Even a skin that is naturally fine needs constant safeguarding: the smoothest cheeks must be protected against the ravages of rain, sun, wind. Beauty (says Elizabeth Arden) depends on care: with the regular restful routine of cleansing, toning, soothing. First banish dust and impurities' with Venetian Cleansing Cream: then tone and refresh the tissues with Ardena Skia Tonic: . and soothe and nourish them with Velva Cream to prevent wrinkles, or Orange Skin Food for the dry skin. Pass your finger-tips over your face and admire the result! Beauty out of doors needs special care: for sports choose Protecta Cream, both sunproof and waterproof; or Lille de France, a Batering protective lotion for town and country ust.
