Do face creams really F.work? by HELEN A parks and mountain peaks Great Lakes,- the St. Lawrence or one of the schooner trips offered on both coasts, on which the whole family ships as crew. - ! I I S ; 1 1 4. Mountain climbing: One of the best places for this wonderful sport is the White Mountain National Forest. It covers 725,- 000 acres, in New Hampshire and Maine, and offers over a thousand miles of trails. You probably dont need to go far. A few miles beyond our house in Tucson, visible through our picture window, lies a magnificent range of desert mountains known as the Santa Catalinas. When Tommy and Scott were 8 and 7 years old, part of my time as a beauty consultant is spent good answering the many questions about face creams that come in the mail every day. In order to answer them fully. Ive had to make a careful study of creams from queen bee jelly and hormone creams to medicated and vitamin creams. Ive found, as Im sure that many of you have, that while most we started attacking the high ridge at the west end of the range, making an annual expedition of it, each year climbing a little higher. At last, just two years ago, we reached the top and built a fire there so that the smoke would tell Ermalee and the other children, watching at the window, that we had conquered our mountain. I am sure there are similar challenges near your home that your family can tackle. The important part is getting up and going. The rewards are beyond measure for yourself, and, as our new President has pointed out, in the long run for the country, too. Thaind creams will do some good, none quite lives up to my expectations. In the past year, Ive received many letters about face creams containing those new beauty ingredients polyunsaturates. Women all over America want to know what they are, how they compare with other beauty ingredients, and what can be expected of them. This overwhelming curiosity led me into a really intensive study of i W K polyunsaturate face creams. The first thing I wanted to know was exactly what polyunsaturates are. According to research men I talked with, polyunsaturates, unlike many other beauty ingredients, are actual elements of young, healthy skin. An unusual thing about these skin elements is that, for some reason not yet known, they drain away with time. In fact, scientific tests have shown that when youre 20, your skin contains about 50 more polyunsaturates than it does at 40. The next thing I wanted to know was whether a polyunsatu- rate face cream can really help compensate for the skins dwin- dling supply of these elements. The consensus of cosmeticians and research men was yes. But, there is one slight catch. Polyunsaturates have a tendency to turn rancid and PORTER This means that the cream you use must contain polyunsaturates in fresh, stabilized lose their potency. form in order to be effective. With these facts in hand, I ex- perimented with the various creams on the market and found one that claimed to have polyunsaturates that stay fresh and potent. I contacted the research director who developed this cream (its made by Prince Matchabelli and called Polyderm). He told me it has a unique formula containing all 3 stabilized, natural polyunsaturates. He went on to say that these elements are the main basis of the formula and are not watered down with unnecessary ingredients. I then asked him just wbat Polyderm can do for the skin and found that besides supplying skin with potent polyunsaturates, it helps seal in needed moisture. This means Polyderm acts two ways to help keep skin firm and soft. To make a long story short, I tested Polyderm myself by using it regularly. To my surprise, I found that this sheer, greaseless cream did everything the research director claimed. My skin feels more resilient and alive, and, whats more important, my complexion is fresher and more youthful-lookin- g than it has been in years. Because I feel actual use is the best way to demonstrate a new product, I asked the people at Prince Matchabelli to make a trial size of Polyderm available. It sells for $2, $3.50, $5 in the stores, but now you can get a weeks supply, trial-siz- e jar. Just send 251, your name and address to Polyderm, P.O. Box 32, Mt. Vernon, N. Y. |
