Care Of The Skin
A beautiful skin is smooth, soft and clear; the color varies in
different individuals. In perfect health it is moist and with the
delicate shading of a flower--climate, hair and eyes, of course,
determining the color, and the continued beauty of it depending upon
pure blood, fresh air and sunlight, also perfect cleanliness and care.
The pores should always be kept free from obstruction and extremes of
hea
and cold avoided as much as possible. In health, the care of the
skin is a simple matter, massage being a great factor, assisted always
by the use of pure creams. A good cleansing cream is a great necessity,
as it enters the pores and frees them from dirt, leaving the skin soft
and pliable, in which condition it is ready to absorb the skin food when
the finger massage is given, making it possible for the gentle electric
current to force the ointment into the deeper layers of the skin, thus
effecting the removal of moth patches, tan, freckles and other
discolorations and imperfections. The vibratory massage should follow,
the purpose of which is to stimulate the tissues, throwing off worn-out
particles and increasing the circulation of the blood by giving proper
exercise to the facial muscles, thereby restoring and preserving the
color and contour, making the skin beautiful, clear, eradicating and
preventing wrinkles.
The use of a pure face powder is absolutely necessary. Best results are
obtained by using a blended powder, as the skin tint is thus assured.
