Many people have just the opposite of an oily skin—they have a dry tight skin which often needs oil. As we grow older, also, it is the tendency with everyone for the natural oils of the skin to decrease somewhat and for the skin to lose much of its pliancy and suppleness. This dry, tawny condition is usually accompanied by roughness and is almost invariably the forerunner of a fine crop of wrinkles. Unless you supply the deficiency, the skin loses its power of resistance when its elasticity is gone. Feed your skin—keep it well lubricated. The famous beauty, Mme. Patti, said it was impossible to overestimate the importance of keeping the skin well fed with oils and cream. _Know That You Use a Reliable Complexion Powder_ Beware of powders that create dryness of the skin. The purity of a face powder is more important than many realize. The presence of bismuth, arsenic, white lead and other mineral or alkaline substances make many powders unfit for use on the skin. A good, pure complexion powder is beneficial to the skin, in protecting it from dirt, wind and sun. _How Tanning Injures Your Complexion_ The modern fashion of acquiring a rich, heavy coat of tan is to be heartily decried. The skin can be bleached and cleared after a summer out of doors, to restore its tone, but it is quite another matter to recover the fine, even texture of your skin after the summer sun has toughened and coarsened it. A thick skin is most unlovely to look upon. And, furthermore, it wrinkles more easily and is far less responsive to treatment than when in its natural elastic state. In some cases, heavy tanning results in relaxed tissues and a condition of general weakness that is most difficult to build up. A famous dermatologist has recently said: “Oil your skin—oil it well, or the sun will bake out every bit of natural oil and leave your skin dry and tawny.” If you would keep your skin so delicate and transparent as to show its natural coloring, protect it by the generous use of a very good Cold Cream. Rub it well into your pores before you go out, dust your face over with a good Face Powder, in the shade that blends best with your complexion, and, thus safeguarded, you will find that you can spend a day out of doors, at the beach, without the slightest injury. Cleanliness, immaculate cleanliness, is the first essential to a healthy skin. If you would rejoice in a skin that is fresh-looking, clean and therefore beautiful, never let a day go by without bathing the entire body with a good, pure Toilet Soap.
