GIVE YOUR ARMS A SALT TREATMENT

A R.MS which are covered with goose- ■*" fleshy pimples can never appear attractive, and you will find that salt treatment is an excellent way of discouraging them. Not only will it make the skin soft and white, but all signs of the blemishes will disappear.

First massage the skin with almond oil, apply n little salt and massage it well into .the skin, finally placing a generous layer of salt in the palm of the hand and rubbing it vigorously into the flesh. Use plenty of energy, and do not be afraid that you will harm yourself. Even though you may concentrate on the gooseflcshy parts, you can still give the whole of your arms this simple treatment, right from the tips of the fingers to the shoulder-blades. When you reach the elbows,, place a handful of the salt in the palm of the hand, and then, after placing the elbow in the cupped palm, rotate it so that every particle of the salt is massaged into the skin. The elbows are a part of the arm which are very often neglected, and consequently they become discoloured and horny, and therefore will require a much more vigorous treatment than the other parts of the arm.

This simple salt treatment will soon make the skin soft and white, and is quite worthy of a trial.
