creams

To Holena 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 dry- ness you will need a gentlo lubricant. You may be fifty or sixty and want a cream that is rich. Helena Rubin- stein urges you to use these special lubricating creams at night. Smooth them in, in rhythmic, upward strokes. Lullaby for a sleeping beauty!
