Keeping the good faith and high expectations, beginning in February, most sun worshipers "come out" to secure the ingredients for the proper dimensions that will encompass Exercise plus Diet equals Swimwear. Body Beautiful. Looking and feeling good— if not— the bare facts could be intimidating. However, for some, the importance of culinary adventure forsakes the slimmest o f it all—and, after all, relating to individual taste— "Th e Body Beautiful” is judged only in the eye o f the beholder. Swimwear designers’ diversity and style are challenged by alfthe body forms in mind— thus creating excitement in swimwear from Junior to Full Figure. SURPLICE MIO This summer, Jantzen has added a naw slant to summer elegance w ith "Stripe Matelasse" swimwear designed from the Via collec tion. The suits shown arc very super modern— and very different. Suits that won’t wilt under the sun. A Maillot doesn’t have to be all-out bare to be thoroughly sexy. The Bikini. The kind you can sun in, surf or run around the beach, maybe the Bahamas (if your sunshine turns out to be liquid in Oregon), made of fabric that will dry almost as quickly as you leave the water. The waters o f the North Pacific Ocean make a cool statement, providing the perfect background for Jantzen’s 1982 Spring and Summer line. They artfully mix color and design, then wrap the body with exuberant print "extravaganzas.” This sleek-fitting Surplice M io (one piece, cut high over the thigh) is from Jantzen’s Via Collection, where this season, nobody knows bodies better. National Swimwear companies— notable are our own Oregon Three companies— Jantzen, White Stag and Pendleton— and the newly formed (and seen on the Merv G riffin Show) Petticord Swimwear Co.

Their cover-ups are attractive enough to be seen on the street— not just at poolside as designed. alone. (Right) A fte r the swim party la over —naw proportions In pants—an adventure in guaza. Summer Tidbits With any luck, you will be living most weekends in a bathing suit— be it in the backyard, gardening, sunning on the roof-top or maybe capturing the warm waters o f the Caribbean and jus, lying back ir your 2-piece, high or low bikini— let the sun soothe and renew you. Care f o r your suits. Chlorine and salt water can be cleansed from your swimwear by uring Woolite. Take care of your expensive suit. All you have to do is rinse in I cap o f Woolite in water after every swim. It will also eliminte perspiration stains and help prevent shrinkage. Skin care products. Emphasis should be placed on the body, as minus- moisture is particularly noticeable now. Take advantage o f products for total body care: Almond Body Treatment, a lotion moisturizer; Hand and Body I reatment enriched with Aloe Vera and Collagen; Elastin treatment, excellent for the cuticles; Deep Pore Milky Body Cleanser; a non-alcoholic mild freshener; and finally Cocoa Butter lotion and bar forms arc excellent for spot elimination. Head covering. Cover-up your hair. Avoid letting hair get dry & brittle, especially hair that has been chemically treated. After swimming, remember that hats are hack— the broad, wide brimmer is perfect with swimwear. A newer hat for summer is the Oriental Boater. Use scarves always— if possible. A lter swimming, rinse chlorine out o f your hair immediately and apply a moisturizing conditioner. On the feet. The importance of a pedicure is o f utmost value— minus callous, nea, trimmed cuticles and nails and pointed toes are ready to be seen in your beautiful sandals. The more open the shoe, the more effective for summer. W ith a pedicure and polish sand looks better running through your toes.
