From the December 1929 issue of McCall's magazine.
The aim of this blog is to take you there... to the 1920's!
I'll be posting photos, illustrations,
magazines, music,
and all kinds of vintage things that come straight from the 1920's.

Palmolive
"Wash your face gently with soothing Palmolive Soap, massaging the lather softly into the skin. Rinse thoroughly, first with warm water, then with cold.
"If your skin is inclined to be dry, apply a touch of good cold cream - that is all. Do this regularly, and particularly in the evening."
This is the "rule" to follow with Palmolive, taken from this 1927 ad.
