THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 21. 1926 4 . 'J i rt il TV' NOW that summer is over, with its attendant sunburn, windburn and general rough treatment of the skin, it is, time to turn our attention, to that probably neglected subject. There is no doubt of the fact that exposure to the rays of the sun in summer is beneficial to the entire body, including the skin, but it does tend to coarsen and open thepores especially where the skin is naturally oily. The pores are the ends of tiny ducts,' from which the natural oil of the body is eliminated. When, they become enlarged, there is a tendency fojf the oil to clog up, attracting particles of dust and grime and eventually forming black heads. So if the ravages of the summer sun are not attended By Alicia Evans Dthni to, before many moons a clear beautiful skin may be ruined for life. How can this condition be overcome? Only bv faithful adherence to a prescribed routine by giving oneself regular treatments before retiring. The first step in such a treatment is to cleanse the skin. An unclean skin can never be healthy and an unclean skin can never be beautiful. Pause a moment now. and ask vourself : Is my skin oily or is it dry ?" UDdn vour answer will denend the method of cleansing it to be followed. If you answer, Yes, it is oily, let me warn you. here and now. never to use cold cream, which will only increase the amount of oil secreted by your pores. You may use a light vanishing cream in moderation, however. The best way to clean an oily skin is, first open the pores by washing the face in quite hot water until you are red and flushed. Now lather your face well with a mild soap. A strong alkaline soap or very hard water will produce effects quite opposite to the desired results, so be sure of your soap. Pure Castle, like that used for infants, is very good, although there are plenty of other good mild soaps on the market. If you have many blackheads, purchase a stiff complex ion brush and use this to rub the lather thoroughly in the "skin. 'For a less serious condition, a vigorous massage' with the tips of-the fingers will do very well. , Rinse off every bit of soap from your face, then splash with cold water until your face glows. A piece of ice wrapped in a towel and rubbed over the face is a fine thing, but this should not be done more than once a ; week. The cold water or the ice will close i the pores again, and this combination of thorough cleansing and reduction o f the pores will in a short while improve the texture df-the oily skin. Of course, this treatment should under no circumstances be given more than 'once a day, but the'face should be wrfshed as often as possible 'during the day with clear Warm water. If you find your skin losing too much surface oil by this method, a little vanishing cream, containing as jittle grease as possible may be used after ..IJie treatment. Care of the. dry skin requires "an .entirely different meth od of attack. In the' first place, the dangers of a too dry skin are that it tends to become harsh and rough to the touch, and secondly a dry skin wrinkles earlier than an oilyskin. Hot water and soap are the worst things in the world for a dry skin, as they tend to make it even dryer. Cleanse the dry skin with cold cream every night, being sure to re move every vestige of the cream after using. Massage the cream into the face gently, then remove with a clean damp cloth. Rinse the face in cold water then a vanishing cream or the face lotion to nourish and strengthen the skin will com plete the treatment. During the day the face may be washed in warm water without soap. . y-Besides a daily treatment of either kindwhich L havei described, an occasional massage by a skilled beauty specialist will be beneficial. . Be sure to use only the. best and purest cosmetics, for nn' amount of' treatments , and massages can counteract the ilb effects of bad cosmetics constantly used. After all, the best is'the -cheapest in the end. 4'.::..sl ' Fof Beautiful, HeallhyHair iWfcman'a crowning glory, whether it be, short or long, is still Iter-frowning glory.

Now the ban is lifted it is much smart er to have a hat of the same color, but of a lighter or darker harmonizing" shade. ' Dark red and -dark xeen coats will probably demand hats of these hues, a trifle Jighter in com plexion. AVith da'rk brown, negre' brown-is the proper hat shade--with a tan coat, brown in this, new color is also good. Don't1 however, make the mistake of actually using contrast ing colors it is not the smart thing to do.
