[[image - How a Clay Pack is Given]] 

EGG PACK

Beat the whites of two eggs until they are very light. To this mixture drop by drop, add a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Open the pores of the face with three hot towels and apply the egg pack, covering the entire face. Permit the egg pack to dry and to remain on the face until the patron feels that it has drawn enough. A sensitive skin may be irritated if the pack remains on the face too long. Remove the pack with cotton dipped in ice water. Close the pores with an application of Madam C.J. Walker's Vanishing Cream and finish with Madam C.J. Walker's Face Powder.

MILK PACK

Begin as in plain massage, cleansing the face thoroughly with Madam C.J. Walker's Cleansing Cream. Prepare a pack by mixing almond meal and milk to form a paste and apply it to the face. Remove the paste and sponge the face with warm milk. Close the pores and finish with Madam C.J. Walker's Vanishing Cream and Madam C.J. walker's Face Powder and Rouge.

Packs made of honey and milk, honey and white bread, and honey and almond meal are highly recommended for cleansing, purifying and making the skin beautiful. Begin these packs as in plain massage, cleansing the face with Madam C.J. Walker's Vanishing Cream and Madam C.J. Walker's Face Powder, rouge, and lipstick.

WRINKLE MASK

Beat the white of one egg. Saturate ten strips of gauze one inch wide and cut in varying length from 2 to 6 inches long, in the white of the egg. First, give a plain massage, using Madam C.J. Walker's Cleansing Cream. Wipe the cream off carefully and apply the pieces of gauze, which have been soaked with the white of the egg, in the following manner: two strips over the lines of the forehead from temple to temple. Two short strips over the lines at the corners of the mouth. Two short strips from the corners of the mouth to the corners of the nose. Two short strips under the eyes. Allow the strips to remain on the face until they are are dry. Remove the strips and wash the face with Madam C.J. Walker's Beauty Soap and water. Do not use hot towels after applying this mask. Use ice as an astringent and apply Madam C.J. Walker's Vanishing Cream. Finish with Madam C.J. Walker's Face Powder.

Take one large piece of gauze large enough to cover the entire face. Perforate the gauze so as to allow the eyes, the nose and the mouth to remain uncovered. Dip the gauze into warm olive oil and apply it to the face. Next, cover the face with hot towels, allowing each towel to remain on the face until cool. Use 1-2-3-4-5 hot towels and remove the mask. Use ice as an astringent and finish with Madam C.J. Walker's Vanishing Cream, Madam C.J. Walker's Rouge and Madam C.J. Walker's Face Powder and Lipstick.
