After Wetting the Wn.Moil, W ith Lukewarm Water and Rubbing It U»er W ith Soap, Use Your Finger* to Work Up a Rich Luther Before Applying It to Your Face. By Delight Dixon ENLARGED porca—the buga boo of the fastidious wo man! Today I'm going to give you suggestions for treat ments that will banish coarse akin texture so you, too—with the use of the new cosmetics— may have a normal skin that’s soft, smooth and lovely. Enlarged pores, you know, don’t happen all of a sudden; further more, no one is i mmunt from tins beauty-mar r i n g condition. For years science has been busily engaged in an nciigM uixon. effort to get at the root of it and there have been many plausible answers to that important ques tion. “What cauies enlarged pores?“ One of the tfioit accepted an swers (which comes from a fa mous dermatologist) is that we do not shed our skin fast enough. Thus old skin, layer upon layer, accumulates on the surface. The lower layer—which is called the reticular—is constantly renewing itself and merging into the up per layer of the dermis; so that if the outer layer would always flake off as it should, our true— or outer—skin texture would al ways be smooth and fine. Incorrect cleansing methods, improper cosmetics, poor circula tion, wrong diet, lack of fresh air and insufficient sleep are all given as contributing factors to this unlovely condition. By incorrect cleansing 1 mean the use of creams when your type of skin should have soap and water; or, conversely, the use of soap and water when a good cream would prove more benefi cial. Or, again, when cleansing preparations—soap or cream— are permitted to remain in the pores. This is believed to be what originally opens the way for coarse skin. - When the skin is ony super ficially cleansed and the pores What One Girl Wore— By Betty Brownlee EVEN • though scientists and weather experts claim that , our Waiters are gettiag milder each year, there are occa sionally days when the woolen trock is a blessing. It is almost « necessity to include one or tv^p "Mart warm frocks in the Winter wardrobe. Sheer wool crepes are lovely. Even tweeds are made with so fien a weave that they have en tirely lost that bulky appearance *o long associated with them. Soft jerseys and rabbit's wool make dresses that are as practi cal and comfortable as one could «vish for, and they are not the least bit scratchy as so many of them used to be. Consider, for instance, the *ery up-to-the-minute wool crepe frock sketched today. You could put this on in the morning and keep it on right through the tea date. And it’s simple enough for the business girl to wear dur ing business hours, too. Of navy blue, it is cut one piece, though it has a simulated two-piece tucked line at the hips. There is a youthful’ tucked col lar of light blue taffeta that ends in an ascot tie. The cuffs repeat the tucked treatment and are of the same fabric. A gleaming gold metal belt slips through loops and adds an effective color contrast. A Charming Frock of Wool Crepe in Navy U Set Off With a Collar and Cuff* of Pale Blue Taffeta.

Therefore, every trace of cream, soap or cosmetic must be removed from the pores with each cleansing. Don’t for get that! Take, for instance, the matter of soap and water tor tile regular facial bath. Most women moisten their washcloths with water, rub soap over them, then apply them directly to the skin. This is wrong because the larger parti cles of soap are then implanted into the pores and can only be removed by rinsing and rinsing, the correct way to perform this simple rite is to moisten the cloth and rub the soap over it. Then, using the fingers or the palm of the hand, work the. soap into a soft lather before applying it to your face. This breaks up the larger bits of soap so the minute particles in the lather will float into and out of the pores with an easy rinse. When make-up is more easily removed with cleansing cream, it’s necessary to remove all of it from the pores. Then follow with an-application of skin tonic to re move any greasiness which might have settled deep in the pores. An astringent should only be used when the pores are scrupu lously clean. When it is used on unclean skin, the pores are not able to close and the texture be comes coarser and coarser. Good circulation is necessary to skin loveliness as it enables us to throw off pore impurities more easily than when circulation is sluggish. Instead of soap, cream, cosmetics or grime find ing a comfortable “haven" in the pores, the rapid flow of blood routs the intruders and so aids in keeping our skin clean, almost transparent and finely textured. If your skin is of fine texture, simply continue using the cleans ing method that best suits it. If, however, its texture is only now becoming coarsened, “brush up" on its regular cleansing if you wish to avert worse beauty com plications, namely, comedones (blackheads) and excessive oili ness. Next; Wrap