METHODS FOR BRINGING IT INTO LINE.

Combating the Double Chin,

Streamlines, which began with motor car?., have come to stay with feminine lines. So many girls varying in age from the debutante stage to the thirties, already have double chins. Nature’s revenge for two many chocolates, too much sitting or too much car-riding instead of walking.

Revolutionary methods of massage in which the chin is not touched at all have recently come into vogue. Specialists arc hand-massaging the scalp, raising the chin from behind the ears and .the neck muscles from the nape of the neck and the top of the spine.

Some specialists advocate the use of a chin-strap, which must be worn at night, and also for ten minutes during the day. Another method is to u'se Pads of cottonwool soaked in astringent lotion under a chin-strap, followed by a skin-food, unless the skin is sensitive, when the skin-food comes first.

Another way to preserve the streamline of the chin is to massage the flesh towards the ears with a firm movement of the fingers of both hands which have been liberally covered with a cream which contains wool-fat. The lines from nose to mouth which are the heralds of middle-age are the subject of an exercise which should be practised to combat these offenders. Massage cream should be spread over the hands as well as on the face and throat before the palms are worked upwards over the cheeks with slight pressure close to either side of the nose and moving towards the temple.
