Valuable Advice For Obtaining a Beautiful Complexion.
By Courtesy of a Lady Brad an
While recently glancing through a ladies' paper one of our readers noticed a simple formula said to quickly banish all skin irritations and greatly beautify the complexion. Having given' considerable study to chemistry, she was immediately interested by the peculiar combination of ingredients. Her skin was rough and sore from exposure to the sun and wind, so she determined to have the lotion made up at once. She applied night and morning with a soft cloth, and in less than a week all disagreeable traces of sunburn, rash and blemishes, had entirely vanished, her complexion was soft and smooth ; in fact, her appearance was so greatly improved that her own mother was astonished, and asked the cause of the sudden transformation. This led to another trial of the same lotion, and, despite the mother's age, her skin became clear and velvety. But what was even more amazing, the lines and wrinkles which had formed round her eyes and on her forehead began to smooth out and gradually disappear. Both mother and daughter were overjoyed at this unlooked-for result, and wondered if there was not some way of giving the benefit of their experience to other women. They finally decided to write to one or two of the principal papers about it. Upon receiving their ci mmunication, we gladly consented to publish for those interested the valuable formula which they had found. It calls for 2 oz. of rosewater, one dram tincture of benzoin, and 2 oz. Flowers of Oxzoin, the mixture to be well shaken before using. We are inI formed that it is quite inexpensive, and can be made up by any good chemist, or easily prepared at home. A prominent member of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris, who specialises in the care of the skin, examined this formula for us, and states that the lotion made thereform is perfectly harmless, and, besides being excellent for the complexion, is also unexcelled for quickly eradicating blotches, pimples, blackheads, &c, which are so disfiguring to the skin.
