About this book
"My secrets of beauty : Including more than 1,000 valuable recipes for…." by Mme. Lina Cavalieri is a practical beauty manual written in the early 20th century. It lays out a complete regimen for maintaining and enhancing personal appearance through daily care, massage, baths, diet, exercise, and abundant home-prepared treatments. Drawing on the author’s stage-honed experience, it aims to free readers from dubious “beauty doctors” with clear routines and tried recipes. The opening of the manual features a foreword promising authoritative, affordable guidance, then moves straight into detailed advice on the complexion: thorough night cleansing with cold cream, tepid water, and mild soap; seasonal adjustments; vigilant sun and wind protection; and numerous masks, creams, and lotions for tan, freckles, sunburn, and oily skin.
