A few minutes devotod dally to the care of your skhy will keep you young and supple, healthy and attractive. "Beauty and health are the chief sources of happiness," says Bea- consfield.

But how, you ask, can I appro- priate benuty?

Our medical, chemical and cosmetic experti have solved the question". for you, Madam,
