Pretty White Skin

Many women will undoubtedly be glad
to know how they may have beautiful
white. soft, pretty skin regardless Of
their age or the work they have to do.

prised at the pleasant Transformation
that has been wrought by even a single
application. Ice-Mint is made from a
japanese product that is simply mar

ments and 1t is predicted that wrinkles
