Lemon Juice is
Skin BeautifieT,
Also a Whitener

Many women use just the juice Of
lemons to bleach or whiten the skin,
but pure lemon juice Is acid, therefore
irritating, and should be mixed with
orchard white.
At the cost Of a small jar OF ordin-
airy cold cream one can prepare q full
quarter pint OF the most wonderful
lemon skin softener and complexion
beautifier, by squeezing the juice of
two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
tanning three ounces Of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain the
juice through a fine cloth so no lemon
pulp gets in, then this lotion Will
keep fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles. sallowness and tan, and is
the ideal skin sOftener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try it, Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint OF this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage II
daily into the face, neck. arms and
hands. It should naturally help to
bring back TO any skin the whiteness,
the sweet freshness and flexibility Of
which II has been robbed by careless
ness or trying atmospheric conditions.
