Your Face Every Day

Piease accept this invitation to try our
wonderful new process for yourself. Just call to

. because you wear your face every day.

hen it comes to your face, only the best
will do. That's why I'm so excited about
our facial toning service that gives you what no
cosmetic or esthetic service can provide: we

can actually make you
look prettier, healthier
and noticeably younger.
Think about what
you've paid for a dress
that you might wear once
or twice. Then think
about the fact that you
wear your face every day.
I'm 41 and most people
think I'm 31. Wearing
that younger face every
day makes me feel great. &
Isn't it worth some time
and money to look
younger, healthier and
more attractive every day
of the year? 1 think it is
and our hundreds of
clients think so too.
