Care of the Arms

The Arms. There is often noticeable, on the upper part of the arms particularly, a condition similar to that known as goose flesh. The best thing to do for it is to give it a good scrubbing once a month or so with warm water and almond meal. Then put on a bleach for fifteen minutes. Wash it all off and comfort the skin with a soothing bath of hot oil. Then massage with a circular motion. Work gently if you want your arms to be larger, vigorously if there is too much flesh.

Liquid powder, because of its staying qualities, is particularly desirable for the arms but use a little lighter shade in every case than the powder used on the face.

Elbows. No part of the body perhaps is more misused than the elbow. Once more hot oil comes to the rescue, and massage. And after this, tie them up in pads of absorbent cotton soaked in the oil.
