Face Peeling Easy
Blonde or Brunette

THE blondes complexion fades early. be-
cause her skin is extraordinarily thin and
fine" says Nine. Lima Cavalieri. THE brun-
cites. as a rule. is the reverse. The skin
is thicker and has tendency to an oily ap-
pearance."
For either the faded blondes skin or the
brunette's oily or sallow complexion, the
best remedy is ordinary mercolized wax.
Used every night. this will give one an en-
tirely new complexion within about a week 8
time. The wax gradually peels off the
worn-out surface skin, with all its defects,
little each day, without affecting the deli
cate underskin in the least. The latter will
have the exquisitely beautiful glow of youth
indeed. one may readily lose ten or fifteen
years from her age. so far as appearance
goes, by a course of this simple treatment.
The wax. procurable at any drug store, is
applied like cold eream.-Ady.
