A COMPLEXION SECRET REVEALED.

BY INTERVIEWER

Recently, while interviewing a famous Parisian beauty specialist who had just retired from business after making a large fortune by restoring ruined complexions, I inquired if she would mind giving me the formula of her secret preparation, so that I might publish it for the benefit of my readers. She replied that as a matter of fact she had never used any secret remedy for the complexion. “ Bad complexions,” said this successful specialist, “ are nearly always complexions that have been smothered and covered up by an undue accumulation of the tiny sea lop composing the epidermis. These dead and useless scales contain practically all the lines, wrinkles, and blemishes which go to make up bad complexions, and completely hide the real complexion which only exists in the dermis or true skin. My success was due to the discovery that a simple vegetable solvent or wax called parinol wax would gently remove this hardened layer of dead scales, and completely restore all the soft delicate bloom of youth. Any lady can do this for herself. Simply get a little parinol wax from your chemist—the grade known as pure parinol wax is best — and apply liberally to the face at night; in the morning wash off with warm water and a soft cloth, and note how much clearer and softer the skin has become. Repeat for three or four nights, and the transformation will he complete.” I advise all ladies with poor and wrinkled complexions to got some pure parinol wax at once, and give if; a trial. Judging from my own experience, I feel positive that you will be delighted with the results.—M. 11. —Advt.
