One of the worst things about blackheads is that they often are forerunners of acne.
Acne is that scourage of beauty lovers, a skin disease that manifests itself by pimples that are apt to group themselves into pinkish splotches.

Sadly it is most prevalent during adolescence and is well calculated to deflate the ego of the youngster having it. It is very important, in the first place, to realize that acne is quite a universal affliction, that it should not be taken too much to heart but should be taken seriously enough to do something about it, and  that acne can be treated all naturally.Do not use facial creams when you have acne, unless they are especially recommended by you physician. Wash your face gently morning and night with warm water and a pure soap and a wash cloth that will really cleanse your face, wash it several times carefully and thoroughly and rinse with cold water. This washing does much to help clear the face, for it gets superfluous fat out of the way.

Watch yourself constantly to see that you do not finger your face absent-mindedly. Dirty fingers can start infections on acne faces and even clean fingers can spread acne. If you have an exaggerated case acne go to a physician, as it may be a case of clogged system and you may need regular exercise and diet to clean your system thorughly.

Good beauty parlors have special treatments also for acne.

Last, but not least, in this treatment of acne, be careful of makeup. It is much better to go with a naked face and only rouged lips for a spell and have the pleasure of seeing acne clear up than to irritate a sore face with rouge and powder.
