- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: Take a handful of rice and grined to a fine powder, mix with the yolk of a 1,000-day-old Chinese egg and then add a pinch of magnesium. The result, according to the beauty experts, is a cream which will give hands that well-cared-for look - just one of the strange customs we show you in a visit to a school of beauty culture. An ancient Persian method of removing surplus hair, and salad face packs are some of the other ideas.
