You are so young, Mama

From the wonderful German-language vintage site, vongestern.com (fromyesterday) comes this Swiss ad:

Crème Malacéïne, 1936



She seems to be the sister of her son!

A mother always watches with a certain bitterness as her children grow up.  The more her daughter becomes a woman, the more her son grows into a man, the more she believes "that her time is past".

Why this bitterness?  Haven't you ever wondered about these happy mothers, whom we often mistake for the sister of her kids on account of their fresh skin and their dazzling complexion?

LOOK AS YOUNG AS YOUR CHILDREN.

A few minutes of daily care can let you look many years younger.  But choose a cream that not only works on the surface, but also (and in particular) works on the inner tissue of your skin, which is of course extremely sensitive.  MALACEINE Cream is prepared especially for this skin-penetrating effect.  It enlivens the weakened productive layers and helps them bring forth new, powerful and supple cells.  It also protects the surface of the skin, it gives it back the softness and elasticity of a 20-year-old and continually removes the wrinkles that are already beginning to drag their furrows.
