked up as much of the oil as it
will, remove the gauze soaked with
oil and wipe of surplus from the
skin with tissues. Remove cream in
the same way II you have used it
alone. Then sponge the face with
cold water or skin tonic. Finish by
spanking the skin briskly with the
clean side of the cotton pad, or lay
a gauze over the face and smooth
quickly over it with an ice cube.
Finish the treatment by washing
the eyes with cold eye lotion, brush
your hair and tie out Of the way
with a pretty ribbon. apply dash
Of lipstick and a minimum Of other
makeup.

your nails and give the hands and
arms a cream and-tonic treatment
that corresponds with your facial.
