BEAUTY CULTURE.

refreshing the face.

After a strenuous day’s .work the business woman often feels too tried to look her best for an evening’s or a visit- to the theatre. A warm bath, softened and scented with her favourite bath salts, will refresh her physically, but to bring the brightness back to her face, other measures must be resorted to (writes “Jeannette” in the London Daily Chronicle). To refresh a tired face and give it the brightness and bloom of youth there , is nothing better than a cream and ice massage. For this you will need some of your favourite massage cream, a piece of ice and a piece of butter muslin. Sponge the face and throat over with warm water, dry lightly, and smear over with the cream. Tap it in with the tips of the. finders, going over the whole face from the chin upwards. Now fold a large handkerchief like a bandage, and placing it under the chin tie on the top of the head. Wrap a piece of ice in a piece of muslin, folding, it? double before wrapping and smooth face, as if ironing it, with the ice. The ice should be passed quickly over the skin and not allowed to rest upon it. Dry the skin, apply a touch of vanishing cream, wipe over with a soft cloth, and arrange a touch of rouge, high on the cheek bones. Work this into the

skin. to soften the edges and dust with powder. £ When dressing for the evening after a day’s work, especially if the eyes have been strained over ledgers or typing, always give the eyes a boric acid bath, and should they feel dim and dull, soak a piece of cotton wool in cold tea and lay it over the closed eyes for about five minutes. This has a wonderfully refreshing effect on them.
