Carefully Avoid
Skin Disorders

COSMETICS HAVE reached
a high degree of purity and per-
fection, yet the skin may have
an afiergy for even the best.
So make a change, If you see
that your complexion is not In
normal state. Use soaps of the
blandest. Rinse every bit of

Keep the skin scrupulously
clean; keep your fingers away
from it. Finger tips pick up
germs that may invade the
pores, cause trouble. Don't rub
your eyes when wearing soiled

careful.
The skin is a health barometer.
It may be sick abed because
