Finesse was the 'customer' insert to American Hairdresser Magazine. Designed to be set out in the waiting room, it was more beauty helps and advice with some hair styles of the moment added in.
I thought this article was interesting. I have the scan first, so you can see the layout. After that, I have transcribed the actual acticle so that it is readable.
Bath Rite
Don’t bathe for cleanliness alone. Imagine yourself a slim Grecian goddess with the exotic luxury that attended her bath, and build your dunking into something more then a humdrum routine—something to stir even a Grecian lovely into a state of envy.
A tub of placid water can be a pretty dull affair. But a little of this and that…a fragrant scent, a froth of bubbles, a soothing oil…and you make for yourself a delightful rite. A cleaning PLUS.
Time being the important accessory to the fact of your living these days, you probably can’t enjoy a daily long-drawn-out tubbing. But you can allow yourself this privilege at least once a week. There are several wonderful ways to reap the fullest benefits.
To pick you up and give you the same sparkling sensation that comes after a quick dip in the icy depths of the ocean, begin with a cool bath. Immerse your toes and ankles some six or seven inches, then pour in some bath crystals or salts (mineral or aromatic) and fill the tub with warm water. Lie in the water a few minutes before beginning to wash. Instead of using a wash cloth, a generously lathered sponge or brush worked briskly over your body will set you tingling. Rinse, then hop out and dry yourself with the biggest, roughest towel you can find. Next give yourself a once-over rubbing with scented lotion or after-bath cologne, finishing with heaps of your favorite after bath powder.
To sooth your tired body, relax your frayed nerves and muscles and lull you into a slumber, try bathing this way. Fill your tub with warm water. Pour a generous amount of bath oil in it as the tub is filling. Next apply your richest cream to your face and neck and moistened eye pads over your eyelids. Lie back and relax for five to fifteen minutes. When you get to the actual body clean-up, do the job gently, stroking yourself from toes up with a bath mitt saturated with fragrant soap or soothing herbs. Pat yourself dry. Don’t rub. Smooth on a creamy lotion or after-bath oil, and lastly coat yourself with perfumed talc.
For a morning wake-up, try a shower bath, beginning first with a full spraying of icy water, gradually worked into streams of warmer water. Scrub with brisk strokes from top to toe and rinse with icy water. Spray an after-bath lotion all over the body to complete the eye-opener.
For a more relaxing shower, start off with warm water, gradually getting it hotter and hotter, and end up with the spray trickling cool water over you. Dry yourself with a soft towel, gently removing the moisture and follow with an all-over application of after bath oil topped with talc.
Adjuncts for such pleasant bath rites fall into three classes; Bath oils (in concentrated form) for scent and body smoothness, softening of the water. Bath Crystals (also pulverized) for delightful, fragrant soaking. Bubble baths for sheer luxury and fun plus the delicious scent and silkiness that comes to the water.
Effervescent bath tablets that effervesce and sooth and smooth after the water is drawn. After bath cologne to spray or rub on. After-bath oils for soothing, smoothing, and scenting the skin after drying.Talcs. Special soaps and bath mitts.
Chose your scents from the vast floral bouquets to the fresh smelling pines and more pungent odors. Match’em or Mix’em….and have yourself a good time while bathing or showering.
