Home Face Feeling Becomes Popular

No complexion treatment yet discov- cred seems to have become so gencraI- ly and so immediately popular as the mercolized wax process. Evidently the reason is that tf1is method actually gets rid Of a bad complexion, which can hardly be sa4d of any other. To tempo raF1ay hide or bleach the defective skin with cosmetics cannot compare with the effect of literally removing the skin itself. Mercolized wax takes off the offending surface skin in fiour-ike Q particles, little at time, until there's 8 none of 1t left. The new complexion thus produced exhibits a healthy glow and girHsh beauty obtainable In no other way. This wax, which you can get at your druggists. is applied at night in the same way you use cold cream. and washed off next morning.
