BEAUTY IN BORACIC For the Skin A weak solution of boracic acid—in the proportion of half a saltspoonful to a tumbler of water—dabbed over the face morning and evening, will keep your skin cool, and innocent of “shine." Furthermore, as it is faintly astringent, boracic powder exerts a marked refining influence on the skin. The unhappy owners of coarse-grained complexions should make a special note of this. Let them try out the treatment regularly, and rejoice at the result! If the skin is naturally dry, however, a few drops of glycerine should be added to the skin tonic. Boracic alone is drying. For the Hair One of the best-known scalp specialists urges clients to rinse their combs and brushes in warm water that contains just a pinch of boracic powder. He also instructs them to keep a scent spray filled with boracic lotion on their dressing-tables, so that from time to time they may still further disinfect their coiffure “utensils,” so to speak. Spray both brush and comb—at night—twice a week. That is his advice to those who seek it. Camphor water is equally effective, and be used in the same way. ADd camphor has a definitely stimulating effect on the scalp. Sufferers from dandruff may well give either of these j methods a trial. They are simplicity | itself, as are so many of the “tips” j received from the experts we pay so j handsomely:
