Cleansing and Beautifying
Tender Skin
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
For some time I‘ve been experimenting to find a cleansing agent for
those readers of mine who belong neither to the cream or soap and water
brigade. There are many of you, I know, who don't care for cleansing
% creams and yet who feel as though you'd like soma
preparation that would help to preserve the skin
more than soap and water does.
Then. too. many skins become red and blotched
after the use of even a bland soap. In such cases
one of the following cleansing milks may solve your
problem quickly and satisfactorily. Anyway, iti
worth a trial.
In the first, soap and rose water are combined
and it makes a delightful cleanser Just as efficient
as cream or soap and water and it also has refining
qualities that surpass those in many of the average
creams.
To one heaping tablespoonful of Castile soap,
which has been shaved fine, add three tablespoon*
fuls of hot water. Let this stand until the soap has
kWDHINE m*lted then add a pint and a half of rose water
hi m F«nnKl and a *ew drops of of rose The oU °* ro«*
rwuixoiun only Jor so may ^ dispensed with if you
wish. Stir this mixture gently until it is thoroughly blended. To use.
saturate a fairly large pad of cotton with the lotion and rub it gently
over the face and neck, using more lotion and fresh cotton when neces
sary. umu a moist pat. can oe pass-^
ed over the sktn without becoming
soiled. Let the skin dry naturally,
then wring out a fresh washcloth
in cold water and wipe off the face
and throat, once again letting the
skin dry naturally.
This preparation Is cleansing and
particularly soothing. It should be
allowed to replace soap and water
or cold cream cleansings for a test
period of two days. If at the end
of that time the lotion appears to
agree with the skin continue cleans
ing the skin with It. If not. you
naturally should stop using it.
Another cleansing lotion which
might suit the requirement of your
particular skin better than the first
is made as follows:
To one-half ounce of hot water
add one ounce of finely-shaved
Castile soap. Let It dissolve. To
this add one-half teaspoonful of
salts of tartar and two ounces of
sweet almond oil. When the above
f
ingredients have cooled add two
ounces of alcohol and a scant quart
of rose water. This, too, may ba
scented by adding a few drops o<
oil of rose.
Blend the mixture thoroughly
and use it in exactly the same way
as outlined for the f. st lotion.
This second preparation is par
ticularly good if the skin is inclined
to dryness, since both the sweet
almond oil and rose water are good
for such conditions. The amount
of alcohol that is added Is not suf
ficient to harm the dry skin, sinca
it is used in such a small propor
tion.
In mixing either of the abov#
preparations please follow' the pro*
portions carefully, so that the lotto*
will be properly made.
Porcelain or glass bowls and pant
should be used for mixing them and
a glass or enamel spoon for stirring.
