1950's Beauty Guide

Step 3 - Hair removal and Nail Polish
The removal of hair, is sometimes a problem.
You can take care of single hairs with a pair of tweezers.
But for leg and underarm hair, your best bet is a safety razor.
Don't worry that shaving your legs will make it
grow back faster or denser. That isn't true.
But it is true that chemical hair removers have been
found harmful to the skin in some cases.
Nail polish is harmless, but you should remove it
for short periods in order to prevent cracking
of the fingernail!
