Look again, and the compelling charm proves to be a smooth, fresh, lawless skin, radiant with the charm of health. Such a complexion transforms even plain features and lends beauty to every type. It is an attraction every woman can achieve if she will learn to give her skin proper care. Cleopatra's beauty secret The means was discovered 3,000 years ago in ancient Egypt. The use of palm and olive oils as cosmetic cleansers was one of Cleopatra's beauty secrets. There is nothing known so good for skins as palm and olive oils. And these areblended in Palmolive soap. Soap is essential Nothing takes the place of soap. Use whatever else you will. But once a day, wash off the oil, dirt, perspiration and powder, which clog the pores. To do that you need soap. Not or dinary soap, harsh and irritating. That is not for faces. Use a soap which is an emollient, which is smooth and balmy in effect. Such soap is made by modern science from blended palm and olive oils. Before you sleep Use powderand rouge if you wish, but don't leave them on at night. Remove them with a soft, penetrating, cleansing lather. Blackheads and pimples result from clogged pores. Wash your face nightly with mild, pure soothing Palmolive soap and protect yourself against skin troubles. Millions of women keep their skins clean and healthy, smooth and fresh, by the use of Palmolive soap. 10 cents the modest price No higher price can buy a better skin soap. The supreme ingredients in a facial soap are palm and olive oils. The Palmolive price is due to mam moth production. And to our policy to bring the best within the reach of all.
