Frequently asked questions answered by the Beauty Icon
Q1. I have a flaky scalp. I use less shampoo, but the problem persists. Please help.
Apply non-oily herbal hair tonic on the scalp daily, using cotton wool and leave on. Twice a week, heat olive oil or til oil and apply on the scalp at night; Leave on overnight. Next morning, apply the juice of a lemon on the scalp 15 minutes before shampoo. Wash your hair with a mild herbal shampoo three times a week, using lessshampoo 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. Apply leave on conditioner or hair serum after shampoo.
Q2. Can I use conditioner and vinegar at the same time for my hair? Tell me the procedure?
Vinegar helps to restore the normal acid-alkaline balance of the scalp. Harsh shampoos, pollution, sun-exposure, etc., can disrupt the normal balances. Vinegar also helps to reduce dandruff. If your hair is dry, or if you have dandruff, you can apply apple cider vinegar on the scalp with cotton wool 15 minutes before shampoo. After shampoo, apply very little creamy conditioner only on the hair and not on the scalp. Leave on for 2 minutes and wash off with water.
Q3. I have oily skin, but my face gets dry after washing. What should I use?
Cream should not be used on oily skin, as it can lead to blackheads, pimples, acne or rash. Use a face wash or a pure glycerin soap and wash your face only twice a day. Mix one teaspoon of pure glycerin with 100 ml rose water. Keep in an airtight bottle in the fridge. Use a little of this lotion on your face after washing, to relieve dryness. It will suit your skin type. You can also apply aloe vera gel to relieve dryness.
Q7. I am 23 and have dark circles under my eyes. Please suggest a remedy.
Daily apply pure almond oil sparingly under 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. Mix cucumber juice and potato juice in equal quantities. Apply under eyes daily for 20 minutes. Wash off with plain water.
