When people of this type try 1o reduce thelr weight to normal thelr faces become haggard; when they zain more weight their faces as well as their bodies become plumper. Many a woman finds herself in this dilemma by the time she is 40 years old Her first thought usually is to buy a jar of cocoa butter to be massaged in the flabby skin.
