Prirvl Name— Addresj TRIAL BOTTLE "On The T>RY Side" Winter Skin Can Be Corrected When You Recognize Your Type. NOT long ago, at a cocktail party, I saw Ann Sothern, her golden hair piled high under a bright green frou-frou of ostrich, her blonde skin very flower-like. In her hotel suite in New York recently, I marveled at the clear beauty of Gail Patrick's skin, delicate, very fair and luminous against her dark hair, parted in the middle and curled softly and rather low. I will always remember the vital, almost golden tone of Joan Blondell's vivacious face, and the true gardenia texture of red-haired Margot Grahame's skin. The stars do have good skin; or let me say, the stars can have good skin. For I have seen a few on vacation from the studios when they just forgot themselves and too much sun, wind or cold had worked the same havoc that they work on our faces. However, the stars know the way to get skin in condition again. They use soap and water, cleansing and softening cream, and many have little pet ideas in the way of special treatments, especially masks, usually home-made ones of food ingredients. Of one thing you may be sure, if you are going to face any skin annoyances, they will usually come in the Winter. This, because cold weather changes the general method of living for many and resistance becomes lowered, largely due to too much indoor life, more and heavier food, and night social life that keeps us up too late. We feel the result, and we show it in hair. skin, nails, in figure sometimes and in general lassitude. Skin, however, seems the most serious target. It becomes dry and taut, little unexpected lines appear, make-up doesn't go on smoothly and often we look in the mirror with despair. There are three things to think about in correcting this condition: Your general health and vitality. Sensitive, young skins need cream, too, for cleansing and soothing. A lesson in use by Bonita Granville. That heavy, downward pull, at right, is wrong. The left, upward movement, above, is right! which depend upon plenty of exercise, fresh air, as much sunshine as you can get and a sufficiently nourishing diet, rich in vitamins. Facial preparations that are right for your special needs. Correct use of these preparations. Everyone is talking vitamins today, in fact, even seeing them. For in the cosmetics departments of -some stores, you may have noticed a neat flat box of little pellets, the amber ones arranged on one side, the dark ones on the other. They look almost like a game of some sort until you look closer and see that these are Vitamins Plus, a convenient form of getting your daily quota of vitamins and, from all that I hear, a beauty and vitality secret of many women. Take one of each color daily with a meal and know that your system has had a good ration of vitamins A, B, C, D, E and G. Of course you can't be sparkling and radiant if your energy is low, if your whole body feels let down. Of course, too, you are discouraged at skin that simply won't look its best in spite of care; in hair that won't take a good permanent; in spirits that you simply can't lift because they're as heavy as lead. The idea of Vitamins Plus is that if your lack of energy is due to lack of vitamins — and this is often the case — here in concentrated form is what you need. [Continued on page 12] 10 Silver Screen
