Frequently asked questions answered by the Pioneer of the Beauty Industry
I have dandruff. Will henna help? I wash hair daily.
Wash your hair with a mild herbal shampoo three times a week, using lessshampoo and rinsing very well with water. After shampoo, add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to a mug of water and use as a last rinse. Once a week, heat coconut oil and apply on the scalp at night. Leave it overnight. Next morning, apply the juice of a lemon 15 minutes before shampoo. Weekly henna treatments will help. Add 4 teaspoons each of lemon juice and coffee, 2 raw eggs and enough “tea water” to the henna powder, mixing it into a thick paste. Make “Tea water” by boiling used tea leaves again in 6 cups of water. Cool and strain. Apply the henna on the hair and wash off after an hour. If you do not wish to use eggs, add more tea water.
I have pigmentation around my neck. Please give me some remedies.
Apply sesame seed (til) oil daily and massage it on the skin. Mix gram flour (besan), curd, lemon juice and a little turmeric (haldi) and apply at least three times a week. Wash it off after half an hour. Then apply til oil and massage it into the skin, as recommended.
My nails always break and I need a remedy. While removing nail polish, the nail gets damaged.
Wear rubber gloves for your washing chores. Massage cream on the hands and nails daily, especially after using detergents and soaps. Put a cupful of warm milk in a bowl. Soak your hands in it for five minutes to strengthen your nails. Include adequate protein and calcium in your diet. Dissolve one teaspoon of gelatin in a little boiling water. Cool the water and add it to fruit juice. Have this daily for ten days.
My skin is oily. What is astringent lotion? Where to get it?
Astringent lotion helps to reduce oiliness of the skin. It also helps to close the pores and tone oily skin. It will be available at a cosmetic store. Cucumber juice has an astringent effect. You can apply cucumber juice on the face and wash off after 15 minutes. For oily skin apply astringent lotion or rose skin tonic after washing the face. Mix multani mitti with rose water into a paste and apply on the face. Wash it off when it is dry.
