THE ELIZABETH ARDEN'S
WAY TO LOVELINESS.
Cleanse the skin daily with VENETIAN CLEANSING CREAM. This cream liquefies quickly with the warmth of the skin and pene- trates the depth of the pores where it dissolves and dislodges all impurities. Clear and tone the skin with ARDENA SKIN TONIC, its a mild astringent which clases enlarged pores and firmsTM the skin.
Next apply a nourishing cream..
VELVA
CREAM for those who have a full face, as it nourishes without fattening the tissues. For a thin or lined face ORANGE SKIN FOOD is ex- cellent. It fills out hollows, and gives the com- plexion that well-cared-for look. For lines and wrinkles MUSCLE OIL can be used over VELVA CREAM or ORANGE SKIN FOOD.
