Why The Skin Chapps And Becomes Rough In Winter Many people who have beautiful, soft, white, skin during the Spring: and Summer months wonder why Ikey suffer from chapped hands and face during the winter months. The fact is, said a noted Skin Specialist recently:—Warm weather has a ten dency to bring a natural oily mois tvro to the surface of the skin which keeps it soft and smooth. In cold weather this action is reversed and the natural oils of the body are un able to reach the surface and as a result the skin cracks, chaps and be comes rough. Often the skin cracks until it bleeds, chilblains develop and the soreness, burning and irritation are very trying, indeed. To prevent the skin from chapping or from be coming rough and red, great care should be used in drying the hands or face after washing and a little ordi nary ani-o-nized cocoa cream should be rubbed over the hands and face at night before retiring. It is easy to apply, and will keep the skin soft, velvety-smooth and white even though you are exposed to the most trying weather, livery trace of sore ness will usually vanish after a single application. Am-o-nized Cocoa Cream costs little and can be obtained from any good dtuggist. It has an enorm ous sale at thHs time of the year, as it seemes to contain just the nourish ment renuired to keep the skin in perfect condition during the winter months.
