TOMATO BATHS FOR THE FACE
If your skin is red, rough and blotchy, you will appreciate the wonderful tonic effect of bathing the face in tomato water. . . Take a good-sized ripe tomato, thinlv slice it into a muslin bag, and place it in a bowl of hot water for about ten minutes. Squeeze the bag well with the hand until nothing remains of the tomato but the seeds and the skin. Use a small wad of. flannel 0r... a sponge, and pat tho affected parts of the face and neck lightly -with the tomato -water, now and again holding the wad to the skin for a minute or so. Do not bug, but apply the liquid first to one place and then to" another, going back to the first again as it dries into the skin.
Bathe for fifteen minutes or so, dry well on a soft towel, and gently massage the face with a good cold cream. This treatment, carried out once a week or three times a fortnight, will be found sufficient to tone up the worst skin.
