oijs nourish and promote the growth of the hair On some faces this hair has such a tendency to spring into sight that the greatest care must be taken not to give these hair germs an atom of nourishment nour-ishment If the woman knows that hair is apt to grow on her face she must avoid creams that have any oil in them Intense perspiration promotes the growth of hair A person from the temperate zone upon going down into the tropics is frequently astonished to see a crop of hair starting out on his face Which hair he knows perfectly well that he does not need as a protection
