Science and Beauty
HE latest idea in cosmetics-using science to aid beauty-has been developed in Paris by Marcel Contier. His routine is elaborate. First he rubs a "chemical indicator" over the client’s skin; next the thickness of the top layer of skin is measured, followed by the impressive measurement of "the electrica S current given off by the skin." Upon this delicate operation depends the type of cream he will prescribe. His whole treatment costs just over a pound, and at the conclusion he writes out prescriptions- for creams and skin foods, to be obtained from his own laboratories. French authorities are enthusiastic over Contier’s work, and foresee a useful. fillip to the French export trade if American women can be persuaded to attend his salon and arrange for a regular supply of his "made+to-measure" beauty boxes direct from Paris.
