The ad provides instruction on how to achieve beauty.

Here’s all you do: Gently massage Palmolive’s extra-mild pure lather onto your skin for just a minute, three times a day. Then rinse and pat dry. You’ll see Palmolive bring out your beauty while it cleans your skin.

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
