How to Apply the Pack

You are now ready to apply your cucumber pack. Have a long-bristled pastry brush handy and paint the pack over the skin which is to be treated. Do not attempt to apply the pack with your hands, as it will then become rather messy. If you have no pastry brush, use a flat, smooth piece of wood for the purpose.

Allow the pack to remain in contact with the skin for 10 minutes, during which time it will gradually dry, then with wet, warm towels remove the pack from the face. Small Diecés which will persist in adhering to the skin can be quite easily sponged away with warm water. After every vestige has been removed from the skin, massage lightly with a little skin food or nourishing cream. All massage movements should start at the lower part of the face and gradually work upwards towards the temples. If you place both hands near|the corners of the mouth, you can then gently manipulate the skin with the second and third fingers.

After you have treated the. face, you tan massage beneath the chin, using. an upwards and outwards movement. Then with clean tissues remove the cream and apply your make-up as usual.
