Some Beauty Secrets

By M.M OS A

My advice to smart voraen who demand the very best results is to leave most toilet preparations alone. When facial applications are necessary, get only the pure ingredients just as tkey come to the chemist himself. I will tell you m this column from time to time just what to get and just how to use it. Do not be persuaded into baying some cheap toilet preparation instead. Any chemist can supply you with genuine original concentrated ingredients, if he will, and I know personally that most firms make a speciality of selling original packages o£ all kinds of pure ingredients neat, both direct and by post. 1 can point out to you, however, many useful hints, which involve no expense at all. ** How To Shampoo." — Try pure stallax. I think you could get as small a quantity as two or three ounces. A remarkably good shampoo is made by dissolving a teaspoonful of stallax m a cup of hot water. This cleanse! the scalp well, and makes the hair very soft, flossy and wavy. " Run Down." — If you cannot sleep well, nerves just a trifle unsettled, remember the body is like a piano and needs to be kept tuned up to concert pitch. The ideal body tuner is Iron-Ox Tiny Tonic Tablets. They strengthen and invigorate the whole system jnd give instant relief from that " tired out," " done up " feeling. " Rejuvenating The Skin." — You should not be discouraged because the face bleach you are using isn't effective; at certain seasons of the year all skins are more or less discoloured or freckled, and a face bleach is hardly adequate. A. substance which I highly recommend is Mercolized Wax. It is a creamy product with wonderful absorptive properties, and m about :en days, if applied nightly, you will find that he old skin has almost imperceptibly entirely ilaked off and the tresh skui u.iuciin-ai.. .^ tpparent. This method is harmless, and the .esults achieved are most beneficial to one's ooks and to the skin itself. About an ounce vill do. ' Eyebrows and Lashes." — Have you tried >rushing your eyebrows with a small soft )rush ? An excellent plan is to apply mennaine to stimulate the growth of tlie eyebrows md lashes as well. Get only an ounce. Jt can >c applied with the finger-tip. I think you will md that your brows and Jashcs wui soon jecome more luxuriant after such treatment. ' Annoying Perspiration." — For the offensive >erspiration odour you'complain of I would by ill means use a- little white pergol; applied to he affected surface with the finger-tips, it will nstantly stop the trouble. ' Stimulating Hair Growth.'^ — You should ollow the instructions given m this article, md m addition make up a good hair ana scaip onic. Take an ounce of boranium and mix it vith a quarter pint of bay rum; rub into the scalp occasionally. It stimulates the growth of lair and prevents dandruff. You will soon see narked improvement m the general condition if your hair. ' A Graceful Figure." — Clynol Berries will do Jor you what they have done for hundreds of ithers like you. Quickly, easily, and with ibsolute safety you can remove all traces of at without exercises, starvation diet, or the wakening effects of fat-reducing baths. Three or four Clynol Berries taken daily, one after each meal, will, m a few short weeks, reduce >-our figure to its original graceful propor:ions. The chemist rather keeps or can easily jirocurc them. ' Removing Unsightly Hair." — Powdered pheminol is the most practical thing with which to remove the superfluous hair. Applj it directly to the surface affected, and the hair will wilt so that it can be rubbed off m two or three minutes, leaving no trace. An ounce will last quite a long time. " Avoiding Rouge." — Yes, I agree with you that rouge is easily detected, but because of that yott need not be without colour. It seems essential m a few cases like yours. There is a powder, very little known to the public, called colliandum, which blends so remarkably with the skin that its use cannot be detected. Of course, some skins require very little colour, and you must be careful to know your style. ' A Soap Hint." — Pilenta is a very good complexion soap that has been recommended to me by many who find its use delightful. It has a /cry soothing effect on the skin, and at the wme time it is a good cleanser, I have not found as good a one, its yet. 1 Improving the Lips.'.' — A poor circulation is jsually the cause of that blue,_ bloodless ippcarance of the lips you complain of, and for troubles of that kind you should consult your physician. But why let an old-fashioned prejudice keep you from sicking a harmless artificial aid temporarily ? A soft stick of ; )rolactum applied to the lips gives a beautiful and perfectly natural colour and prevent." dryness.
