Frequently asked questions answered by Shahnaz Husain
I have small pimple like things on my forehead and chin. The beautician said they are blackheads. How to get rid of them?
Pimple- like spots occur on oily skin or oily areas of the skin. After washing the face in the morning, wipe these areas with an astringent lotion, using cotton wool. In the morning after washing the face, make a paste of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) and water. Apply the paste on these areas and wash it off after 5 minutes. Apply sandalwood paste on these eruptions.
I have a problem of bad hair odour due to dandruff.
Wash the hair frequently, using less shampoo and rinsing well with water. You can also
add the juice of a lemon and half a cup of rose water to a mug of water and use as a last rinse after shampoo. Pour cologne on clean cloth. Wrap cloth around brush and brush hair with it. Removes oil and dirt and also adds fragrance. Henna treatments also remove odour.
My hair is very thin and I have dandruff. What should I do?
Wash your hair with a mild herbal shampoo three or four 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. After shampoo, add two tablespoons apple cider vinegar to a mug of water and use as a last rinse. Once a week, heat olive oil and apply on the scalp at night. Leave on overnight. Next morning, apply the vinegar as advised half an hour before shampoo. Apply non oily herbal hair tonic daily on the scalp at night, using cotton wool.
I heard that raw potato kept under the eyes will reduce dark circles. Will it work?
Mix cucumber juice and potato juice in equal quantities. Apply under eyes daily for 20 minutes. Wash off with water. Daily apply pure almond oil sparingly (very little quantity) around eyes and massage it lightly on the skin, using only the ring finger, for one minute under each eye. Massage in one direction only. Leave on for 15 minutes and wipe off gently with moist cotton wool. Before going out in the sun, apply a sunscreen lotion sparingly under the eyes. Add a drop of water to it before applying, to give a lighter coverage.
