‘ASK WAYNE |

Graduated 1968 from the International
Fabricate institute in Stluerspring, Maryland.

Q: How should I care
- for my scarf?

© Keeping your beautiful scarf clean |

is really just common sense, Don't wear
foundation on your neck as it will rub off
onto your scarf and soil It. .
Please don't.try to “freshen up" your
scarf by spraying your favorite perfume
on it; this can cause permanent damage
to the dyes on the fabric. Similarly,
because so many hairsprays and spray
gels contain alcohol, never spray them
on while wearing a scarf because it may
damage the dyes, Either drape a towel -

| over your shoulders, or wait until your
“do” is done before putting on your scarf.
It's tempting to want to “spot-clean” your
silk scarf ~ but don’t even think about it!
The moisture may leave behind a ring,
making the former ‘spot even more
noticeable and potentially cause color
loss or change. instead, take the scarf-
immediately to your cleaner for. proper
care. Be sure to point out any stains or
spots; and, wheriever possible, tell your
cleaner the source of the stain (e.g., salad
dressing, lipstick),

s research for my job I've had

to try countless face creams

and I've never scen one that actually
makes a difference. Esthetic salons
can help the appearance of your

_ skin, but they don't do anything |
‘ about the underlying structure of -

your face. No salon or cosmetic
product J know of even comes close
to Optima.

This process is for women of all

ages. I've seen women in their 40s,’

.50s, and older who've received treat-
ments and the difference is incredi-
ble. They lock prettier, their skin
glows, and yes, they look noticeably
younger.
