How TO Change
Your Face
tFrom Fashlon RevIew.l.


The painful. dangerous and expen-
sive operation known as face peeling''
is not necessary to accomplish the re-
suits sought. One can gradually and
safely remove the old and unbeautiful
cuticle from her face without pain,
danger or detention indoors. Simply
use ordinary mercolized wax, which
can be obtained at any drug store APP

and wash 1t on each morning. The
incredible In the wax slowly absorbs
the half-de outer skin, which flakes
off day by day in fine, invisible part
icles. The fresh young skin under
meath soon blooms forth radiantly,
making the face look years younger
and much prettier. Employment Of
this process is not noticeable to Others
except that your complexion improves
rapidly.
OF course. the removal OF the sur
face skin in this pleasant manner
takes with 1t all facial blemishes, such
as chaps, freckles, moth patches, liver
spots. fine wrinkles. pimples, etc
Mercolized wax has been known for
years to many society women noted
for their beautiful and lasting COM
plexions.
