CREAM LOTION
Nature gives every skin a moisture to keep it soft
and smooth. But every day washing, housework,
shaving and powdering, wind, alkali dnst, hai d
water, cold, and sun steal away this precious v
moisture. That's what makes skin oarse.
CREAM LOTION, however, is scientifically pre
pared to put back into the skin a precious moisture
exactly the same as nature's. It's the all-round skin
guardian.,
