BEAUTY IMPROVED

BY THE ACQUIREMENT OF A LOVELY COMPLEXION,

D. RIGGE of New Bond street, cultivator and distiller of Roses and other Flowers to His Roval Highness the Prince of Wales, has Invented a ROSE CREAM, or refined ALMOND PASTE, to wash with, the pleas ing effects at ending the use of which are indescribable. Imagine a most innocent and elegant composition formed of Almonds and Roses, capable of preserving the delicacy of the Skin, also of improving the finest Complexion, and a trial of the Rose Cream, will realize the idea. It is a highly concentrated Milk of Roses, containing the emollient properties of the Almond, in the proportion of ten to one in comparison with that celebrated cosmetic, and is in the same proportion more efficacious for softening the Skin and improving its delicacy of texture. Ladies using this Cream to wash with, will not in the most inclement season experience the inconvenience of chapped or rough Hands or Arms.. Those whose complexions have been injured by an ex

posure to saline air, or too much sun, are informed that the Rose Cream is an effectual remedy for such inconveniences.-Price 3s. 6d. or six pots in a case 20s.! samples 1s. 6d.

To Ladies who have occasion for Rouge, Rigge begs to recommend his Liquid Bloom, made from Damask Roses. This Rouge is so suitable to the complexion that it cannot when judiciously applied be distinguished from a natural Bloom. It is as innocent as simple Rose Water, and may be used to the lips, when required, with a pleasing effect, price 3s. 6d. and 7s -Those elegant and approved articles are prepared at D. Rigge's Plantation, Wandsworth, and sold in London, at his Warehouse only, No. 31, New Bond-street. [836
