How to Shed a Rough,
Chapped or Blotchy Skin

This is what YOU should do to shed a
bad complexion: Spread evenly over
the face, covering every inch OF skin,
a thin layer of ordinary mercolzed
wax. Let this stay on over night,
washing il off next morning. Repea {
daily until your complexion Is as clear,
soft and beautiful as a young girls.
This result is inevitable, no matter how
soiled or withered the complexion. The
wax literally absorbs the filmy surface
skin. exposing the lovely young skin
beneath. The process is entirely harm
less, so little of the old skin coming
off at time. Mercolized wax is OBJ
tainable at any drug store one ounce
usually suffices. It's Veritable Won
|der-worker for rough, chapped. red
dened. blotchy, pimpled, freckled or
saliow skin.
Pure powdered saxolite is excellent
for wrinkled skin. An ounce of il
dissolved in a half-pint witch hazel
makes a refreshing wash-lotion. This
renders the skin quite firm and smooth
indeed. the very first application erases
the finer lines; the deeper ones soon
follow.
