Twenty one doesn't make the difference, but 30 does. After the celebration of that thirti eth birthday, whether you admit it to anyone else, it 1s time to give some extra attention to your skin and your figure. You will find if you do, the years will be light in their marks on your youthful appearance.

One of the best beauty habits to get when you're definitely over 21 is the' daily ritual of creaming the flesh of the face and the neck well and carefully every day, Lighten up a little on the use of soap and water during the day and, instead, cleanse the face and neck well with cold cream when you are freshing your makeup. Be sure to cream both the face and the neck carefully with a rich skin cream, which youcanleaveon to do its work while you sleep. To apply your cream, whether it is for cleansing or skin food, always remember to use an upward, circular motion. Stroke the cream into the neck, working upward. Use a rotary outward and upward motion to apply cream to the chin, along the cheeks and up to the forehead.

Use tiny, circular motions on the nose, starting from the tip and stroking up and out. Begin at the bridge of the nose in cleansing and feeding the flesh of the forehead. If your skin is inclined to oiliness, following your cleansing, put on a little astringent lotion with a cotton pad. You will find that even if your skin was quite oily in your teens, as the years march along, the natural oils of the skin flow less and skin creams become necessary to keep age lines at a minimum around the eyes, mouth and on the neck. Also, as that thirtieth birthday comes and goes, concentrate your eating habits on the high protein diet that your physician will be glad to recommend.

Eat fresh vegetables, lean broiled meats, whole grain breads and the like to help keep the body in top working condition. Heavy, rich foods cream gravies, fried foods, desserts are both the enemies of our figures and the fresh complexion that is so much a part of a youthful appearance.
