Cocoanuts as Cosmetics.

Does your complexion need brightening up and cleansing? If so here is a simple, home made cosmetic which is harmless and almost immediate in its good effect: Buy a fresh cocoanut and grate it; squeeze the juice through a piece of white muslin. The milk which comes after the straining is the cosmetic. Wash the face and hands with it thoroughly, rubbing it well into the skin. It will speak for itself after being used. In using any cosmetic or cream upon the face always rub the skin up, not down. This will have a tendency to drive away wrinkles, and ii done faithfully will give to the face a fresh and youthful look.
