MILK PACKS
FOR DRY OR OILY SKINS. A dry skin can be treated to a milkpack which is carried out as follow: Mix one tablespoon of almond meal with enough warm milk to make a paste. Stand this to one side while you thoroughly cleanse the skin with either oil of sweet almonds or with a good nourishing cream. Remove the surplus oil or cream from the skin with facial tissues, allowing just enough to remain on the skin to form a slightly oily film. Then spread the milk and meal, pack lightly over the face and lie down for 15 mniutes with the features relaxed.
Then remove the pack with warm water, dry the skin with a soft towel, and apply a little skin tonic. This treatment will feed and nourish the skin and gradually remove all traces of dryness.
An oily skin will very quickly respond to a series of milk and yeast packs. First procure your yeast, which, by the way, must be fresh, then make it into a creamy paste by adding a little milk. Cleanse the skin thoroughly with cream and then apply the milk and yeast paste, taking care to avoid the eyebrows and the hairline. Allow the pack to remain on the skin for 30 minutes and then remove with warm water, afterwards thoroughly rinsing with cold water. This pack is invigorating and beneficial, and its good results will be felt immediately after the first treatment.
In the course of a new revue, one of the actresses has thirty changes of costume. This must have entailed a good many undress rehearsals.
