SHOULDER BEAUTY

KEEP THEM YOUNG. To keep the shoulders young and beautiful you will have to carry out two separate treatments. One will be purely and simply beautify, while the other will entail an exercise which will enable you to acquire a perfect should-er-line.

First we will deal with the beautifying treatments.

Muddy skin, open pores, and blackheads. spoil many an otherwise pair of perfect shoulders. To rid yourself of these minor blemishes you must first thoroughly cleanse -the skin. With the aid of a good soap and a soft nailbrush thoroughly scrub the back and shoulders, using a rotary movement. -Work up a good lather and allow it to remain on the skin for a few minutes, then rinse it away with warm water and dry thoroughly with a soft towel. The above treatment not only invigorates the skin, but the lather soaks into the pores and allows a thorough removal of the impurities which have been clogging them. You will now go on to the second part of the treatment, and with either a little oil of sweet almonds or a nourishing cream you will soften the skin. If you use the oil you will apply it with a piece of cottonwool, and if you use the cream it will be applied with the fingertips, but whichever you may use it will be applied with a soft sweeping movement, starting at the waist and carrying it upwards towards the neck.

Allow the cream or oil to remain on the skin for five minutes while you gently massage it into the skin. The surplus oil will be removed from the skin with cottonwool, and the back should then be lightly dabbed with rosewater and glycerine.
