Soap and water? “Never” says Sandra Dee, “ not for my skin!” She pampers her complexion with gentle creams. For an oily skin, though, soap and water — lots of it — -is the answer. For any skin, all the stars agree, “ Keep it clean.”

Pamper dry skin with gentle creams or lotion cleanser, rich night cream and moisture lotion for day-long protection under makeup. Oily skin needs a thorough cleansing three times a day. Using a mild complexion soap, work up rich lather, massage well into skin and rinse until no speck of suds remains, with warm, then cold water.
8 Now begin at the top — of your head, that is.
To put life and shine back into your topknot, try one hundred licks a night with a good stiff hairbrush. Start thinking about how you’ll wear your hair. When you shampoo your hair and the suds are still on it, try a little soap sculpture, pushing your locks . here and there to see how some of the new styles might look. Choose one only if it flatters you and is easily managed by that same you. If you’re going to need a permanent, get it now, so that week-after stiffness will have vanished into a just-right soft curl. Get that new haircut now, too, so you’ll have had plenty of practice combing it.
Remember Ingrid Bergman in “Indiscreet” — the vibrant glow, the warm laughter, the inner poise? It comes from being yourself and liking what you are. It’s not easy, so start with the surface. If you’re the freshas-a-breeze casual type, stop straining for siren effects. Think of the people you like. Aren’t they mostly people who give of themselves — give willing help, courtesy, sincere interest, thought? But you can’t experiment on a newly-met romance till you’ve practiced first. Look interested and be interested in what your parents are saying. You’ll be brushing up on the fine art of listening, flattering to any male and dynamite on a shy one.
Don’t forget the daily paper. Practice your conversation by springing the latest headline gleanings on your dad. After the first shock, he’ll love it. Carol Lynley’s face and figure word to you is “Walking.” She claims there’s nothing like the mild exercise of a walk for complexion and general body tone. It’s also a chance to be alone with your thoughts, or, if you’re teaming with a friend, to discuss your book. Start to get your wardrobe in shape. Make sure all buttons, hooks, snaps are where they should be. If hems are crooked or too long, fix them now. Hem slips, too, to match the new length.
Now that you’re practicing charm on the family, just see if it doesn’t pay off. Enlist your big brother’s or sister’s aid in brushing up on your dancing. A couple of sessions a week should see you confidently onto the ballroom floor. More about that poised you? Philosopher William James advises that you don’t smile because you’re happy, but that you’re happy because you smile. Turn up the corners of your month and see if it doesn’t work. But remember, a smile that’s frozen on at all times isn’t convincing. Smile when you feel like it, but see if a better-looking, more-interesting you doesn’t feel like it more often.
If you’re half the girl we think you are, you’ve been giving your complexion the kind of care that already shows results. Now for the fun part, selecting your evening makeup: Your artwork will start ( Continued on page 62)
