« Valaze Powder is splendid, a delicious ocent. It is quite the nicest preparation of its i kind that I have so far come upon.” This is a candid word on Face Powders. There are all sorts in the shops. To start with, there is the fact that all are sold indiscriminately for all sorts of skins, which is absurd. Sonic skins are dry, and some are moist and oily. Impossible to have a powder to suit both. Mile. Helena Rubinstein, the famous Viennese Complexion Specialist©, has introduced two perfect face powders. NO VENA POUDRE is a “fatty” powder, for dry and normal skins. This has another curious quality : it is the only powder on eart h which is also a skinfood. Then there is the VALAZE COMPLEXION POWDER, for greasy skins. To dust a fat powder over a greasy skin would be as though one should attempt to quench a fire with petroleum ; while to put an absorbent powder oil a dry skin would be the. merest waste of time. It would not adhere, and if it did, it would aggravate the dryness. This is one of those matters in regard to which women have been long astray. Powder, yes —but only the powder that suits you. Both those mentioned above are sold in boxes, 2s 6d. Mile. Rubinstein’s other specialities are: NO VENA HAIR DESTROYER, which instantly removes superfluous hairs from the face, neck and arms, without detriment to the skin, 5s 6d. NOVENA SUNPROOF AND WINDPROOF CREME, safeguards the complexion from the ill-effects of the sun as well as of cold and biting winds. In jars, 2s and 3s Gd.
