ELIZABETH ARDEN'S
VENETIAN SPECIAL ASTRINGENT AND VENETIAN ORANGE
SKIN FOOD.
For the contour
Elizabeth Arden emphasizes the need of moulding and strength. ening the muscles of the face, to keep the contour line young and firm. She recommends that you pat your face and neck briskly with Venetian Special Astringent, to lift the sagging tissues, and to bring a swift bracing stream of circulation to these muscles. Then pat again with VencianOrange Skin Food to supply the needs of thie suuken tissues and build up a firm contour.
