KEEPING THE FACE CLEAN
Considered Old-Fashioned Now to Be Afraid to Give Face Good f Scrubbing. The face Is a part of our body which needs the utmost attention, because It is also the part which Is most exposed. Some persons are afraid of using anj> but the gentlest motions upon the face, yet we are told that scrubbing the (ace Is a very good thing as an occasional treatment, that it opens the pores In a way such as they cannot otherwise be opened—that It takes out accumulated dirt, and best of all for the pale people. it brings about a healthy circulation aad a rich glow to the cheeks which is an attractive addition to most complexions. A small brush such as one uses tor the hands, called a -nail brush.” Is good as an instrument for this scrubbing process, and there should be some elbow grease applied here as well as In other domestic cleansing processes. It is considered quite old-fashioned now to be afraid to give at least one good scrubbing a week to the face.
