HOW MANY SKINS HAVE WE? AND HOW OFTEN DO WE CHANGE THEM? Of course, everyone knows we have several skins, but what every woman doea not know (and it is primarily a woman's question) is that the epidermis, or outer scarf-skin of the face out-wcars itself from time to time, and a new one—the one that lies just underneath— waits ready to take its place. | You may have noticed how, in cases of I sunburn, the face “peels.” But burning I the skin oft is a very painful method of acquiring a new skin, and not one women i would choose. The process of decay in the surface skin of the face is normally I almost imperceptible, for the dead scales ; arc very minute. What they do, though, is to clog the pores and attract every atom of dust and dirt which more readily attack and adhere to the skin. The result is a thoroughly bad complexion, dull, , colourless, and frequently disfigured with j spots and blemishes. ! The only way to restore freshness and bloom to the complexion is to gcc rid of the out-worn scarf-skin by the use of mercolizcd was. This fragrant compound will remove the dead skin while you sleep, for it completely dissolves the decayed tissues and uncovers the soft, clear skin j underneath. Mercolized wax possesses rare absorptive qualities which accom- , plish this without any discomfort whatso- ; ever, and without the slightest irritation of the most sensitive skin. All you need do is to procure a small quantity from the chemist, and at bedtime, after washing the face in warm water, apply it as you would any ordinary face cream, taking care to leave it on until the morning, when wash again with warm water and a good toilet soap. Ten days or so of this treatment will give you a new complexion as fresh, clear and soft as a child's. It has been there all the time, just waiting for a chance to reveal itself.
