Rid the Skin of Oils That Make Powdering Difficult
JUST had a letter from a girl in Illinois. It is typical of many of the inquiries I get every day, so I know you will be interested. She wrote,
"I'm a bit puzzled after trying to make an analysis of my skin. It isn't especially dry or oily, and stays much the same all year, although my nose is shiny sometimes. I certainly don't want to use anything that might increase the oiliness of my nose. What would you advise?"
For the girl in Illinois--and all of those who suffer from occasional local oiliness of a normal skin--I suggest the same general treatment as for dry skin, but be sure to substitute a light, nourishing tissue cream for the heavier skin food. The over-dry skin needs a cream that has deep penetrative qualities, while the normal or oily skin requires a softening cream to blend with its natural oils, and not to increase the oily condition.
After cleansing your face and neck thoroughly with cleansing cream, tone and freshen the skin with a slightly astringent lotion. Then smooth on a light tissue cream with gentle upward strokes of all your finger tips. If your face is normal or oily, don't use a heavy nourishing cream, or you will find that it merely stays on top of the skin in a greasy film.
A good tissue cream not only is absorbed easily, but the surplus can be wiped off easily.
When you suffer from local oiliness, the important thing is to stimulate your skin. This can be done by using preparations that will help every portion of your face to function properly, and also by gentle massage with your cushioned finger tips.
Artists and musicians usually have very distinct cushioned tips on their fingers. But all of you have at least a small cushion on the tip of each finger. They're resilient, strong little cushions, too. When you apply creams and lotions with your finger tips, you are using a part of your hand that is infinitely more effective than any mechanical device could be.
You'll notice that this cushioned part of the fingers helps to make your skin tingle and feel good. And here's an additional hint that will help you--before you put on powder or rouge, take a bit of foundation cream on the finger tips and smooth it on that oily nose, chin or forehead. Wipe away excess cream, and apply your powder.
