PICTUREGOER Weekly November 27. 1937 MlflWED THIS BEUTf CARE" THE VISt'OI'.MKSS MOOR K EVEN if I have got a new evening cloak, I can't go with a rough, patchy complexion ! ' " How well I remember saying that to a friend on the day I received an invitation to a 'first night ' at a famous West End theatre. " My friend was older and wiser than I . She took me along to a chemist's and bought me a large jar of Pond's Cold Cream. 'Cleanse your skin with it,' she advised. ' Do this faithfully every night.' I obeyed. And thank goodness I did! By the time the great night arrived I know my skin was as soft and smooth as the velvet of my new cloak. Of course, I have never forgotten the beauty lesson I learnt from that 'first night'." See how lovely you will be when you care for your skin as Lady Moore cares for hers. This is how Pond's Cold Cream works on your skin to make it so lovely : The beauty of your skin depends on the under-skin — a network of glands, muscles and blood-vessels which lies beneath the skin you see when you look in your mirror. That under I skin must be active with the J^S blood flowing briskly, or glands and muscles fail to work properly. Then ' dullness, roughness, lines, blackheads and enlarged pores appear. Treat your under-skin and end skin faults Even before you are 20 your under-skin begins to get sluggish. But when you pat in Pond's Cold Cream, it cleanses the pores and stimulates your underskin. The nourishing blood flows faster. Muscles are braced. Glands work properly again. Then blackheads are softened — they press out easily. Enlarged pores close. And your skin is fine-textured, clear and radiant. Every night cleanse your face with Pond's Cold Cream. Always before you powder use Pond's Vanishing Cream. It makes your powder go on beautifully and holds it on for hours. Also it puts into your skin one substance that softens and another that nourishes, keeping your skin without a line. Start using Pond's Creams tomorrow— they cost so little that every girl can afford them.
