\" n the beginning was the chin. The chin was pretty and without blem-
ish， and the spirit of Woman was gay as she went from party to party.
On the second day， a bump arose on her chin， and she worried. But
when evening came， she dusted it with powder and went to the opera.
.On the third day， more bumps arose--on her brow， her cheeks and
the very point of her nose. She scrubbed~ she rubbed， she wished them
away， but still they remained. Downcast and forlorn， she put away her
paints， her powders， her ointments and creams. She even declined an
invitation to tea. \"Let there be darkness，\" she cried. \"I sure as heck don t
want anyone to see me looking like this!\"
ADOLESCENCE REVISITED
You probablyassumed maturity brought rewards--like wisdom， pros-
perity and a dear complexiom But as many adults have discovered， white-
heads， blackheads and pimples can surface at any age.
That s because the skin is packed with oil-producing glands called
sebaceous glands. Most active on the face， chest and back， these glands
manufacture the oil that keeps your skin soft and pliable. In adolescence，
the new production of hormones stimulates the glands， making an over-
supply of oils that back up and clog the pores. Since the oil can t get out，
pressure builds. The walls of the ducts begin to swell， and pimples form.
But adults can get acne， too. Emotional stress and the hormonal changes
that occur during the mensti ual cycle have been linked to adult acne. Acne
is also believed to be inherited.
But acne isn t something you have to live with for the rest of your life.
Whether you re young or old， have an occasional pimple or a full-blown
case of acne， you may be able to help control the problem with simple skin
care.
SAVING FACE
Most cases of ache involve more than one pimple， and doctors rec-
ommend more than one means of control.
