Show WOMAN'S WORLD Exercise and Diet Essential in Anv Skin Care Proa mm By Ertta Haley KIN BEAUTY is essential dur- ing the whole year, but since most of us are meeting old friends and new more during holiday time than at any other, we'd like to give our best impression. There's nothing like the beauty of a healthy, attractive skin to give beauty to a woman or a teen-ager. With glowing countenance, she can face any situation confidently and be certain that she is giving a good impression.

Follow with a brisk rub with a dry, absorbent towel. The towel bath is a modification of the sponge bath, and may be used if you don't have a basin handy. It is often used if you are just getting over a cold and don't want to expose ex-pose yourself to all-over immersion in water. Soak the turkish towel in mild, warm suds and go over the whole body. Rub hard. Rinse the towel thoroughly in clear water and go over all the area. Follow this, too, with a brisk rub with a dry towel. All Types of-Skin Need Soap Cleansing Cream cleansing is advised for skin, but not to the neglect of soap and water. There are such skins which react unwillingly to the overuse over-use of too much soap and water, but even then this type of cleaning should not be neglected. Choose only a very mild soap for facial cleaning. Use lukewarm water wa-ter and work a good lather out of soap which is to be applied to the face quickly and lightly. Rinse this off promptly. Dry thoroughly and apply lotion or cream. Those with thick or oily skin should use hot water generously and rub the lather into the skin vigorously. vigor-ously. Follow this with a cold rinse, splashing the face vigorously. Since i3 this type of skin is already oily, cream or oil need not be used after washing. If you are looking for a very mild soap, choose one which has non-irritating non-irritating perfume as well as soap in which fats and alkali have been combined carefully so there is no excess of the alkali. Enhance Natural Beauty With Sensible Make-Up Make-up is a normal procedure in making the face more attractive than it would be without it. Heavy make-up is not essential or even recommended, but something of the art of bringing out the natural skin beauty is of benefit to every woman. A slight blush in the cheeks, so slight that you hardly notice it, brings more color to the eyes, for example. A touch up to the lips will prevent them from having that faded look which all but few have. Heavy shine, too, is worth some effort in combatting for somehow this makes pores seem larger and contours unflattering. You may use a foundation plus powder, or what is newer, a combination make-up that is dry but gives you foundation and powder at the same time. This is excellent for mothers to recommend recom-mend especially to the teen-ager who uses make-up with too heavy a touch, for this gives lightness that is flattering. The latest eye make-up is very striking but it takes expert hands to apply if it is to give the desired results. Most women still prefer only a minimum of penciling and shadow only at evening for the eyes. Holidays are a good time to start because they're an incentive to looking look-ing our best. Skin care started now may be just the thing you need to carry you through the whole year. Check over your diet list first. If yours includes too many rich foods, your skin may be breaking out constantly, con-stantly, and this is impossible to control with external care. Delete the rich foods and you'll notice great Improvement in a week. Skin will benefit from a balanced diet that's rich in fruit and vegetables vegeta-bles with simple dressings and seasonings. sea-sonings. Include milk, eggs and a moderate amount of protein foods such as meat in place of the sweets Santa Claus will have done right well by the young lady who receives an ivory white case containing all-in-one foundation and powder intended to give the wearer the complexion of an angel. The compact-case bears a flower design etched in gold and contains a full view mirror, adequate for fixing hair or lips, as necessary. because it's good for you, but also because you'll be more attractive. When you stand properly and breathe deeply, your blood circulates circu-lates more freely, and your whole body, including your skin, will respond re-spond to this care. If at all possible, take some form of bath after vigorous exercise. You will have perspired freely, which is to the good, but if you don't wash away the impurities, the pores of the skin will clog and prevent proper prop-er elimination of sweat, oil and other products which the skin must throw off. Many Bathing Facilities Offer Adequate Cleanliness Regular bathing is essential to good skin care, namely, to wash off impurities which would otherwise tend to clog the pores. A tub or Daily cleansing is essential . , . and starches you may have been consuming. There is such a thing as beauty sleep, for if you get your quota of seven or eight hours nightly, you can do a lot to erase harsh lines on the skin just by the relaxation. Get Daily Quota ftm r , snower Dath may not always be possible pos-sible because you lack the facilities, the hot water or the warm room in winter. This doesn't mean you should skip the bath. You can always get enough heat and heat enough hot water to take one of the other types of baths which, properly administered, admini-stered, will give you as much cleanliness clean-liness as the tub or shower. Con- vi dcruae Exercise is something else you should watch if you want to have good skin. Though it may seem a bit remote at first thought, exercise is as essential to skin beauty as cleanliness, diet and rest. When you get some vigorous exercise exer-cise everyday, you not only stir the circulation, but you perspire more freely. Perspiration stimulates skin action and thus frees the pores of surface dirt, and this means that you can wash away skin impurities and dead cells more readily. You don't have to take special courses to get the proper exercise, although these are recommended if you have the time. If you don't, then reorganize whatever you do, so that it will amount to exercise. As you make the beds, move around the bed freely, turn the mattress, mat-tress, fluff pillows and tuck the covers underneath, do all these things briskly. When you walk, to shopping or just around the house doing your work, don't dawdle. Stand up straight, walk energetically, breathe deeply.

You can take a sponge bath in as little as a quart of water. You may want to use more, but it's possible to get clean in that small amount.
