COSMETIC VALUE or vrTAMINS

To the best Of my knowledge and
 belief no known vitamin cafl be used either by the skin or by the body ifl general when applied isl any form to the skin surface. Therefore lt is foloigh ai16 ineXcuBably WaBteful and extravagaflt 10 apply Vitar1inS ifl soaps, unguentg, creams or other preparations intended for uSe on skin or hair.
 Numerous vendors CT makers of cosmetic noBtrumg attempted to make the guliible public believe that there was some magic beautis flying effect to to obtained by ap. plying cosmetic preparations cons taining the vitanlif1s, usually in ins significant quantity. But the fed. erai authorities cracked down Oil that line of iokunl and there re.
 mains only the vague impression, if1 the mind of the uasophisitcated, that vitaininS are somehow bene. ficial to the complexion.
 Tn one sense, as have already explained, vitamins do help to pre- serve what was formerly called that schoolgirl complexion"-you can hardly sec t nowadays for the fnake-up-that jS, afi adequate in- take of vitamins preserves the char acteristics Of youth. Entities iii the vitanlin B complex, particularly yitanin G (otherwise called vitaflin B2, ribofiaVln) are essential for the health of gkir, hair and nails. Daily consumption of c quart of fresh milk is c good way to provide vita. min C. Another good way, # you do not drink much milk, is to sup- plement your diet with tablets or capsules of vitamin B complex.
 Insufficient intake of vitamin 4 may be accountable for abnormaliy dry skin with Q condition regeni. bling chronic "goose-pimpies" or acne papules (pimples without ten. dency to p,istulatiotl) and Q greater. like feel, some scaiinesS, 6 condi. ton sometimes called toad skin" (pfrynoderma). To test whether such 6 cndition of the skin Is due to insufficient vitamin A the best plan is simply to take an optimal daily ration of natural (not syn- thetic) carotene vitamira 4 as e sup- pliment to the regular diet, say one capsule (26,000 units) of nat- pural Vitamin A after food three times daily for not less than 6 month. If this does not cause defi. nite improvement 1t is fair to as- suine the trouble is not due to any deficiency of vitamin A. If 1t does bring about improvement, then 1t would be wise to continue taking one such capsule daily for several months thereafter.
 Massive doses of vitamin D (l00,. GOO units daily) may bring prolonged remission or cure in some cases of psoriasis (the silvery scale dis easel, and ordinary daily doses of vitamin D in combination with cal. cium gluconate and dicalcium pilos- phate will frequently relieve or clear up obstinate chronic eczema .(Send Q stamped envelope bearing your address, for free monograph "The Hilvery Scale Disease" or one on ''EczemaD. In this way vitamin D might be regarded as beneficial to the complexion, but only when 1t happens to relieve or cure the par. ticular skin trouble.
 This, as far as I know, Is all that can be said of the cosmetic value of vitamins.
