Frequently asked questions answered by Shahnaz Husain
· My skin is sensitive to the sun. How to reduce dark spots naturally?
You should apply a sunscreen with high SPF before going out in the sun. Mix rice powder with curd and pinch of turmeric and use as a facial scrub once or twice a week. Apply on face and rub gently on the skin with tiny circular movements, especially on dark spots. Leave on for a few minutes and then wash off with water. Do not apply scrub on pimples. Once a week, apply face mask. Mix 3 teaspoons oatmeal with one teaspoon each of honey, curd and lemon juice, or egg white. Apply on the entire face, avoiding the lips and area around eyes. Wash it off after half an hour.
· Please give some make up tips for oily skin.
For oily skin, after cleansing, apply an astringent lotion. Wait for a few minutes and then apply water based foundation. Next, apply loose powder to set the foundation. Or, you can leave out foundation and apply only compact powder. The shade of foundation and compact powder should be as close to your skin colour as possible. Choose powder eye shadows and powder blushers. They suit oily skin more.
· I have a lot of dandruff. What should I do?
Wash your hair with a mild herbal shampoo three times a week, using less shampoo and rinsing very well with water. Half an hour before shampoo, apply two tablespoons apple cider vinegar on the scalp, massaging it lightly into the scalp. Once a week, heat olive oil and apply on the scalp at night. Leave on overnight and wash hair the next morning. Include fresh fruits, raw salads, sprouts and yoghurt in your daily diet. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water daily. Add the juice of a lemon to a glass of water and have it first thing in the morning.
· I get pimples on my face but when I use face wash my skin becomes dry. Please suggest some treatment so that my skin does not become dry.
You can use mild glycerin soap instead of the face wash. Mix one teaspoon each honey and lemon juice and apply on the face. Wash off after 15 minutes. Honey is a natural moisturizer. Or, mix one teaspoon pure glycerin with 100 ml rose water and keep in a bottle. Apply a little of this lotion daily. It will prevent dryness.
