TAKE CARE OF YOUR NECK.

Whether a woman be too plump or too thin, her neck is the first place to shorv signs of the passing years. This is partly due to Nature and partly to neglect, for but few lavish the care on the neck that is bestowed on the face.

If you keep your neck youthful, massage it night and morning. And when massaging remember that rubbing is not beneficial to the neck. It requires pinching and kneading, given with fairy fingers along the hollows, immediately beneath the ears, -which run from beneath the lobes of the ears to the base of the throat.

Whether the throat be too thin or too plump it Avill benefit by this treatment. A double chin will disappear if kneaded every night and morning, especially if a good astringent lotion is well rubbed in when the kneading is over. The too thin neck requires a feeding cream as well as an astringent lotion, and before the cream is applied the skin should be bathed with hot water. The warmth from the water softens the skin and opens the pore's, making it more receptive to the feeding properties of the cream.

Sagging muscles spoil the contour of the face, adding years to one’s age. A course of electric massage will restore the muscles if given two or three times a week, and a really strong astringent lotion should be dabbed over the skin after each treatment to tone up the skin and prevent flabbiness.
