DOES 1T NEED A "COLD CREAM"
OR A MASSAGE CREAM?

Today one doesn't have to argue the
necessity of using some face cream Well

Gold" or grease" creams have their
uses, but are not sufficient for the face
any more than one kind of food is suf-

or grease creams, if you wil-there are
hundreds of brands. But no matter ho1U
many y0n use you should always have a
place on your dresser for massage
cream, and there is only one NTH nd-

Now for the difference between an ordi-
nary cold cream and real massage cream
