Once A Week

When the massage treatment is over, gently remove the surplus cream with facial tissues and then make a thin paste with toilet oatmeal and witch-hazel, and spread this over the face and neck, allow it to remain on the skin for three minutes, and then remove with cotton wool pads which have been soaked in cool water. Dab the face dry with a towel, and then apply an astringent lotion.

If tht above treatment is carried out once a week you will very quickly discover that your skin is taking on a finer texture and that the wrinkles are disappearing.

If the lines in the face are very deep you may have to massage them nightly, in which case you will not apply the face mask and the astringent. In ordinary circumstances, once a week, or even once a fortnight, is ample for the full treatment.
