It pays to pamper your skin with a weekly facial and it’s easy as pie to do, too. Here’s a simple routine used by professionals .. . step-by-step method for the kind of cleans- ing, lubricating, refreshing fa- cial that can do wonders for your complexion. First of all, wearing a head band to protect your hair and a plastic cosmetic cape over your shoulders, apply cleansing cream from the base of your throat up to your hairline. Wipe off the first application. Repeat the creaming, this time removing it with a pad of cotton soaked in skin tonic. This double cleansing with cream gets right down into the pores to float out dust and grime. Lubrication is one of the most important parts of skin care, esp- ecially as the years go by and the skin tends to lose elasticity. A good rich lubricating cream can delay the appearance of wrinkles. Using any one of the rich emol- lient creams available at your drugstore, dot the cream on fore- head, cheeks, tip of nose, chin and underchin. With a light touch pat cream around the delicate tissues of your eyes. With a firm- {er upward and outward motion mould cream into throat, cheeks | and forehead. Let this cream soak minutes. Next, choose a facial mask to freshen and revitalize your com- plexion. This is a wonder worker for drab, sallow skins. There are many good facial masks availabe at your drugstore, so smooth on the one you select, following dir- ection faithfully. Be careful not to come within an inch of your eyes in any direction. mask hardens you'll feel the pull ;On your skin.

Now comes the time for relax- ation in the famous “beauty rest” Position with your head low and your feet elevated. An ironing board with one end placed on a pehair, makes a first rate beautv jagst: Lie in this position for fif- teen minutes while the mask dries thoroughly.

Ice should jmever be used directly on the |skin, the too intense cold might ; break small blood vessels and 18ive your complexion a mottled | look, To remove the mask you can use either warm water or a pad of cotton in skin tonic. That's the final step in your home facial routine. Now apply your make- up skilfully and look in the mir- ror at a more beautiful YOU. .
