Beauty tips from 1907

July 22nd, 2009


The NZ National Library archives articles from old newspapers. Here’s one that touts ‘warm oil and a vaccuum cleaner’ to spring-clean your beauty.

And remember:

“The society lady who dances five nights out of seven will find her spring cleaning of the greatest benefit to her health and beauty.”

Beauty tips from a pretty lady

June 18th, 2008

I love these tips - thanks for the beauty round-up Megan!! (hope you don’t mind me linking to ya!) And you have some smart friends. I’ll have to check out this elizabeth arden 8 hour cream…

And while we’re sharing – I don’t actually cleanse, scrub or tone my skin either. I’ve got a foaming face wash in the shower and other than that it’s just moisturiser. Not that my skin’s great, but i don’t notice the difference from when i used to cleanse, scrub and tone.

But I do use a warm wet flannel (facecloth) on my face every day – that’s the best exfoliant I reckon.  The heat opens the pores and water is the best solvent. Just go easy on the eye area.
