It’s Fashion Friday!
During the late 1800s, the Toilet Mask Company marketed their Madame Rowley’s Toilet Mask as a way to beautify and preserve a woman’s complexion. This advertisement advises women to wear the mask at least three times per week while sleeping. It claims that the mask is superior to cosmetics and that it can permanently remove all blemishes. The toilet mask may or may not have worked as advertised, but, the ad includes several unattributed quotes that vouch for its effectiveness.
