Check Up On Your Legs: They Need A Lot Of Care

Longer skirts still a few inches of legs, so don’t neglect to periodically check up on their appearance. Remove shadow fuzz that shows through fine stockings, trim pads of flesh from calves and ankles, make the feet as pretty and as softfinished as the hands. Soapy latherings and scrubbing with a nail brush make for creamy skin softness. Add extra silkiness with hand lotion afterwards and talc powder'before you pull on your stockings. Strip off leg fuzz at inter vals with cream depilatory; intervals can be lengthened if you bleach roots with peroxide each day in between. Leg plumpness yields to hardworking massage. Sit on the floor, coat palms, with talc, then draw up a leg so that you can grasp flesh near the ankle with both hands. With firm movements travel slowly up leg, kneading, rolling and pinching up the flesh as you go. To slim ankles walk barefooted on tip-toe up and down stairs, cross legs and circle the foot that swings, use toes as fingers to pick up small objects, work milk bottle

along the floor with toes and hall of foot. For comfortable feet - treat them with eau de Cologne after a bath, powder thickly between toes. Clip toenails' straight across, trim cuticles back and varnish your nails as you do your hands. Ease aching feet w/ith iodine added to a cooling A>ot bath, and take any serious trouble to a good chiropodist.
