Complexion
By WILMA BANKY
Beware ofany but a true
complexion soap
used this Way

HEEPING the skin clean, the
n pores open, is only half the Sc
cret Of good complexion. The most
important advice is to use ONLY a
true complexion soap ever on the face.
A soap may be excellent for a
thousand purposes, yet be too harsh
for the skin. Good compilations are
often thus inperiled.
Hence, largely on expert advice,
thousands use Palmolive Soap. A
soap made solely for ONE purpose
to safeguard good compilations. A
beauty soap you knoy is safe to use.
Wash your face gently with
Palmolive. Massage its balmy lather
of olive and palm oils into the akin.
