Licking your lips makes the sit- uation worse because as the saliva evaporates it takes away the pro- ‘tective moisture ‘in lips, making ‘them drier: cdf you think a lipstick. will help, ‘ou’re wrong. “Usually. it won’t hurt,’ ‘lipsticks don’t have enough oil to “hide, protect or heal rough, chap- “ped lips. Frosted or matte lipsticks “sometimes contain powder which _ will worsen the condition. “(A product such. as Vaseline, but which is made for these éxtreme dry areas, will work best. Dab it on generously at night to make lips ready for lipstick iz the morn- ing. Nails, too, will feel the harsh effects of winter weather. First, wear gloves. Even if there is no snow, the wind will harm your hands and nails. If your nails are prone to peel- ing or chipping, smooth on pure Vitamin E or even Vaseline at night to help alleviate brittleness. Let nails ‘‘breathe,’’ going without polish for a few days, if you tend to wear it daily. ms Make ‘sure to add a. protective top coat to nail polish, and carefully rub the tip of each nail after applying enamel, removing it from the edge to avoid chips. — Carol Crenna “FEEL THE CT THE COOLEST CLOTHING STORE "ON THE NORTH SHORE : Westbeach ° Buffalo ®Red Eraser e Dr. Martin Pius much more ‘NOW OPEN 926-7590 9 Quicksilver * Request © Cultures "1453 Bellevue Ave., West Vancouver ‘focus, Tuesday, March 23: Students of John Casablancas fashion mer- chandising program present Freedom 93, a spring showcase of local designers and retailers at the Vancouver Renaissance Hotel, 1133 West Hasting St. Reception and silent auction, 7 p.m.; show starts at 8 p.m. Net proceeds to benefit the Yvonne Bourgoise Foundation, Tickets, $15, avail- able by phone, 688-0328.
