The problem with comedones: These unpleasant cosmetic defects affecting people with dry or greasy skin can be removed with a face pack of 2 soup-spoonfuls of maize or oats meal mixed with beaten up egg-white. After the face pack dries, it is removed with a dry cotton cloth, and then the face is washed with cold water and dried. With isolated dark bumps you can try energetic rubbing in some lemon juice (better after a vapourbath). After this procedure the face must be daubed with alcohol containing lotion, if your skin is greasy or almond or castor oil, if your skin is dry.
