Home Face Peeling
Becomes Popular

No complexion treatment yet disCoV-
cred seems to have become so gen
orally and so Immediately popular as
the mercolized wax process. Evidently
the r. lson is that this method actually
gets rid of a bad complexion, which
can hardly be said of any other. To
temporarily hide or bleach the de
fective skin with cosmetics cannot
compare with the effect Of literally re-
moving the skin itself. MerColzed
wax takes off the offending surface
skin in flour-like particles. a little at
a time. until there's none of it
left. The new complexion thus pro-
duced exhibits A healthy glow and
girlish beauty obtainable in no other
way. This wax, which you can get at
your druggists. is applied at night in
the same way you use cold cream, and
washed off next morning.
Here is one thing that actually does
remove wrinkles, remove them quick
ly, and at tTiflinG cost: Powdered sax
olite, one ounce, dissolved in one-half
pint witch hazel Use at a face bath.
