Frequently asked questions answered by the Beauty Icon
Q1. I sweat a lot. Please give me home remedies for body odour.
Use Colognes. They are lighter and leave a light lingering fragrance. They can also be added to bath water. Bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) helps to prevent body odour. Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply under the arms. Leave on for ten minutes and wash off with water. Or, mix a little baking soda with your talcum powder and apply under the arms, or on the feet. Rose water can always be added generously to bath water. For excessive perspiration Ayurveda gives some dietary suggestions. Sip “nimbu paani.” Sip ginger tea before and after your meals. Chop fresh ginger root finely and mix with a pinch of salt. Chew a little of this before your meal. Sipping warm water with your meal may also help. Light diet and less spices are advised. Eat smaller meals.
Q2. I have acne marks. Tell me a skin care routine for clear and glowing skin.
Mix rice powder with curd and pinch of turmeric. Use as a facial scrub once or twice a week. Apply on the face and rub gently on the skin with tiny circular movements, especially on the marks. Leave on for a few minutes and then wash off with water. Do not apply on pimples, acne or rash. Mix honey and lemon juice in equal quantities and apply daily on the face. Wash off after 15 minutes with plain water. Twice 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.
Q3. Can I wash my hair daily? What to do for hair growth?
You can apply oil once a week at night and wash hair the next morning. If your hair and scalp are oily, avoid oil. You can wash hair daily, but use very little shampoo. Only one application of shampoo is enough. Ask your doctor to prescribe Vitamin B-Complex and Vitamin C. Hair loss can occur due to oily scalp, dandruff, nutritional deficiencies, stress, etc. Apply non-oily herbal hair tonic on the scalp daily, using cotton wool and leave on. Avoid head massage. Diet is very important. Have a small bowl of sprouts daily and include fresh fruits, salads, leafy green vegetables, curd, in your diet.
