GIVE YOUR FACE A CHANGE

Your face needs a change, you know, just as much as you do yourself when holiday time comes. You can get tired of doing the same work, meeting the same people, seeing the same sights, eating the same things. In fact, if you keep on eating the same thing you not only grow extremely tired of it, but you more than likely upset your digestion. In just the same way, if you keep on using exactly the same creams and lotions on your face week after week and year after year your skin gets very tired of them, and quite often they seem to lose their effect. Your face needs a change of treatment. It is a very good idea to have at least two different types of nourishing cream or skinfood, from different makers, and to alternate them every three nights or so, or to use them weeks about. In this way your skin becomes stimulated and gets the full benefit from each type of cream. Change is Essential. If you are accustomed to washing your face, give it a week of cleansing with cold cream and a skin tonic, and then return to washing again. Try out one or two different foundations, and also try out different powders, in slightly different shades. This is not a more extravagant way of using make-up, for naturally each "lot” of creams you have lasts twice as long, while you can always buy them in small quantities. Of course, you do not want to experiment too rashly nor to change your make-up every day. You must give each type of cream long enough to do some good to your skin and to see what effect it has. About a week or ten days, alternately, is a good length of time at the beginning. It is also a wise plan to have some very special cream which you use once in a while when your face seems to need stronger treatment than usual. Aqd one morning or one evening a week, when you are at home, leave your face without any make-up on at all. It is necessray to let the skin breathe to keep it healthy, and it cannot do this if it. is consistently covered with make-up. Cleanse it carefully of all make-up, and then leave it untouched for a little. You will find that it will take makeup much better after this rest. Your Hair. It is necessary to change the parting of your hair from time to time, but if you feel that you cannot do this without sacrificing your most becoming style of hairdressing then, on the night before you are going to have it re-set, give it a very thorough brushing, brushing upwards from the roots and against, the way in which it grows; part it differently and leave it like this until the next morning. The change will help it, too. '
