F2 THE OTTAWA CITIZEN THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1987 Use lots of water but no soap: skin-care expert lubricate, moisten, slough off, ward to inform you that you use far too much soaD and vou don't EATON'S OPTICAL DEPARTMENT SPECIAL 5 Jt if 12 PRICE! tighten ana firm. Men and women make monthly, sometimes weekly, treks to get professionally scrubbed, filed, rubbed, clipped, dyed, bleached, cleansed, moisturized and massaged. A full day of Georgette Klinger beauty costs $225 (U.S.). A half day is $125. A Klinger facial is $55 and they even throw in a paint-by-number makeup lesson.

Although Klinger admits that yes, her skin salons do tend to cater to the monied element of society, she insists that good skin doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. Drink a lot of water. A daily skin-care regimen. No soap. And a bath every other day.

"You must retain the skin's moisture. You must cleanse properly and moisturize and you must lubricate your skin. That is basic." Of course, a nice spritz of the finest imported Bulgarian rose mineral water or a dab of camomile herb toner certainly wouldn't hurt. Fort Lauderdale News and Sun-Sentinel PALM BEACH, Fla. "Vauh-ter." And lots of it.

"And no soap, except under the arms and in other places. It is too drying and does not cleanse oily skin properly," says Georgette Klinger, skin-care maven, shaking her head admonishingly. Klinger's face probably looks familiar, from those black and white advertisements for her salons in Every Single Women's Magazine. You know the ones glossy portrait-style photos, some of her alone, another pairing her and Kathryn, her 33-year-old lookalike daughter. They're both wearing off-the-shoulder ball gowns, irri-tatingly flawless complexions and matching all-knowing Mona Lisa smiles.

Klinger in the flesh is a silver-haired woman with soft sloping gray eyes and luminous porcelain skin. She pronounces her W's like V's in a charming Old World European accent "vomen's skin needs vauhter." drink near enough water and you take far too many baths, you listen. You feel like a prune. An old, very old prune. Then you nervously crunch on the ever-available "water-foods," carrots, celery and cucumber, sitting atop the Lucite rolling ice bar in the salon foyer.

"You don't use an abrasive sponge on your face, do you?" Klinger asks with a note of genuine concern. "It is just so hard on the skin. It can do so much damage because it breaks the capillaries and you cannot repair them. Even if you have them treated, another one breaks because they are all connected." The Klinger skin-care conglomerate (estimated net worth is $15 million to $20 million U.S.) sells about 320 skin products. There is, quite literally, something for everyone, every morning and every night.

Sitting in her three-storey Worth Avenue salon on a keep-tabs trip to her Palm Beach skin spa, she wears a Coco Chanelish navy cape, midcalf slim black leather skirt, red silk blouse and that signature of chic, the equestrian print Hermes silk scarf. Klinger, the socially prominent skin-care specialist, has been caring for the skin styles of the rich and famous for half a century. She operates six posh skin and body care salons in Palm Beach, Bal Harbour, New York, Chicago, Dallas and Beverly Hills, Calif. She has kept the business all in the family, with Kathryn, now all grown up and with a beauty book of her own on the shelves, in charge of the Beverly Hills operation. And many of Klinger's faithful faces socialites and sociables have been regular users of her sIon services and skin treatments lor more than 40 years.

In these modern fluxed times of improved this and extra that, it's hard to imagine sticking with one regimen or product for more than six months. "Joanne Woodward, Paul Newman's wife, she has been coming to me for 40 years. I don't think she would mind if I tell you this," Klinger confides. And that "Kennedy daughter, Caroline?
