That new young cinema siren, Blanca Vischer, who possesses a pair of the shapeliest legs in all of Hollywood, says she always keeps them looking smooth through the use of pumice stone. When taking her daily bath, Blanca rubs her shapely limbs with a smooth piece of pumice stone, and she firmly believes that any lass who wishes to go stockingless, or to wear those lacey mesh hose during the summer, should make sure that her legs always are as smooth and soft as they are shapely.
There are many girls who, like Blanca, prefer to go around stockingless during the hot weather. Indeed, the fad is becoming so popular that one enterprising manufacturer recently concocted a preparation to take the place of stockings. You smooth it on your legs and it looks just as though you had stocking ion. Yet at the same time tour limbs really are bare. This preparation is a creamy compound that dries quickly. And although it is easily removed when desired, it is definitely waterproof if not rubbed or smeared.
Legs Should Be Flawless
There are many ways of removing superfluous hair safely from the legs, that no woman ever should neglect this. Ordinary pumice stone may be used for the purpose of removing it, and need just be rubbed briskly over the legs. A razor may also be used. And there any number of good depilatories that are effective for clearing the legs of superfluous hair.
Rough, goosefleshy skin also is taboo when the legs are bare or clad in mesh hose. The skin must be smooth and clear if they are going to be submitted to exposure. It is not difficult to keep the leg cuticle in good condition, either. When taking your nightly bath, simply scrub your legs well with a bland soap, using a small flesh brush. After the bath, dry them well and the massage a generous quantity of cold cream, nourishing cream or pure olive oil into them. This procedure will banish roughness, and will keep your legs appropriately soft and smooth.
