FOR PATCHY SKIN
RICE TREATMENT’REQUIRED. A skin which goes patchy will require rice treatments. Plttce a teaspoonful of rice in a' pint of warm water and allow it to simmer for thirty minutes, then, after it has cooled, strain through fine muslin or mosquito net and bottle. As you use each bottle of rice-water add one teaspoonful of lemon juice and two drops of tincture of benzoin to each ounce of the ricewater. And this is how you will use the mixture. First wash the face with warm water, then lightly dry with a soft towel, and finally bathe with the rice-water lotion for five minutes. Use each night and morning. And, while on the subject of beaches, it is just as well to mention superfluous hairs on the legs. If yours are worrying you, why not bleach the hairs into a lighter shade so that they will be less noticeable? A simple method of bleaching is to bathe the legs nightly with a saturated solution of baking-powder, allowing the water to dry on the skin. Then rinse with warm water and dry.
