How can I make my tanned skin fairer?
Use a facial scrub twice a week. You can mix rice powder with curd and a pinch of turmeric. Apply on the face and rub gently on the skin using small circular movements. Leave on for 5 minutes and then wash off with water. Mix one teaspoon each of honey and lemon juice and apply daily on the face, at any time. Wash off after 20 minutes.
I have oily skin. Pimples and dark spots are increasing. Please help me to get a clear skin.
Wash your face twice a day, morning and night with a medicated face wash. Then wipe with an astringent lotion, using cotton wool. Mix a little rose water with sandalwood paste and apply on the face. Wash off after 15 minutes. Mix cinnamon (dalchini) powder with a little lemon juice and a few drops of honey into a sticky paste. Apply only on the pimples daily and leave it on for one or two hours. Mix multani mitti with rose water and lemon juice into a paste and apply on the face two or three times a week. Wash it off when it dries. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water daily. Add the juice of a lemon to a glass of water and drink it first thing in the morning.
I am 18 and my grey hair is increasing day by day. Please suggest a remedy for my problem.
The exact causes of early greying are not known yet. The white hair will not become dark, except by hair colouring/dyeing. Amla is said to check greying. So, you can have the juice of one raw amla daily, after adding it to a glass of water. You can also add amla to henna powder. However, henna leaves a reddish brown colour on white hair, as you know. It will not colour dark hair. Soak a handful of dry amla in about 2 to 3 cups of water overnight. Next morning, strain the water, but do not throw the water away. Grind the amla. To the henna powder, add the ground amla, 4 teaspoons each of lemon juice and coffee, 2 raw eggs, 2 teaspoons oil and enough amla water, so that the henna mixes into a thick paste. Keep the paste for two to three hours and then apply. Wash off after two hours. Natural hair colours are also available.
