AWoman Gives Out
Important Secrets

Madame Langford, well known beauty
specialist, in a recent interview told the
secrets of her success in improving the COM
plexion. She says: The average man has
better complexion than woman of same. age
men use lots of soap and water in shaw
ing and the massaging necessary prevents
wrinkles, etc. Women are too apt to de-
pend or casual washing with cold water,
then try to cover up defects with powder
and rouge and this makes the complexion
worse She must give the skin careful
attention at night-sleeping with powder,
dust and CRIME of the day on the face will
soon coarsen the finest skin and cause
various complexion troubles. Use a soft
wash cloth, rubbed on Velvetina Complexion
Soap and warm water, and after cleansing
the soft, oily Velvetina Massage, using
an upward and outward movement with the
finger tips, working out impurities from
the pores Of the skin. This treatment soon
produces marvellous results. Then in the
morning, apply Velvetina Vanishing Cream
and Velvetina Face Powder to protect the
delicate surface of the skin from the sun
and wind and this gives the whole secret
Of q perfect complexion for women. ADV
