COMMANDMENTS FOR BEAUTY
relax your skin with a little home-grown massage, follow those same arrows, always smoothing and lifting up— never down. But to get on with the treatment for the normal skin — two or three times a week this sort of skin should treat itself to some remedial preparation. Even normal skins have their bad moments ; there may be a sudden, slight excess of oil around the nose and chin. Then, quick, the astringent lotion and a nice clean pad of cotton to pat the shiny areas. Or a drying and drawnup feeling may set in around the eyes and on the fleshy part of the cheeks. Then tissue cream should be patted into the skin and left on all night to smooth up the skin and keep future wrinkles away.
Enough, however, of this attention to the normal skin. Let's tackle something more difficult — and more prevalent. The oily skin. Spotted with blackheads and possibly pimples. The most exasperating, hardest-to-powder
(Above) Joan Crawford scorns the Cupid's bow. Why be like everyone else? That's the natural shape of Joan's mouth, cleverly accentuated with lipstick— strong, sensuous and characterful. (Right) That's what is meant by a "deep wave." Girls who possess truly beautiful features, like Mary Astor, and also tall, tailored girls who are smart and wholesome looking should adopt the deep wave rather than wisps and curls.
sort of skin. I get so many letters about it !
WHY do blackheads and oily skin usually go together? Well, you see, it's this way: the oil glands •in the skin become clogged. They get lazy and no one wakes them up with a stimulant. The opening of each little gland, known as a pore, does its best to throw off the excess accumulation of oil — it opens very wide, which causes large pores — but to no avail. The opening and the gland leading to it becomes clogged with the oil and dirt and perspiration and rubbed-in powder. This wormlike thread ends in a little black lump which we know all too well as a blackhead.
Such a skin should be cleansed with something rough and slightly grainy. Such a cleanser, used with plenty of warm water and persuasive friction, will rub away the more prominent blackheads, remove dead tissue and leave the skin soft and stimulated. Then most of the remaining blackheads can be pressed out (with fingers padded with tissue). Stubborn ones should be left for another treatment. Now the skin is clean and clear, but the pores are still open. Many people rub a fairly strong astringent on to close the pores, which is all very well in its way, but after a blackhead treatment a cream is better. It is more soothing and will not irritate any spot which may be sensitive after the scrubbing and the squeezing. A medicated cream that is quite greaseless is the thing. It should be applied at night and left on all night.
An efficient simple treatment for a mild case of blackheads is as follows : mix two tablespoons of Fuller's earth with enough witch hazel to make a whipped cream
