that is entirely safe and rational. Or
binary mercolized wax causes the de-
vitalized scarf skin to come off, but
gradually and gently. Unlike the sur
gical process the skin is not forcibly
taken off in big pieces all at once, but
almost invisible flaky particles are
absorbed by the wax, and from ten
days to two weeks are required to
complete the Transformation. There's
no pain, no discomfort. =

young, hea1thy-hued skin is in EVIL
