Do you ever get professional facial treatments? I don’t because my sensitive skin hasn’t reacted well to them in the past, but I understand that for some people they can be relaxing and rejuvenating.

From Personality Unlimited by Veronica Dengel (1943):

“Expensive skin treatments are a pleasant luxury if you can afford them, but not at all necessary to insure a beautiful skin. You can do everything required at home, inexpensively, effectively, provided you really do it. … Protect your hair with a band of gauze. Apply your cleansing cream with smooth, upward strokes. … Now with a cleansing tissue in each hand, begin at the base of the throat and remove the cleansing cream with upward strokes. When you have removed the cream, wash with warm water and soap. … Your skin is now ready for the toning step. Take a square of cotton and pat the tonic in upward movements. Apply your lubricating cream. Follow the same routine as used for cleansing. Do not apply great ‘gobs’ of your lubricant, you are only wasting it. There is no need to go to bed ‘gooey’ with grease. It isn’t good for your linens or nightie, and certainly not for your appearance!”
