\" 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

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.

that occur during the mensti ual cycle have been linked to adult acne. Acne
is also believed to be inherited.
