How to have a perfect skin

No girl need be afflicted with bad compex;on
for Improvement is simple and easy. Daily cleans
ing, gentle but thorough, is the secret.
You must use soap, for nothing will remove the
dirt oil and perspiration which collects in the
pores and causes most skin trouble
Choose Palmolivc, because its action is soothing.
Harsh soap should never be used for washing the
face.
Massage the smooth, creamy lather gently into
the skin until it removes all clogging deposits.
Don't forget your neck and throat. They are as
conspicuous as the face for any lack in beauty
Careful rirsing leaves the skin stimulated, fresh
cncd and free from the accumulation which en-
larees the pores, causes blackhcads and carry IN
lection.

Modern scientists. with all their research, have
not been able to discover milder, more soothing,

But although very expensive, the gigantic vol
