Mar 1938: Toilet Soap ad from Lux «Honey. You're so sweet»

An advertisement for Lux Toilet Soap featuring Claudette Colbert. It highlights how to avoid Cosmetic Skin and achieve a flawless, film-star complexion by using Lux soap to thoroughly remove makeup.

Honey. You're so sweet

THERE are lots of women who believe they're removing their powder and rouge thoroughly at night. But really they leave tiny traces deep in their pores. That's why they suddenly find their skins look drab and coarse. That their complexions are muddy. They're getting horrid Cosmetic Skin!

Because it has a lather richer than any other soap, 846 film stars out of 857 use Lux Toilet Soap to guard against Cosmetic Skin. It cleanses the skin of dirt, stale powder and grease as nothing else does. That's why Lux Toilet Soap is the official soap in the big film studios.

At bedtime, and before making up afresh during the day, remove your powder with Lux Toilet Soap. This way you'll avoid Cosmetic Skin and gain a flawless, film-star complexion.

Claudette Colbert (PARAMOUNT) "I guard against Cosmetic Skin by using Lux Toilet Soap. It's the one thing that removes make-up thoroughly -keeps my skin clear and flawless."
TL 916-234-65

JANE'S DAZZLING SKIN is a magnet to the men-it's so clear, so soft. She uses some powder and make-up of course, but takes good care to avoid ugly Cosmetic Skin.

"I KNOW that even tiny traces of stale powder left in the pores can be dangerous," says Jane. "Soon your pores get clogged, then your skin goes muddy, coarse and spotty. That's the start of Cosmetic Skin."

SO EVERY NIGHT, Jane guards against Cosmetic Skin by removing her make-up with Lux Toilet Soap. Its lather cleanses the pores of dirt and powder as nothing else does. "That's why all the film stars use it," says Jane..

JOHN THINKS Jane has the loveliest skin he ever saw. And Jane means to keep it that way- always clear and smooth and fresh. "Every girl can have a romantic skin if she uses Lux Toilet Soap" says Jane.

Apr 1920: Shampoo ad from Stallax «Glorious Hair»

This is an ad for Stallax Shampoo, which claims to be the best shampoo for beautiful hair. The ad features a woman with long, luxurious hair and the product is available at all good chemists.

Glorious Hair

THE desire of any
woman, no matter
whether she be plain or
pretty, is to possess an
abundance of beautiful hair,
and she who possesses it
knows the secret satisfaction
of having a gift which
can be relied on to inspire
general admiration.
The life, lustre and
strength of the hair depend
on the regular use of a
really good shampoo.
Stallax
is undoubtedly the simplest and
best shampoo. Its delicious foam
ing lather not only cleanses the
hair thoroughly, but produces that
luxuriant burnished sheen that is so
admired. The hair dries quickly,
and though beautifully soft it is
quite manageable.
All good chemists supply Stallax in ¼-lb.
packages, sufficient for 25 shampoos.
