Frequently asked questions answered by the Beauty Maven
· I have dry skin. What should I do?
Use mild glycerin soap or cleansing gel. Mix honey with a little milk and apply daily on the face. Wash it off with plain water after 15 minutes. Apply sunscreen before going out in the sun and keep the skin well moisturized during the day. At night, after cleansing, apply nourishing cream or pure almond oil and massage it on the face with a few drops of water. Wipe off with moist cotton wool, before bedtime.
· My hair is wavy. Please suggest a method for straight and silky hair.
You can apply a creamy conditioner after shampoo. It will help to make the hair smoother. You can use a hand-held dryer at home to straighten the hair. The effect will last till the next shampoo. After washing the hair, while the hair is still damp, divide it in sections. Hold the end of a section with a comb or brush. Holding it straight and slightly downwards, use the dryer to dry the hair. Repeat this with each section. Hold the dryer at least 6 inches away from the hair and skin. Please note that excessive use of the hair dryer can cause dryness of the hair.
· My daughter is 7 years old. Her hair is very dry and appears brownish. Please suggest remedies.
Inadequate protein in the diet can lead to brownish hair. After consulting your doctor, include eggs, milk and milk products (curds, paneer), dals, beans, sprouts, fresh fruits, leafy green vegetables. Add half teaspoon castor oil to one teaspoon pure coconut oil. Apply on her hair once a week. Wash hair after half an hour. .
· I had pimples on my face. They have reduced, but left dark spots. How to get rid of them?
Wash your face twice a day, morning and night with a medicated soap. Then wipe oily areas with an astringent lotion, using cotton wool. Or, mix rose water and lemon juice in equal quantities and apply on dark and oily areas of your skin. Use a facial scrub twice a week on the dark areas and spots. Once daily, at any time, mix one teaspoon each of honey and lemon juice and apply on the face. Wash it off with plain water after 15 minutes. Mix multani mitti with rose water and lemon juice into a paste and apply on the face two or three times a week. Wash it off when it dries. It will help marks and lighten the dark areas.
