Health Routine For Adolescent

The adolescent girl (and boy) who is the vietim of acne, must face a rigid health routine if the undesired skin condition is to be corrected. No jar of oint- ment will banish the blemishes. and no amount of make-up will hide them. It takes will power and a knowledge of sane health rules to clear the skin and restore the fresh, lovely texture which young faces should have.

Some children escape the acne stage entirely and others are troubled by it for as many as five years. It appears in the early 'teens and should be sensibly treated from the start.

Many physicians (who are not skin specialists) dismiss this par- ticular skin problemi as some- thing which will pass in time. But they know, and many mothers know after it is too late, that sometimes acne does not disappear with time. It may hang on and destroy the skin texture leaving unlovely marks and enlarged pores in its wake.

WHAT TO DO

'There is an existing argument that acne is a local infection. Some doctors claim that a pore becomes infected and the infection travels about the face unless great pre- caution is practiced. Other physi- cians claim that acne is a blood condition.

'Not being a physician I cannot argue for either opinion. But I can report on a sane treatment which has helped to correct acne conditions and has been known to cure when other treatments have failed.

As all adolescents are addicted to silly eating habits it behooves mothers to correct their diets at once. Many raw fruits and veg- etables should be eaten, the juices of fruits and vegetables, only whole grain cereals, honey in place of sugar, or raw sugar, yolks of eggs in preference to whole

It is worth great effort to preserve the clear, beautifu}

texture of healthy youthful skin.
