Soothes while it cleanses

Some women will complain that soap is
too harsh, tHat it ages and dries their
skins. This proves they are using the
wrong soap.
The smooth, creamy lather of Palm
olive soothes while it cleanses. II re-
moves every trace OF injurious dirt and
skin accumulations and secretions, leav-
ing the face bccomingly soft and smooth,
with radiant freshness and natural color.
The use of cosmetics isn't harmful if
the basis is skin that is thoroughly,
healthfully clean. In case of dryness, ap-
ply your favorite cold cream both before
and after washing.
