It sounds incredible but it is just plain truth. Did you know that the epidermisin other words, the outer layer or scarf-skin of your face constantly dying and being replaced by new cells? The dead skin-scales are what give your complexion that dull yellow look which face powder only temporarily disguises. Ask yourself why you use powder, anyway ? leu would not if your were satisfied with your complexion in its natural state. Just a little quiet thinking will show you that if your skin is undergoing this dry-ing-up, dying-off process there is something you can do to assist Nature in her rejuvenating efforts. The dead scarf-skin will not come away of its own accord. On the contrary, the tiny dead scales clog the pores and cause impurities to form, hiding the perfect skin which is struggling to show itself and to breathe just underneath. Remove this outer scarf-skin which has served its turn, by applications of mercolizcd wax. This fragrant compound is a most marvelous discovery, for it dissolves and completely removes the dead discoloured veil, revealing the smooth, clear skin underneath. All facial eruptions and blemishes arise from allowing the dead epidermis to remain. Mercolized wax contains wonderful absorptive properties which clear the complexion while you sleep. Ask you chemist to supply you with a small quantity and after washing the face in warm water, apply it as you would any ordinary face cream, and do not wash it off until the morning. If you do this every night on retiring, for ten days or so, you will see amazing results.
