Hot-weather skin will often be overly moist or oily or both. Specially treated paper "squares," when pressed to the face, remove surface grime and absorb excess moisture and oil without disturbing make-up.

Then watch your features take on added interest.

What to do about unsightly circles caused by sunglasses? Consider them a blessing in disguise. First, they indicate that you are protecting the area under your eyes, which along with the throat is most prone to dryness, and you are helping to keep the area lightened, free from shadows.
