Skin Troubles

Men and women who suffer from: skin affections, particularly those appearing on the face, are very sensitive about the condition. Ustially these people, suffer from dandruff as well, which must be treated in order to obtain any im. provement in the skin. The scalp should be washed regularly with spirit soap and a suitable lotion rubbed in.

Highly seasoned food or alcohol | for very hot drinks, particularly tea and coffee, should be avoided. Face massage is of distinct value whilst the application of a lotion such as calamine to which sulphur has been added, is soothing to the skin.
