THE FRECKLED FACE
Women always look their best, in summer because, contrary to the gen* eral belief among them, real beauty of face is shown in the ruddy cqmplexion which the sun brings out. But summer has its foes. Freokles are particularly troublesome to women with fair, delicate skins, and are easier to prevent than td euro. A woman who is liable to freckle should always use a parasol yellow, brown, or red material when she is exposed to the sun, or a very broad brimmed haMined with the same colours would serve the purpose as well. When by the sea, the glare of which is even wojfse than the sun-'s direct light,' she should wear a sun veil of one of thesY colours;* a spotted one would injure t!ae eyes..
Tho following lotion helps to prevent freckling:—Zinc oxido, two drachms; powdered calamine, two, drachms; olive oil, 3oz; weak solution of araraoiiia, loz; roscwater, 3^o?j f This should' be obtained from a chemist, and should gbe rubbed lightly on tho face (not too near the eyes), the neck, and other uncovered parts before going out into the sunshine.
> If ihe freckling is slight, the follow* ing application may effect a cure;— Buttermilk applied at night or a mis* ture of one-part lemon juice and two parts / rosewater, or boracle ' lotion,, which is also antiseptic and wards off |pimplo3. Dr. Erasmus "Wilson recommended a mixture composed o$ 2oz. limewatcr, 2oz linseed oil, ans 4oz. solution :of ammonia, Tho bottle should be well shaken before use, and the lotion applied at night. A fow light-coloured are no disfigurement, but sometimes ian addition to beauty. Tho girls aihould' not, in any case, bo too concerned, about tho effect of the sun on'their skins, for by being much out in ,tho summer weather they are gaing, good ' health and pure blood, the foundation ! of beauty. I If freckles, however, are very dark' they can be bleached, or even temporarily removed altogether, to effect this can be safely -applied only a by a doctor. Continued ex- : posture to -•the sun is bound a' cause | freckles again to appear, tio that it is | really wisest for any girl merely fo confine herself to siniple measures of prevention. j
