Hollywood (1938)

your skin before stepping into the shower. It dissolves as the water hits you, and rinses away to leave you a brand new "body complexion," satin smooth. What's more, you'll step from your shower smelling like an old fashioned garden full of heliotrope or lily, honeysuckle or pink clover. A dollar buys it. Want the name? Q. I feel cool and fresh as lettuce after my morning shower, but the feeling vanishes after I reach the office. How can I keep that morning freshness till I pop into the tub at night? A. Have you tried pouring a few drops of cologne into your morning tub, to make it that much more cooling? Another nifty idea is to slap it all over yourself after your bath — a small square of cotton saturated with your favorite cologne will do the trick nicely. That will help you prolong the cooling effects of your bath. One of my favorite colognes, and one that is priced just right for most pocketbooks (50 cents, 90 cents, $1.50) comes in vertical ribbed bottles that handle easily, won't slip out of the soapiest hands. You'll like the springlike scent — it'll cool you off the most torrid of days — and the green and lavender floral decor of the bottles. Be sure, too, that your morning self is really fresh. Hot weather is no time to slip up on perspiration control (as though you would at any time!). There's a white cream that does a slick job of taking the odor out of perspiration. It's easy and harmless to use — half a minute (right after shaving if you wish) is all you'll need to rub it into the skin thoroughly. The small ten cent size of the white jar, with its leaf-wreathed screw cap, is easy to carry in the purse, to the office, for reapplication when you want to be surer than sura. The larger (35 and 60 cents) ones belong in your bathroom. Want the name? Q. Even though I rub myself down thoroughly after my bath, I still wage a tug of war with my girdle — and that makes me warmer than ever. What to do? A. Pat, don't rub, yourself thoroughly dry. Then dust over yourself a fine, fragrant powder. I'll be glad to send you the name of an alluringly scented talcum powder which will keep your body cool and comfortable all day long, make your girdle slip on quick as a flash. You can use the shaker can liberally, lavishly, because the powder sells at the surprisingly low price of 25 and 75 cents. Q. My husband objects to a creamcovered face, but my skin looks like an old shoe when I slip up on the creams. I work during the day, so that's out. When shall I lubricate my face? A. Why not apply your lubricating cream just before your bath, leave it on while you soak. The warm air of the bathroom will relax your pores, help the softening oils penetrate further and faster, do a better job in less time. There's a fluffy white all-purpose cream that lubricates while it cleanses, leaves your skin soft and smooth so that make-up clings perfectly. The rose capped white jars come in 10, 20, 55 and 83 cent and $1.38 sizes — the largest contains enough to last you for five or six weeks, depending on how often you "teaspoon" out the cream. Q. In summer you can almost see the hair grow on my legs. Is there anything I can do to control this? A. Naturally hair grows faster in summer, when the warmth and the sun stimulate it. You'll just have to make up your mind to use a hair remover oftener then For week-end trips, why not tuck into your suit case a convenient hair removing mitt? You rotate this, for about three minutes, over your shaggy surfaces. (For best results, be sure that your skin is completely dry.) It will leave your arms and legs as smooth as a baby's.
