First of all, lot us always hoar In mind that wo must fool "bounty" and llvo "hoauty" from within. lVn't loso sight of the mind's Influence In-fluence on bounty. For while we can enhance tho depth and color of our eyes with eyo shadow and mascara, and the outline of our lips with lip paste, If eyes and Hps show a discontented, dis-contented, fretful, cynical or selllsh disposition, no make-up will hide it. The expression of our eyes and our tips truly mirror our disposition, disposi-tion, our thoughts. M e must also bear in mind the fact that health Is the foundation of beauty. All belief to the contrary, It Is not possible to be truly beautiful beauti-ful without perfect health. Every part of our body must be in tune. Health is not possible without proper prop-er exercise and a sane diet. Granted, Grant-ed, that in your home lives or professional pro-fessional lives you are active, you are busy, still there are muscles and organs which are dormant, and only through concentrated, snappy exercise exer-cise can we gain that vitality so much desired. Five minutes devoted de-voted to such exercise will assure a good circulation, bright eyes and clear skin. Diet is Important too. Water eight glasses daily is another an-other health essential and so Is fresh air. Regular elimination plays an important part. And restful sleep, too. These fundamentals of health are very closely related to beauty. Understanding these things, we understand too that beauty creams and lotions play a very important part but health must help beauty along. Some women expect both health and beauty to pop from a cleansing cream jar. External aids alone are not sufficient Now let us start our home treat- ment. Arrange to have everytning that you will need conveniently at hand. It makes for efficiency saves time. Perhaps you are fortunate enough to have one of the little lit-tle French hand-decorated poudre tables. Or perhaps you plan to buy an unpainted one (they are reasonably reason-ably priced and easily painted to harmonize with bathroom or bedroom). bed-room). If you do not have one, arrange ar-range your necessary preparations on a convenient shelf, or in a large box or basket Attention is focused on the eyes. Not only the eyes themselves but the lashes and brows. The frame for the eyes should add beauty and expression ex-pression to the picture. PROPER EQUIPMENT BEFORE we consider the first step in a home facial, let us see what every woman should have on hand : first cleansing cream and skin tonic, then a good nourishing and preserving skin food, astringent and a finishing cream if the skin is dry or a finishing lotion if it is normal or oily. The home facial I am outlining out-lining is for the woman whose skin is quite normal. For the blemished skin correctives may be necessary, but these will be treated subsequently. subse-quently. Another thing you will need is absorbent ab-sorbent cotton, cleansing tissues and do get a roll of two-inch bandage for your tie-up. Make-up items come next. You should have powder in the proper shade to harmonize with your skin tone, cream rouge to add a bit of color to your cheeks, and lip paste. If your brows are light you will need an eyebrow pencil. But eyery woman should have an eyebrow brush to brush the lashes and brows free from powder and perhaps a little vaseline to give brows and lashes a little sheen and luster, after the treatment. Mascara in your own particular shade and eye shade to add depth to the eyes are optional. 1 Having arranged all these beauty1 articles conveniently, we will also need two small glass bowls and a small piece of ice. First make two small flat pads of absorbent cotton -one pad to apply cleansing cream -another to remove every bit of cream after the treatment. Make the pads by taking a fluffy piece of cotton and squeezing in cold water. Also make a patter by folding a square piece of cotton about six inAlways-before starting a treatment! treat-ment! even if It is Just a short makeup make-up treatment, apply a head band to nrotect your hair.
