Shocking 1950s Cosmetics Ad

You won't believe what they do to this model's face to sell cold cream!

This Dorothy Gray Cosmetics commercial is advertising a new face cream that will remove ANYTHING from your face. That's right! Anything! To prove it, they use a radioactive tracer in the dirt to see just how much dirt the cold cream removes. Give your skin a special glow!

Honey, you're radiant........with radiation

Radioactive dirt, quite the problem back then. Good thing for Dorothy Grey Salon Cold Cream, it seems to have wiped the problem out completely.

P.S. They never said the cold cream was radioactive.. they said they made dirt radioactive and put it on the girls face to see which cleaning method worked best to remove it.. You have to assume something like, if it still clicked the cleaning method wasn't very successful. The reason they did this was to prove how much grit is on your face that isn't detectable by the naked eye.. and how much is left behind after you think you've washed thoroughly.

I just googled and found an article stating that "The average American gets a dose of around 360 millirems of radiation per year—roughly the equivalent of 36 X-rays..." And I personally have no idea how much or how little it would take to register on a geiger counter. I'd like to know!!! Maybe after something as common as an X-ray you'd be clicking too! Anyone know for sure?

I kept expecting to hear one of those high speed disclaimers at the end saying, "does not cure cancer".

There is nothing shocking about these Cream, but about the fact that the dust in 1950 had radiation! Who knows from what pollution or explosion Hiroshima, Nagasaki or the incidents reported by Wilhelm Reich.
