YOUTHFUL COMPLEXIONS' FOR ALL

Examination and research show,that all tlie beauties of the complexion actually exist in the dermis or true skin, which in childhood ie covered by a thin, transparent scarf skin, called the epidermis, through which the delicate, rosy complexion of the true skin glows in iill its beauty. As years are added, the true skin remains tne same, but.the minute scales of which the scarf , skin is built up from beneath grow-thicker and harder, and do not fall off when tliej' become dead and useless ; consequently the scarf skin becomes thick, lined, wrinkled and discoloured, completely hiding, the beautiful natural complexion which still exists in the[ true skin beneath, and can only be brought to light by removing the layers of dead and useless scales of the scarf skin.. Soap and water and cold creams will remove a few of the loosest scales; but the elosely-pneked layers of dead outer tissue can only bo removed by mean* of a. solvent, such as the vegetable wax cnlied parinol wax, which seems to possess the remarkable property of penetrating into and gradually loosening and removing all the dead caked scales which- havo hidden and disfigured the complexion. Every lady should get a supply of pure parinol wax and apply it ie the face each night,, and in the morning, when washing it off, much of the dead scarf skin will come with it. Continue this regularly, and note the marvellous improvement in vour skin and complexion. * 654 i
