Ask Shahnaz
Can you suggest ways to decrease my bustline and make it appear smaller? I am otherwise quite slim.
— Shobha
The breasts themselves do not contain muscles. They are supported by the shoulder muscles. So, you have to exercise them. Join the palms together at waist level, with elbows out. Press the palms together for a count of ten. Now bring the palms up to bust level and repeat the same exercise. Relax and repeat 10 times.
For the second exercise, stand with feet slightly apart. Stretch the arms out to the sides and rotate them, making wide circles, first clockwise, then anti-clockwise. While doing this, the shoulders should move too. If you wear dark colours, the bustline will appear smaller. Avoid wearing horizontal stripes, puffed or wide sleeves, wide collars and frills. Instead, vertical stripes and V-necklines help "tone down" the bustline.
I am 14 and have small warts on the sides of my forehead. How can I get rid of them? Also suggest a remedy for pimples.
— Anu
You can try homeopathic treatment for warts. For pimples, wash your face only twice a day with a medicated soap. Apply curd on the face daily and wash it off after 20 minutes. Apply sandalwood paste on the pimples and leave it on for an hour or two.
I am a girl aged 18. My face is fresh soon after a wash but looks lifeless after some time. What kind of cream can be applied to make it remain fresh? Also my skin gets tanned despite the use of sunscreen. Please suggest a remedy sans milk or milk products to lighten the skin.
— Prathiksha
Mix three teaspoons of oatmeal with one teaspoon each of honey, curd and egg white or rose water. Apply it twice a week and wash it off after 20 to 30 minutes. Once daily, follow the lemon juice and honey treatment.
One part of honey should be mixed with two parts of lemon juice and applied. Wash it off after 20 minutes. It will benefit the skin and lighten the complexion. A sunscreen may not prevent tanning. It basically provides protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays of the sun. It can help prevent problems like pigmented patches, which are triggered by sun-exposure.
After my baby was born in July 2005, I put on weight, especially on my hands and around my abdomen and waist. I am doing exercises, but the upper arm looks the same. Please suggest some exercises.
— Prashanthi
Learn yoga. Or, try this spot reducing exercise for the arms. Stand with feet slightly apart. Stretch the arms out to the sides, with palms facing upwards. Rotate the arms in small circles, clockwise and then anti-clockwise. Do this 10 times each and increase gradually.
