all reed a powder that is absolutely smooth and silky. That's why I use Cuticura Talcum. It is the most exquisitely fine powder I've ever used. And the perfume is a wonderful blend both fragrant and wholesome—it smells so clean and sweet" The reason why Cuticura Takum is used by women who are extra particular about their toilet powder is that it has a fineness and purity which is unexcelled.
Cuticura is scientifically prepared by a special process-it has the same guaranteed quality of excellence which has made Cuticura Soap famous all over the world. If the skin is overheated and chafed, Cuticura Talcum soothes it at once. Its cool 'satiny' softness is like a balm. Use it after bathing-before dancing or strenuous exercise. It absorbs perspiration-you stay sweet, dainty and fresti for hours.
