COOLNESS IN SUMMER

BEAUTY ROUTINE ;

\\7iTH the advent of the summer heat - ' the difficulty faced by women is not only to look cool but to keep cool. I You can look cool by wearing light ... ! and air-conducting clothes, ’• discarding ’ ’ 'your stockings (and, of course, wearing | your toes painted) and sweeping all your I hair on top of your head; the new hats ! certainly demand the latter course, at • any rate,: and you’ve only to try it to : \ *f know that it both looks and feels cool. If you indulge in a‘little mental exertion you’il save yourself much physical exhaustion. , . - ! . |f <; . i. Do t remember that the heavy 'rich cream 5 , with which you pampered yOur face during the cool weather.. will only - aggravate your skin in the heat—svib- • stitute a cleansing lotion' for your cleansing cream and keep in mind the fact that most, skin topics or; freshgs»y ; are very cooling and ’will give you the iloveliest feeling if used during the day !after removing the make-up. ■ ,| It is .necessary, -to,- cleanse *hs.- lace-. •j more’ often during the summer because ‘ ijthe oil glands of the skin are ever so ‘ much more active and the dry winds 1 and the dusty streets combine to deposit i Jon your’ skin much;, debris -and when ~ imixed ’with ybur cosmetics “the tfeult 1 ;is neither' pretty nor healthy;- A goodly ‘ ' supply .of cleansing, tissues .of- Which’ there ! « are many on the market is. even more : W necessary than at any other time of the > year, because they require less effort, both in'removing the make-up and-in means of disposal. Many of us look on the bath as part of the daily, routine and entirely over* ;iook the fact that a bath used : intelligently can remove weariness and nervous - : ‘ fatigue—as well as being a valuable cooling agent. A really hot bath should never be taken unless you .intend to 7/ retire immediately afterwards, and even ; then not very frequently; but a luke'warm bath can. be a • great tonic -afters a tiring day. Sprinkle - into the , bafh either highly perfumed bath salts, such as pine or geranium, or a few drops, of 1 ; perfume. Take your iime-'-don’t be too ? , - energetic in your lathering and' drying • , movements and you will emerge from ,» the bathroom practically a new woman..^ If you have time, dab a friction lotion*’ over the body before using you* dusting • powder, lie down and completely relax ’.* for a few minutes. : ' " ■ • * • ,_ ; j Use a finishing lotion rather than cream for your powder , foundation—it- r will not only last longer but will never be guilty of bubbling through your make-up. Just a suggestioni;of, rouge, a - light dusting of powder and ; a dash of a bright lipstick will be sufficient'. ' X your lipstick on and it will be. much more permanent. A touch of green - eye. shadow gives an effect of coolness. ’ / r - Use a cooling* eye lotion . regularly t night and morning—it vrill kfeep' ybur eyes youthful and shining. A good tip is to keep all your cosmetics in the refrigerator—you’ll get much snore benefit from their properties' besides-', saving them, , for they will not evaporate so rapidly in the cool air.