a Small piece qf Ice in a Square of Soft. Thin Velvet With the Nap of the Material on the Outride. Massage the Face with This for Several Minutes Using An Upward and Outward Stroke. Then Follow the Facial Scrubbing With a Cool Water Rinse and a Liberal Application of Witch-Haz el or Skin-Toning Lotion to Soothe the Face. in addition to the cleansing routine you now employ, use a soft complexion brush at least tw/ce each week. Have it gener ously lathered, then use it to scrub the impurities from the pores. This done, rinse the skin with tepid, then cold water.. Be liberal with the rinse as the pores must be absolutely freed of all soap before they can normally contract. Next moisten a pad of cotton with witch-hazel or skin toning lotion and rub it briskly over your face for a minute or two. This will gently close the pores and prepare the skin for the next step which is the ice massage. Never put ice directly on the skin. Wrap it in a piece of velvet with the nap side out. This, you’ll find, is ever so much softer and gentler than gauze. Begin low on your throat (you might as well get in some good corrective or preventive work on underchin muscles) and rub the velvet-covered ice up to the lobe of your ear. Completely ice-mas sage your neck, then move the Ice from the corner of your lips upward and outward to your hair line. Before applying this frigid beautifier to the under eyes, it’s advisahle to cover this area with a heavy coating of tissue cream or pure lanolin. When you have gone* ovei your face, throat and the nape of your neck with the ice, use a tissue or soft linen towel to pat Household Question Box By Mary D. FTtlson DfciAK J1KB. WILSON: I use brown sugar occasion ally tor cooking. I find that it lumps so quickly and as a result it is difficult to measure it ac curately. How can one prevent (hist Thank you. HOUSEWIFE Keep the sugar in an open ja/ or canister in the refrigerator and it will become and remain soft and free from lumps Dear mrs~wiilson I use rubber gloves when washing dishes and in attending to many of my household tasks. They seem to wear out so quick ly. I wonder if you can tell me of any way of caring tor them, so they will last longer. Thank you MRS. D. The life of a pair of rubber gloves can be greatly prolonged by proper care. Wash and rinse tho-onghly after each using, dry by pa'ting with a soft towel while on the hands, and dust with tal cam powder to remove the last traces of moisture. Then turn wrong side out and again dust with talcum to absorb all mois rure due to contact with the hands. Mend cuts immediately with patches of adhesive tape applied to the under side. When the ends of the fingers begin to show wear, turn the gloves and use them the other side out, the left glove thus becoming the right, and vice versa. In this eolumn each week Mrs. Mary D. Wilton will answer all questions concerning the household. . the skin dry. k Then to furthei aid Nature in shedding the outer dermis, saturate a piece of cotton with a strong astringent and pat it over your face. This, with the soap and water cleansing, fol lowed by a vigorous rubbing of skin-toning lotion or witch-hazel and the ice massage, will dry out the surface layer of your skin so it will flake off. Have you noticed that after correcting chapped facial skin it appears doubly smooth? That is because the outer layer ha3 flaked off. With this home treatment Nature is aided in her renewing process and the skin will be improved in texture and at least one shade lighter in color. For a very young lady, say fit teen to twenty, it’s best to use as mild a treatment as possible to refine the skin. When cosmetics are not generally used but large pores persist in giving, the skin 3 coarse appearance, it’s well to be gin corrective treatments at once The regular use of oatmeal bags will refine the skin and help keep it white. You can buy these little bags already made or you can make them vourself by put ting one teaspoonful of oatmeal in a square of gauze. One bag may be placed in the basin of face-cleansing water or, if a slightly stronger solution is re quired, you may moisten the bag Entire Face With After You Have (.one Over i It t tlie Ice Wrapped . c r Velv*h The., ,** “ 3°'* 1 issue to Remove All tlie Moisture and Excess Tissue (.ream from Around the Eyes and rub it directly over <oui face. Rinse the skin with cole water then saturate a piece o? cotton with witch-hazel and rul it upward over your face, espe daily over the nose, forehead and chin. The nightly use of oatmeal foi the face cleansing should bring a noticeable improvement after the second week. Oatmeal serves a fourfold purpose: it softens the water, acts as an excellent cleanser, is astringent, and whitens the skin. You’ll also find a splendid as sortment of facial packs and masks in your drug or depart ment store. These may be used at home and are especially com pounded to correct enlarged; pores.
