Word has it a new salve has been discovered which is guaranteed to give not just fair but perfect skin to those who apply it daily, and high born ladies throughout the city are vying for a chance to get it.

The magical salve, called Angel Skin, is made of a secret mixture of 14 ingredients which includes nightshade (known to beautify the eyes), mercury (known to grant eternal youth), and arsenic (known to brighten the skin), infused by magic, and is rumoured to cost over 100 gold pieces for a seasons worth.

The apothecary guild has been quite tight-lipped about it, and is said to only make it available to the most deserving of noblewomen.
