100 years ago: A woman skier in an ad for Colgate cold cream, Delineator, February 1920.
Daggett & Ramsdell’s Perfect Cold Cream ad. Delineator, February 1920.
Cold cream to relieve chapped and chafed skin. 1920.
Winter weather provided a perfect reason to apply one of the many cold cream products available in 1920. This one was for faces, hands, and even babies. The same manufacturer also sold face powder in “flesh, white, or brunette.”
Another brand, Bourjois Java Face Powder (sold since 1860!) also based this 1920 ad on skiing:
