What sells cosmetics in the 1950's? Radioactive Dirt on the Face of a Model

According to this 1950's cosmetics commercial, Dorothy Gray Salon Cold Cream removed radioactive dirt. As you can see, a small amount of radioactive dirt was splashed onto a model's face and a geiger counter was held up to her face to demonstrate the detection of the radioactive dirt.

Nothing says glamour like radioactive dirt and a geiger counter. Not only did the cold cream give women a young complexion, but it also removed radioactive dirt. Win-win!

As the commercial says, "A clean skin is a healthy skin." 

And a healthy skin stays healthier without the application of radioactive dirt. 

Too bad we missed out on the opportunity to send away for the Atomic Test Booklet.
