Ask Shahnaz
My face is extremely dark compared to the rest of my body. There are pimple marks and blackheads near and on my nose. How do I make my skin fair again?
Radha
Once or twice a week, mix rice powder with rose water and apply it on the areas with blackheads and pimple marks. Do not apply it on the pimples. Rub it gently on the skin using circular movements. Leave it on for a few minutes before washing it off.
Twice a week, mix one teaspoon each of curd and honey, and 4 teaspoons of oatmeal and egg white. Apply it on the entire face and wash it off after 20 to 30 minutes. Mix the liquid ingredients gradually to get the right consistency. It should be a thick paste.
I am 38-years-old and have dark circles around my eyes. My sister and mother also have them. Is it hereditary?
Chitra
Yes, dark circles could be hereditary.
Apply pure almond oil sparingly around the eyes and massage it lightly on the skin for a minute under each eye using your ring finger. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then wipe it off gently with moist cotton wool. You can also mix cucumber juice and potato juice in equal quantities. Apply this under your eyes daily for 20 minutes. Wash it off with water. Get adequate sleep and ask your doctor to prescribe vitamin and mineral supplements.
After shaping my eyebrows, I get a rash, which goes away in a day or two.
Vasundhara
After shaping your eyebrows, take an ice cube in a clean napkin and apply it on the area, for a few seconds at a time. Then apply an astringent lotion. You can also apply ice this way before plucking your eyebrows. For the rash, apply sandalwood paste daily and keep it on for 15 minutes.
