1. The question most often asked by women is regarding the art of
retaining, with advancing years, the bloom and grace of youth. This secret
is not learned through the analysis of chemical compounds, but by a
thorough study of nature's laws peculiar to their sex. It is useless for
women with wrinkled faces, dimmed eyes and blemished skins to seek for
external applications of beautifying balms and lotions to bring the glow of
life and health into the face, and yet there are truths, simple yet
wonderful, whereby the bloom of early life can be restored and retained, as
should be the heritage of all God's children, sending the light of beauty
into every woman's face. The secret:
2. Do not bathe in hard water; soften it with a few drops of ammonia, or a
little borax.
3. Do not bathe the face while it is very warm, and never use very cold
water.
4. Do not attempt to remove dust with cold water; give your face a hot
bath, using plenty of good soap, then give it a thorough rinsing with warm
water.
