Show I Beauty Talks By ! MARJORIE DUNCAN Famous Beauty Expert What to Do About It PERSPIRING hands are often associated asso-ciated with nervousness and impaired im-paired health generally. See your physician phy-sician to make sure you are in good health. If the condition is merely temporary and not the result of any organic difficulty the application of a skin tonic, witch hazel, or the following follow-ing solution should help. Have your druggist make up an anti-perspiratiou lotion of one ounce tincture of belladonna bella-donna to two ounces of alcohol. Pat on the hands a few times a day and allow to dry. The skin tonic or witch hazel shruld be used the same way. A corn is nature's way of saying your shoes are too tight. Your toes are sensitive, you know, and your shoe is pressing down too hard on your toes. By and by nature puts the callous cal-lous we recognize as corns on the toes to protect the delicate tissues from further abuse. The first tiling to do is to get a better tilting pair of shoes. Then use a good corn cure. There are many on the market. A very deft hand can remove the callous with a sharp instrument after the feet have remained in very hot water for about fifteen minutes. Eut far better than either the corn cure, corn plaster or cutting is a visit to a reputable chiropodist. It Is very important to treat your skin while reducing, as it needs special care in order to avoid flabbiness or a drawn, haggard look. Quite some time ago I had a group of women experiment experi-ment with a treatment which proved highly successful. First the skin was thoroughly cleansed. Then a nourishing nourish-ing cream applied a rich, oily emollient emol-lient and without removing this cream a quite strong astringent patted pat-ted over face and neck. The astringent astrin-gent penetrated and tightened while the emollient nourished and softened, thuj avoiding any drying effect. Such a treatment will keep the skin smooth, the muscles taut and the contour firm. W7hile on the subject of reducing, let me warn you not to reduce too fast lest it takes its toll from the skin to say nothing of its detrimental effect on general health. Freckles cannot be removed "very quickly," for anything strong enough to remove them would very likely be injurious to the surrounding skin. Try the peroxide and lemon bleach (equal parts). Pat on, allow to dry, and follow fol-low by a massage with nourishing cream, allowing the cream to remain for five or ten minutes. A stronger bleach can be made with pumice powder pow-der and peroxide stirred to a creamy paste. Apply over the freckles, allow to dry, remove with a cloth moistened with cool water and follow with the nourishing cream. Three Sides to Your Face THERE may be two sides to every other vital issue, but there are three sides to your face. No doubt you are familiar with the full-face reflection re-flection you usually see in your mirror. But do you intimately know the right profile and the left? If you do, then you know also that each differs rather radically from the other. Precious few faces are perfectly balanced. And no matter, for slight asymmetry is said to indicate interest in-terest and versatility. But, pronounced pro-nounced lack of balance can by careful study, adjustment of makeup make-up and coiffure be minimized. An elaborate study of the "three sides of your face" will tell you why the triple mirror is so necessary and so valuable to every beauty-loving woman. The full-face view, which is the one we ourselves are most familiar fa-miliar with, is usually the kindest of the three. But others see the two other oth-er sides. So let us study ourselves and see ourselves as others see us and strive to make each of the three pictures pic-tures a very perfect one. Buying a new hat and a new, thrilling thrill-ing experience each should be should mean a very careful study in front of a triple mirror. Your own experience can teach you more than any beautician, beau-tician, for every face is a law unto itself. You can suddenly discover that a little asymmetrical turn or twist on one side and a different treatment on the other will serve to enhance each profile view, without in the least detracting de-tracting from the full-face picture. That is precisely why the tri-cornered hats with the third corner placed here, there and everywhere were becoming be-coming to so many women. Don't choose a hat because it gives the wax mannequin an intriguing air. How does it fit your face? And how does it enhance every one of the three views? That subtle art the application of makeup should also provide food for study, with the triple mirror as your constant helpmate. Vanity? Indeed not. Precision and perfection to an exacting degree is what you are striving striv-ing for. Scrutinize your makeup from all three views. The profile usually tells the truth. And often rouge placed a wee hit differently on one cheek almost imperceptibly so, of course, a bit higher or lower or extending outward out-ward a little more will give the face more balance and more beauty. This applies, of course, to your coiffure, coif-fure, too. And this is the reason for the introduction of so much swirling and Indication and the unbalanced hair arrangements. (. 1932.
