"Red lips and white teeth should go together, should they not? Of course genuine red lips are the prettiest and they can only be obtained by eating sensible food, exercising in the open air, sleeping at night with the bedroom windows open, and taking a daily bath. As this treatment requires time, let me whisper a secret in your ears. This is it! Dampening the lips with very hot and very cold water alternately for 10 or 15 minutes each day will bring a lovely color to pale lips. This color will remain for several hours. Try it the next time you want to look particularly fetching."
