BEAUTY SUGGESTIONS
HINTS WORTH STUDYING. It’s a good plan sometimes to wash the hands in vinegar or lemon-juice and rinse them afterwards in tepid water. Or witch hazel is good for your hands, and especially if they perspire. Touching the lashes with castor-oil will increase the growth, and red vaseline is also good. It’s not well to form a habit of sleeping on one side only, because it might cause wrinkles and crow’s feet about the eyes. It is advisable to sleep on the back, and, alternatively, on both sides. To rest the eyes occasionally is important. The lines that come around the eyes are not always due to advancing years, but to eye-strain, lowered vitality, and lack of bodily health generally. The regular use of vaseline will make the lashes a few shades darker than the natural colour. Pure vaseline well rubbed in is an excellent nourishment. This should be done before retiring, • and the lashes well brushed upwards, so that the natural curve is well retained. Tea makes an excellent tonic for the eyes, for the tannic acid which is extracted from the leaves is a good astringent.
