Ask Shahnaz
I have dry skin and it's quite sensitive. I have been using honey mud pack. Is it suitable for my skin or would you suggest any other mask? I use a gentle face wash, and rose water for toning. I use a scrub and after washing it offI apply the mask. Finally, I apply gold moisturising cream. Should I make a change in the above weekly routine?— Sowmya
Actually, for dry skin, you need to follow a daily routine. Instead of a face wash, you should use a cleansing gel. Tone with rose water and then use a moisturiser or sunscreen. At night, after cleansing, apply a nourishing cream and massage it on the skin with a few drops of water. Wipe off with moist cotton wool. For your weekly routine, you need not use a scrub if you are using a mask, since your skin is sensitive. Otherwise, you can follow the routine.
What is cold wax treatment? How can waxing be done at home? Is it advisable to use epilators for removing body hair? — Srividya
Cold waxing is a method most people use at home. It can be bought at a store. Follow the directions on the label. The method followed is the same as hot waxing. Pre-coated cold waxing strips are also available. You apply the wax to the area, then stick strips of cloth and rub them in the direction of hair growth and then pull the strips off quickly in the opposite direction. With pre-coated strips, you can stick them and follow the same procedure. Epilators can be used for the arms and legs. The hair must be about one quarter to one third inch long for the epilator to work. Epilators should not be used on the face and sensitive areas of the body.
I got some black spots on my face following the use of Dettol after shaving. I also had a burning sensation after which I gave up Dettol. At present, I am using a homeopathic cream, but have not got good results. How can I get rid of the black spots? — S. Biswananthan
You should have diluted the antiseptic solution before applying it. However, you can try applying a little Vitamin E oil on the area. If the skin has healed, you can try a facial scrub. Mix a few drops of honey with lemon juice and apply it on the spots daily, washing it off after 20 minutes.
I have lots of unwanted hair on my face, especially above my lips. Please suggest a home remedy. — Sneha
Actually, home remedies do not help the problem of facial hair, unless the growth is fine and downy. The best thing would be to have threading or cold waxing done at a beauty parlour. You can also go in for laser therapy, which is said to be a permanent solution. You need to find a reputed clinic. Also find out how many sessions you may require. Meanwhile, try threading or waxing.
