sequence Woodbury's Facial
Soap can be used with extremely
sensitive and tender skins which
often react unfavorably to other
toilet soaps.
Use Woodbury's daily in your
toilet and see how instantly your
skin will begin to respond to its
tonic qualities.
You will find Woodbury's one
of the most economical soaps
you have ever used. A ascent
cake lasts for a month or six
weeks-almost twice as long as
an ordinary toilet soap of the
same apparent size.

If used regularly, Woodbury's
Facial Soap has a markedly
beneficial effect on the skin as
an organism. 1t stimulates the

The power of Woodbury's
Facial Soap to benefit and i'm

the fact that it is based on a
special formula, the result of
years of scientific study of the
skin and its needs. Only the
purest and finest ingredients

IF your skin is a constant problem
! to you-if you cannot keep it
smooth and flawless-then you may
be sure it is because you are not
using the right treatment for your
special type of skin.
Skins differ wide1y-and each different
type of skin needs different kind of care.
The girl whose complexion is of an oily
type should use a special form of cleansing
to counterfeit its tendency to become dis
agreeably shiny.
The girl with pale, sallow skin needs
treatment that will rouse and stimulate
the delicate pores and blood vessels.
No matter what your type of skin hap
pens to be-you can overcome its de-
fecfs! By the right treatment, followed
persistently, you can give it the natural
charm, the fresh loneliness and
color that come from healthy,
~ well-cared-for condition of the
~ skin itself.
u Remember that your skin
is constantly chan6inG-each
day old skin dies and new
skin takes its place. By giving
this new skin the special care
suited to its needs you can make
it as clear and smooth as you
want it to be.
