Sinkside Beauty Aid
The same creamy white baby
lotion that you use to protect
baby’s tender skin can double as
one of your beauty aids that will
work for you while you are work
ing at your daily round of house
hold tasks.
It may not have occurred to you
that washing a sinkful of dishes
could be turned into a beauty
treatment, but it can be if you
wear rubber gloves and cover
your hands with the baby lotion
before you put -them on. When
you dip your hands into the hot
water, the skin will perspire
freely within the rubber gloves,
opening up the pores to the
soothing lotion. Your hands will
come out of the dishwater softer
and smoother than when they
’ent in.
A heavy cleaning job will some
times leave dirt so firmly im
bedded in the skin and under tho
nails that you despair of ever
getting rid of the grime. This
won’t be likely to happen if you
rub baby lotion over your hands
and under your nails before you
start. The film of lotion will act
as a buffer between the dirt and
your skin, making it much easier
to get your hands and nails clean
again.
To prevent reddening and
chapping in cold weather, keep a
bottle of baby lotion where it will
serve as a reminder to use it every
time you wet and dry your hands.
And, by all means, smooth the
lotion over your hands and wrists
before you hang out the wash on
a cold, windy day.
