Frequently asked questions answered by the pioneer of the Ayurvedic beauty movement
Suggest a facial, which will not only rejuvenate my skin but also remove excessive tanning.
Any treatments for the face should be according to skin type. Cleanse the skin first, using a cleansing gel for normal to dry skin, or a cleansing lotion for oily skin. Then use a facial scrub by rubbing it gently on the skin with circular movements, for deep pore cleansing. You can do this twice a week. Two or three times a week, apply a face mask. You can either buy a ready-to-use face mask, which is available nowadays, or you can mix 3 teaspoons of wheat bran (choker) with one teaspoon each of honey, curd and egg white. Mix into a paste and apply on the face, washing it off after 20 to 30 minutes.
I am a teenager who is very troubled by pimple or acne problems. By the way, what is the difference between pimples and acne? Please suggest remedies.
A pimple may occur as just one or two eruptions, while acne is a condition, which includes blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, pustules and cysts. In acne, the eruptions are clustered together in groups and take long to heal. When oil builds up in the pore, it can erupt into a pimple. In acne, bacteria are involved, leading to infection, inflammation and eruptions. Oily skins are prone to pimples and acne. You should wash your face with a medicated soap or cleanser only twice a day. A skin tonic with an astringent effect should be used to reduce oil. An anti-pimple lotion should be applied daily. As a home remedy, you can apply curd daily on the face and wash it off after 20 minutes. For an acne condition, use medicated cleanser and astringent lotion to wipe the skin and reduce oiliness. Medicated lotions are also available.
I am 40 years old. I feel that my facial skin is loose. I don’t want wrinkles. Please suggest how to tighten my skin.
Apply sunscreen before going out in the sun. At night, apply a nourishing cream and massage it on the skin for 2 to 3 minutes, wiping it off with a moist towel. Use a face pack twice a week. Ready-to-use facial packs are easily available nowadays. Or, mix 2 teaspoons of oats with one teaspoon each of ground almonds, honey, yogurt and rose water. You can add a whole egg white instead of rose water. You can also have a professional salon facial.
