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. Seine resort to heavy powdering, in an effort to hide them; whilst others cause the skin to become muddy looking, coarse and blemished by using the wrong treatment.
To make your skin clear and healthy, to cleanse clogged facial pores, remove 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, skin outbreaks, rashes or irrita tions 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.
