CUCUMBER TO THE RESCUE!
WHEN THE SURF CALLS Before surfing, rub your arms, legs, neck and face with a protecting cream —any cold cream or good emollient will do for this. _ . , A home-made recipe—a simple ana easy one to make, too —can be prepared, bottled and made ready in a short time to take with you. Here it is: Slice half a cucumber —don't peel it —into a saucepan. Add a small cup of milk and simmer for an hour. When cool press out the juice and Btrain. To this add an equal quantity of almond oil and glycerine and rose-water. The latter you can buy ready-mixed. Bottle and shake well before using.. This is an excellent lotion and will keep the skin soft and pliable in spite of wind and salt water. If you wish, you can powder over this lotion, for it makes an excellent powder base. . And a tip in the interests of hair beauty: If you should get your hair wet, wash it at the very first opportunity. Salt water bleaches it and makes it sticky, brittle and difficult to manage, besides being bad for the permanent wave.
