Complexion Hints

Jt is the time of the year just now when town dwellers love to spend an occasional week-end at the sea-side or days in the country. On these occasions one needs to take special care of one’s complexion in order to avoid that unsightly weather-beaten look. Even on a tramping holiday it is wise not to forget to take such amenities to the toilet as face cream, and a little borax—the latter in case the water is hard in the neighbourhood to which you go.

Skin food is a real necessity for keeping the skin in good condition and protecting it against the various extremes of weather which we are liable to have at this time of the year at the sea-side. A little rubbed into the skin and coated over with face, powder before going out will prevent the adverse influences of both sunshine and sharp breezes. Eau de Cologne is useful, too. A few drops in the water you wash in in the morning will serve as a splendid skin astringent.
