Are you satisfied, Madam, with your complexion? And have you time enough to care for it? Most of our ladies complain of too little time to care for their complexions, and so we rarely see a lady wholly satisfied with her neglected skin... Here, then, Madam, is a quick method, to be used before sleep, which takes no more than fifteen minutes and guarantees you the result that will set your mind at rest—and all you need do now is try it, to make certain of the return of life and light to your face...
1 — Rub cold cream well into your face, forehead, and neck, so that it penetrates into the pores and cleanses them of the powders and grime that cling to the face the whole day long. This operation takes three minutes if carried out with the necessary speed.
2 — Wipe the cold cream from your face and neck with a piece of soft gauze, or with the special large-pored paper called Tissue Paper. This takes two minutes.
3 — Anoint your face and neck with a "skin-nourishing" cream and work over your skin with the fingertips; allow eight minutes for this.
4 — Put a towel over your head and expose your face to the steam of a vessel of hot water, as shown in figure (4), for two minutes and no more. In the morning repeat only the first and second operations, and by this you will secure for yourself a soft skin and a face brighter and more radiant of countenance.
