Oily Skin is Acid

Beauty experts now realize that
an oily skin is an acid skin, and
that enlarged pores, blemishes, sal
low, off color skin are due pri-
marily TO acid skin excretions.
They have discovered til a t
creamed magnesia neutralizes acid
impurities on the skin and beauti-
fies the complexion in the same
easy way that milk OF magneSia
purihes the stomach.
Cremed magnesia is as simple
to use as washing your face. All
you do is anoint your face, mas
sage for few minutes, and rinse
with water. No other washing is
necessary. Should your skin tingle
at the first application, it is a sign
that skin acids are at work, un-
