FRECKLED SUNBURNT COMPLEXIONS.

That the sun plays havoc with tho complexion lias been an accepted fact from the earliest days, but the why and wherefore Science lias now o'jly succeeded in ascertaining. When these things had been proved, it only remained to devise means of counteracting the influence of those rays: to not only banish, but to prevent freckles, sunburn, tan and sallowness. Continental Scientists solved the-problems and Mademoiselle Helena Rubinstein has been given the sole control of these wonderful "sun-expelling" discoveries.

The first preparation before which freckles, sallowness, sunbunr and tan completely retreat is Valaze,, whose skinclearing and whitening properties are marvellous. Valaze charms evc;'V particle of impurity out of the skin, _ and makes it puro and radiant, from within a fortnight to a month of its first application. Price, 4s.' and Is. a jar. Tho other discovery is Noveiia. Sunproof Creme, and the timely use of this speciality, couplcd with Valaze, destroys the tanning and freckling effect of the sun's rays, rendering the skin immune from discolouration. Price, 2s. and 3s. Gd. Other Summer preparations are Novena Poudro for dry and normal skins; Valaze Powder for greasy, over-moist skins, each 2s. Od.
