The Art Of Beauty True Beauty’s Inner Outward Helpers

IBv MARILYN FISHER ana IVI RIIVESI

How often have you heard the saying “Beauty is skin' deep.” It may be partly true, but we have offered some evidence to the contrary. Here is some more proof that true beauty starts from within.

Did you know that dull, drab hair, eyes that are not clear, and problem skin, are caused by ill health or lack 6f nutrition? With proper nourishment they can be corrected, introducing you to a fresher, healthier and a much happier person.

But first we must clarify that calory consumption does not necessarily supply the body with adequate nutrition. Nutrition is a proper balance of proteins, vitamins and minerals, iron and many other vital foods required by the body in order to keep sound. The lack or inadequate supply of any of these in your diet may be the cause of many of your beauty problems. For instance: An insufficient supply of protein has an ageing effect on a person. Inadequate vitamin A is often the cause of

skin problems and lack-lustre hair. Iron and vitamin C help the blood get an adequate oxygen supply. Vitamin B is a great aid in calming nerves and a help to the morale. All these and many others are vital to a good start on the road to solving thebeauty flaws often considered permanent. Realising the importance of foods, the cosmetic houses have worked hard to supply nutrition in the form of external application. Creams and liquids designed to cleanse, stimulate, condition, heal or protect the skin are carefully prepared to help retain the cherished youth of your skin. To understand the use of, and need for. these items, we will list some of the most important ones with their purposes. Cleansers are put out in the form of cream, milk and lotion. Fundamentally mineral oil in base, cleansing formulae do not penetrate below the outermost layer of the skin but pick up everything that is on the skin surface holding it in suspension to be wiped away. Most cosmetic houses supply cleansers of various types. Cleansers to the three basic skin types—dry, oily and normal

Refreshers and Astringents.— These are effective in removing any traces of makeup a r ter cleansing and are also mildly stimulating to the skin. Astringent is advisable ‘or oily skins as it has a tightening action.
