CREAM
Nature gives every skin a moisture to keep it soft
and smooth. But every day washing, housework,
shaving and powdering, wind, alkali dust, hdtd
water, cold, and sun steal away this precious,
moisture. That's what makes skin coarse.
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. . '
