REMOVING HER SKIN
(From Feminine World)

The quickest and surest way to
make a good complexion out of a
bad one is to actually remove the thin
veil of faded or discolered outer skin
from the face. This can be done
easily, safely and privately by any
woman. The process is one of gen
tie absorption.
Get an ounce of pure mercolized
wax from your druggist and apply
it at night like cold cream, washing
it off in the morning. In a few
days the incredible in the wax will
have absorbed the disfiguring cut
icle, revealing the fresh young skin
underneath; you will have a beauti-
full, clear, natural complexion. The
process is pleasant and harmless,
making the face look brilliantly at
tractive and youthful. 1t also eff
fectually removes such blemishes as
freckles, tan, moth patches, liver
spots, pimples, etc. Every woman
should keep a little mercolized wax
on hand, as this simple. old-fashion-
ed remedy is the best complexion
beautifier and preserver known.
