The complexion which
always . attracts
She may not be beautiful, this girl who
wins attention, and other women wonder
what men see in her. 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.
The Palmolive Company. Milwaukee, U.S.A. The
Palmolive Coitpany 0 Canada, Limited, Toronto, Ont.

Classic beauties
used them
Thr beutin of Egypt, Gtetce int
Rome used palm andoliveoi'i. Andthoie
Dcitnti bequeathed to uj their tecret of
kejiity.
The modern icientiit, iftcr all hi tests,
findi nothing to compue. So we go to
Africa for pjlm oil to Spain for olive oil.
Anil we blend those, cosmetici of ancient
queens in a balmy, penetrating leap.
