To Helena Rubinstein dry skin-is-the most serious beauty problem. More than seven out of ten women have it. A dry skin ages quickly, lines casily, looks taut. Even if you are twenty and have only a tendency to dryness you will need i a gentle lubricant. You may be fifty or sixty and want a cream that is rich, Helena Rubinstein urges you to use these special lubricating creams at night. Smooth them in, Ini! rhythmic, upward strokes.
