When the winds plays havoc with your face don’t smear on creams to soften the skin. They many soften for the moment, but they will make it apt to chap and redden as soon as it is exposed to the cold air. Put a handful of oatmeal into all water used for washing the face, and use lukewarm water only. Dry with a soft towel and dust the face lightly with fullers’ earth or any other good scentless powder.
Then always wash your hands in water to which a tablespoonful of oatmeal has been added. If they are chapped, a little pure glycerine heals them better than anything else. Rub it in while the hands are wet. Wear woollen gloves in preference to kid, lined with fur which allow of no ventilation.
