London’s Beauty Writers. Weekly Selections from Noted Beauty Experts Writing for the English Press. Simple and Effective Methods. By Olga Ausdell, Special Correspondent, London, Eng. To Kill Roots of Superfluous Hair. Women annoyed with disfiguring growths of superfluous hair wish to know not merely how to temporarily remove the hair, but how to kill the hair roots permanently. For this purpose pure powdered pheminol may be applied directly to the objectionable hair growth. The recommended treatment is designed not only to instantly remove the hair also, but to actually kill the roots so that the growth will not return. About loz of pheminol, obtainable from the chemist, should be sufficient. Lustrous Hair. A simple lotion that can be made at homo and which will positively force the hair to grow is within the reach of everybody. It stops the hair from falling out, clears the scalp of dandruff, and leaves a clean, tingling sensation, which is a suije sign of healthy action. Get from your chemist loz of boranium and mix it with quarter of a pint of bay rum, adding sufficient water to make half a pint. This quantity will last you several weeks, and is at the same time both effective and economical. Removing Her Skin. The quickest and surest way to make a good complexion out of a bad one is to actually remove the thin veil of faded or discoloured outer skin from the face. This can be done easily, safely, and privately by any woman. The process is one of gentle absorption. Get some pure mercoliscd wax from your chemist, ana apply it at night like cold cream, washing it off in the morning. In a few days the ineroolide in the wax will have absorbed the disfiguring cuticle, revealing the fresh young skin underneath; you will have a beautiful, clear, natural complexion. The process is pleasant and harmless, making the face look brilliantly attractive and youthful. It aleo effectually removes such blemishes as freckles, tan, moth patches, liver spots, pimples, eto. Every woman should keep a little meroolised wax on hand, as this simple, old-fashioned remedy is the best complexion beautifier and preserver known. Blackheads Instantly Go. A very simple, harmless, and pleasant process is now used to remove blackheads and’ correct greasiness and large pores in the skin. You have only to drop a tablet of sty mol, obtained from the chemists, into a glass of hot water, and bathe the face with the liquid after the effervescence has subsided. Tne blackheads will then come -fight off on the towel. The enlarged pores mmediately contract to normal and the greasinesa disappears, leaving the skin smooth, soft, and cool, and free from blemsh. But to .make sure that this desirable result is permanent it is advisable to repeat the treatment several times at intervals of, say, about four or five days. Grey Hair Unnecessary. One need not resort to the very questionable expedient of hair dye in order not to have grey hair. The grey 'hair can easily h a changed back to a natural colour in a few days’ time merely by the application of a simple, old-fashioned, and perfectly harmless home-made lotion. Procure from your chemist loz of tammalits concentrate, and mix: it with 4oz of bay rum. Apply this to the hair a few times with a sponge, and you will soon have the pleasure qf seeing your grey hair gradually darkening to the desired shade. The lotion is pleasant, not sticky or greasy, and does not injure the hair in any way. Naturally Wavy Hair. Good stallax not only makes the best possible shampoo, but has the peculiar property of leaving the hair with a pronounced natural “wave,” an effect presumably desired by many ladies. A tcaspoonful of the stallax granules, dissolved in a cup of hot water, is ample for a luxurious head wash, and leaves the hair with a peculiar lustre and fluffiness obtainable from nothing else as far as known. It is perfectly harmless, and can be obtained from most chemists, although since it has been but little used for this purpose it comes only in ilb sealed original packages, enough to make up 25 or 30 individual shampoos. —2
