My face is very oily. Astringents don’t seem to work. — Pooja
Wash your face and wipe it with an astringent lotion. Mix multani mitti with rose water and lemon juice into a paste and apply it daily on your face. Wash it off after it dries. Apply pressed powder (powder compact) before going out.. Mix witch hazel with rose water in equal quantities and keep it in a bottle. This mixture has an astringent effect.
How can I camouflage grey hair without using a hair dye? — Fatima
Henna is the only natural hair colorant. Add amla to henna powder. However, henna turns white hair reddish brown. It will not colour dark hair. Soak a handful of dry amla in about 2 to 3 cups of water overnight. The next morning, strain the water, and grind the amla. Add it to the henna powder, 4 tsp each of lemon juice and coffee, 2 raw eggs, 2 tsp of oil and enough amla water, and make a thick paste. Allow the paste to stand for two to three hours, and apply it on the hair. Keep it on for at two to three hours and then wash if off. If you do not have too much grey hair, then herbal hair mascara can be used. Herbal hair mascara is like a crayon and can be used to streak the hair. The effect lasts till the next shampoo.
