VERNI, Maria.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Keep Beautiful. First edition. An amusing guide to self-care with instructional diagrams for facial exercises, manicures, and the application of cosmetics. There are also some recipes for home-made treatments and "rejuvenating baths". In her introduction, Verni writes, "not every aspirant to beauty is able to visit a highly specialized consultant whose experience tells her what to prescribe in each case, but any woman can arrange a brief interview with herself and her mirror". Verni was also the author of Modern Beauty Culture (1933).
