The great disadvantage or a dry skin is that it is more susceptible to wrinkles—the nightmare of all wo- men! A dry slain needs lots of nour- ishment so be generous with cream.. A warm oil face -pack, carried out not more than once a fortnight, should help immensely. Cut a piece of muslin with holes for eyes and to slit for the mouth and nose, and soak it in a saucerful of warns almond oil. Lie clown on your back and apply to your face. More warm oil can be added to the mask with a soft paint brash while it is still on. It should be kept thoroughly soaked for 15 minutes. ,Your, skin will literally sop up the oil and be beautifully clear and soft after the treatment If your complexion persists fu peeling and has a slightly s: nrvy 0p pe.tanc,+, hove this warns nil pu'1 01100 or twice a week for a titre. hrrp yoLr le 11. 1.'s,, 1 f. ntE 1411 ••p •lnd warm wit*t: al ut t •>ld.
