Get rid of Disfiguring Blemishes
this
Easy Way
Nothing can be more distract
ing to a woman than ugly pimples, burning irritations.or patches of blackheads or en- larged pores on the face or neck. Some resort to heavy powdering in an effort to hide them; whilst others cause the skin
to
become muddy - loolding, coarse and blemished by using the wrong treatment.
To make your skin clear and healthy, to cleanse clogged facial ports, remore blackheads and pimples and to make your complexion clearer and smoother, use Cuticura.
Cleanse the skin' with Cuti- cura Soap twice a day. Its luxuriant and mildly antiseptic lather is soothing and softening: washes away pore-deep dirt which causes blackheads, en- larged pores and ugly com plexion defects.
To rid the skin of pimples, akin outbreaks, rashes or irrita tons use Cuticura Ointment direct on the affected part before washing with the soap. Its anti septic action kills germs, soothes and heals and quickly clears the skin.
