Lesson in Scientific
Complexion Renewing
Everyone has a beautiful skin under
neath the one exposed to view. Bear that
in mind and it will be easier to understand
the correct principle in acquiring a' lovely
complexion. Nature Is constantly shedding
the top skin in flaky particles like dan
druff, only much smaller in size. In ab
normal conditions, or in advancing age,
these particles are not shed as rapidly as
in robust youth. The longer they remain
the more soiled or faded they become
that's the immediate causa of a "bad com
plexion." It has been discovered that ordinary mer
colized wax, to be had at any drug store,
will absorb these worn-out particles. The
absorption, while hastening Nature's work,
goes on gradually enough to cause no
Inconvenience. In a week or two the trans
formation is complete. The fresh, healthy
hued, youthful underskin ia then wholly in
evidence. You who are not satisfied with
your complexions should get an ounce of
mereolixed wax and try this treatment Use
the wax nirhtly, like cold cream, washing
it off morninga. Adv.
Bee Want Ads produce f cults. Try
one and be convinced.
