Frequently asked questions answered by the Beauty Icon
Q1. I have warts on my face and neck. How to remove and prevent them?
Warts are small, hard, uneven, raised growths, with a rough surface. Some warts are caused by a virus and spread fast and easily. Avoid picking with nails. Go to a dermatologist, or go for homeopathic treatment. As far as home remedies are concerned, it is said that applying vinegar on the warts daily causes them to finally fall out. Apply it only on the wart, using cotton wool.
Q2. My hair is frizzy. What should I do? I want my hair to stay set.
After shampoo, use less quantity of a leave-on conditioner or hair serum, massaging it lightly into the hair. Or, you can also mix some water with creamy hair conditioner and put it in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on the hair. Then comb the hair, so that it spreads through the hair. Wash the hair with cool water. After shampoo, wrap a towel around the head and let it soak up water. Avoid rubbing.
Q3. My face is losing its glow and becoming dull. Kindly suggest remedies.
Tone the skin daily with chilled rose water, using cotton wool pads. Wipe and stroke the skin with them. Then, pat briskly with the rosewater-soaked cotton wool pads. Mix half a cup of ripe papaya pulp with 2 teaspoons ground almonds and one teaspoon yogurt. It should be a thick paste that does not drip. Apply it on the face, avoiding the lips and area around eyes. Wash it off after 20 to 30 minutes.
Q4. Please suggest home remedies to get rid of head lice and nits.
Apply apple cider vinegar on the hair and scalp. After an hour, comb with a fine lice comb and get the nits (eggs) taken out by hand. Vinegar loosens the nits and they are easier to remove. Then wash the hair with a mild herbal shampoo. After shampoo, add two tablespoons of vinegar to a mug of water and use as a last rinse. Then comb again with the lice comb. Do this daily for one week. Have weekly henna treatments. Add 4 teaspoons each of lemon juice and coffee, 2 raw eggs, one teaspoon methi seed powder and enough “tea water” to the henna powder, mixing it into a thick paste. If the hair is dry, add two teaspoons of oil. Apply the henna on the hair and wash off after an hour.
