Try Skin Absorption
 Instead of Cosmetics

The constant use of rouge and pow der invites a. coarsened, roughened condition of the skin, erupttens, en- larged pores and wrinkles. If you've learned this from experience. suppose you quit cosmetics and try the follow ing:
 Ask your druggist for an ounce of ordinary mercolized wax and begin using this tonight. Apply like cold cream. washing. it off in the morning. Keep this up for week or. two.s The wax will literally absorb the coarse, ooloriess or blemfshed top skin, but so gradually as not to disconmode you at all. Just as gradually the clear, vel svety, naturally tinted underskiH comes to the surfaes. And fnerceliZed wax becomes your everlasting friend.
