Brand New Tonic to
Beautify Your Skin
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
I’ve been experimenting some more with the boric acid and witch
hazel skin tonic and have some new things to tell you about it! You will
remember that when I first wrote about this tonic I urged its use only for
the normal skin for which it is excellent.
I got to thinking about it and wondered what
could be added to the lotion which would make it
effective for an oily skin or a dry skin. The original
lormula which called for equal parts of boric acid
solution and witch hazel is such a marvelous com-
bination that it seemed to me to be an ideal base
to use in a preparation for skins that need correc-
tive as well as preservative treatment.
Before going farther I want to refresh your
minds about the original formula. You can pur-
chase boric acid solution at any drug store. You
buy five ounces of this solution add five ounces of
witch hazel and simply shake the bottle well before
using. If you want to make your own boric acid so-
lution you may do so by adding two heaping tea-
JOSEPHINE spoonfuls of boric acid crsytals to one pint of boiling
.HUDDLESTON mater. Stir this liquid constantly until all of the
crystals have dissolved then strain it through two
layers of cheesecloth into a clean mason Jar of the glass top variety. This
will insure absolute cleanliness and preservation for your solution so that
you can make up as much tonic as you wish without having to fuss with
the boric acid solution every time.
If your skin is inclined to be dry
add one ounce of pure glycerine to.~
one pint of the original formula '
(just the witch hazel and boric acid
solution) pouring the glycerine into
the other liquid while it is still tepid
In temperature.
The liquid must not be hot or even
very warm—just barely tepid and
the glycerine should be added slow-
ly. Stir the liquid as the glycerine
is added or else shake the contain- <
er now and then. When all the gly-
cerine has been added beat the pre-
paration with one of those doub: ■?
beaters used for whipping creanr
Turn the beater as fast as you cav
for five minutes—if your arm will
hold out. This insures *perfee*
blending of ingredients so that
they will be in their proper propor-
tion when put into smaller bottler.
Always shake the bottle vigorously
before using so that the ingredients
are blended again.
You'll find this lotion excellent
for a powder base as well as for
its soothing and tonic effect upon
the skin.
Those who have oily skin problems
to combat will find that a quarter
of an ounce of tincture of plain
benzoin added to one quart of the
witch hazel and boric acid base
base makes a delightful skin tonic
and one that has remedial qualities.
It also may be used as a base for
rouge and powder.
I've found that cleansing tjic
skin again with a pad of cotton sat-
urated with this tonic after cream
has been removed then patting a
generous amount o fthe liquid onto
the face and letting it almost drv
before applying face rouge makes t>
marvelous foundation upon which
to blend this type of rouge. When
the rouge has been blended pat on
face powder In a rather generous
quantity instead of smoothing it
over the skin. Press the nowder-
laden puff firmly onto the skin and i
then remove the excess powder with
a soft brush such as Is used for
brushing a baby’s hair. You’ll find
that your make-up remains fresh so
much longer when this method is
used and in cases where remedial!
measures are necessary the thin
coating of tonic prevents rouge and
powder from clogging the pores. I
