A WOMAN should know
~ her skin type in order
to give her complexion the
care which will keep il young
and beautiful. She must
learn Whetherher skin is dry
oily or average. If you've
never bothered to discover
which type is yours, you
can consult a skin expert IN
a good beauty salon. or talk
with the special cosmetic
demonstrators In your IA
vorite department store. Or
determine your skin. type
by applying a good astrin-
cent to your skin after
clcansing. If the astringent
leaves a tingling sensation,
your skin is dry.
One of the famous Ameri.
.an creators of beauty aids
as developed basic treat
lent for each of the three
skin categories. But we are
cautioned against a fallacy
most women make these
days: what we know as
average skin, this specialist
says, is in reality dry skin.
