Get rid of Disfiguring Blemishes

this

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. Some 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 Curicura.

Cleanse the skin with Cuti- cura Soap twice a day. Its luxuriant and mildly antiseptic lacher is soothing and softening; washes away pore-deep din which causes blackheads, en- larged pores and ugly com plexion defects.

To rid the skin of pimples, akin putbreaks, rashes or irrit 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.

Cuticura

For Clear Healthy Skin

Sold by all Chemists and Stores. Ask for Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. And for powder use Cuticura Talcum-exceptionally fine and pure, exquisitely perturned.
