A Home Recipe For
Wrinkled, Saggy Skin

The famous saxolite lotion recon-
mended by beauty specialists for re-
moving wrinkles and for reducing dis
tended pores, can be easily made at
home. Ask your druggist for saxolte
witch hazel. Dissolve the powder in
the witch hazel and bathe the face,
neck and hands in the solution. Re-
suits are remarkable. and instantan-
eous. The skin tightens, and this ma
turally reduces the wrinkles, as well
as creases or folds about the neck,
cheeks or hands. The tissue beneath
the skin also becomes firmer and more
solid.
One feels much refreshed and ex-
hilarated after using this truly wonder
full and harmless wash lotion Its con-
tinued use once a day for only short
time makes the average person look ten
or fifteen years younger.
