OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
CARE OF THE COMPLEXION
Copyrighted 1904 by Chrlstino Torhuni-
lii-rriek.
Letter No. 4. of a series of 20.
Was there ever a woman who did
dot wish to bo good looking? If so,
she must have keen, in the ohildiih
phrase, “too good to be true.” That
is, unless she was already so pretty
that she felt she had nothing more
to ask of Fate.
Even the beautiful women must
tak o oare of her tcood looks. N ature
may bestow these but she does not
undertake to keep them in order
Once in a rare season one finds a
w i man whose oompleotion seems to
t ake oare of itself, but she is suoh
an exception that it is hardly worth
while to bring her case intoj
consideration. The majority of
women have to work to keep their
skins in order and their efforts must
be the more strenuous if they have
been careless of them in youth. .
When I speak of the oare of the
complexion L do not mean that one
must devote herself too constantly
to this work. Very few busy
women oau afford to give the time
that complexion specialists deolare
essential to the preservation of
beauty. When one sees a woman
who does all demanded of her in this
line, she is not likely to have leisure
for anything else.
I know one such woman. In her
girlhood she was the acknowledged
belle of her native plaoe. Her com-,
plexion was like a rose leaf, her
figure was exquisite, her features
were regular. Haying won the
reputation of a beauty she felt she
must live up to it. She has done
so and it has taken all her time.
At forty-five she is still engaged
in preserving her charms. She
never rises until eleven o’clooi.
She is most diligent in the care of
her diet. The time she spends upon
faoial and bodily massage leave her
little for anything else. Verily
Bhe has her reward. Her golden
tresses are plentiful and smooth,
although there is a touch of some
thing not entirely due to natur 1 * in
their coloring. Her rose leaf tint
of skin is still to be seen, although
it raey not be as finetuating as when
it was altogether home made.
Her figure she has bfeen able to
retain by dint of exeroise and she is
atill a beautiful woman' But has
it been worth while? Theje are
very few women wbo would think
it so, or who thinking so would be
able to give the time to achieve the
result. Too few find it feasible to
follow the rales by which Patti
deolares she has held her youth
with her so long—three square
meals a day, eight hours sleep at
night and three hours exersise daily
in the open air. It would be a good
thing if every woman could allow
herself this treatment, bnt it is not
lor those who must work in their
homes or elsewhere.
The benefit to the skin must be
wrought from within outward, not
from without alone. That is, the
body must be kept in good working
order by vigorous exersise aiid
proper food and the foundation will
be laid for a good complexion. Not
all the external applications in the
world will help without thes 6
fundamentals. But when, thei 8 e
secured, there are other things to be
done to peeserve the complexion iii'
order to make the faee attractive.
In tho first place, the faee must
be kept o’can. Not only by mere
washing with water and a cloth or
even by the tme of soap and water,
but by something more thorough
than these. -The surface soil may
be taken from the skin by ordinary
washi,ng ! ut to get the dust from
the poms a more radical course
must be followed. An ungudul
must he selecte l that will xiften
the skm aid coax the dirt ifrVulu
interstices.
Too lunch oare cannot be g'von to'
the selection oi the cream or akin
food or whatever it may lie that iH
used for this purpose. Cold creams
by the score may bo purchased but
a large proportion of these do more
harm than good, especially if ap
plied to a delicate skin. Either
they make it so tender that it ohaps
and scales readily, or else they pre-
mote a groth of hair, or they coarsen
tho skin. But there are good oold
creams and if one will take paius it
is not hard to make a ohoioe. In
order to get the best result for tho
faee, it shnulcl be cleaned at bed
time. First it should bo washed
with a soft doth dipped in" warm
water and rubbed on a good soap,or
dipped in almcnd meal. To some
■kin the latter is unsuited and their
owner would do well to oonfiue them
selves to a gooa soap. Highly
scented soaps should be avoided.
A sponge should not be used for
the faoe, pleasant as is the touoh of
it. The best judgeB say it is
impossible to keep a sponge entirely
dean, whereas the eloth can he
made anti-septic. When the face
has been washed— and the olotn
should be applied again and again—<
the faoe must be rinsed in warm
water an d patted dry with a Soft
towel. In washing or in wiping
stroke the faoe upwards.
Now comes the cold cream. A
little should be taken on tho finger
tips and rubbed into the skin, with
outward and .upward drakes from
the middle of the faoe. The rub
bing should not be too hard and yet
there should be enough pressure
bronght to produce a glow and to
stimulate the circulation. Eaoh
part of the face should be treated in
Retail. The forehead xbonld he
stroked frym the middle towards
the temples and up towards the hair.
The temples should be rubbed and
the oorhers about the eyes where the
first fine wrinkles display them
selves should reoeive special
attention. All around the eyes the
fiesh should be massaged and the
cold cream rubbed in thoroughly.
The lower part of the, face, the skin
about the lips and where the smile
er the droop of the mouth has left
lines mast be treated. Afterwards
the cold cream mast be wiped from
the faoo with a soft doth and the
■kin again washed and dried. If it
is very dry la tendenoy.a little more
--a very little morer-cold oream may
bo rubbed la and left on over night,
but the best judges are against
leaviug the grease on the face all
night.
This is not a very troublesome
business, although it may seem a
burden to a tired women whon the
goo* to be<l. But lilcb every other'
oare of the body ft is a matter of
habit and once established, the
bunco n of giving five" mfbfntes ait
bed time to beautifying comes to be
taken as a matter of bourse. If a
wotfisn thinks “the preservation of
her complexion worth while she will
hot grudge this small , amount of
timo bestowed ■upon it.
I have spokonof thus sort of thing
being done for the preservation ot
the complexion. If it is necessary
to women who have good skins in
the first plane, it is much more
essential for those who are not blest
in this respect, or who through
carolesstiess have let their skins fall
into a ba 1 stale. They will not
gel off so easily as the women who
have naturally good skins or who
have taken proper caro of thorn.
To redeem their looks they muBt
follow the process I have desoribod
above and do even more. They
must take up facial mass ago more
thoroughly, rhbbing the lined fore
head round and round with tho
finger tips, always stroking upward.
This oiroui ar movement is to bo
given to the oheeks and about tho
eyes as woil.
A great many womeu have a ten
dency to iloublo chins as they
advance in life, and this, too, they
eau combat by rubbing, drawing the
flesh upward from the throat
towards the chin and stroking with
tho paint of tho hand.
All this advice is not meant only
for middle agod womeu, however,
although they need it more than
young girls. These latter have the
insolence of youth They scorn
these precautions, apparently
thinking that their beauty of skin
and color will abide with them
forever. Once and jy while one.

By no means. On tho contrary, it
