Frequently asked questions answered by the Beauty Icon
Q1. Please tell me about skin toning in an easy way.
Skin toning can be done with a skin tonic or rose water. Skin tonics containing rose, lavender, mint, etc., are available. Keep a little rose water or skin tonic in a bowl in the fridge. This is very refreshing, especially in summer or in a humid climate. After cleansing, wipe the skin with it, using cotton wool pads. Then, stroke the skin from the cheek to the temples on either side. You can also pat the skin with the rose water soaked cotton wool pads. Grated apple can also be applied on the face like a mask. Mix a little curd or honey with it. It also helps to tone the skin.
Q2. What is the solution for dark circles around the eyes and how to remove puffiness and tiredness from eyes?
Dark circles can occur due to hereditary factors, nutritional deficiencies, stress, inadequate sleep, sun-sensitivity, etc. So, along with external care, check these aspects. Daily apply pure almond oil sparingly around the 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 10 minutes and wipe off gently with moist cotton wool. Do not leave oil, cream or make-up on overnight when you sleep. It can lead to puffiness. Mix cucumber juice and potato juice in equal quantities. Apply under eyes daily for 20 minutes. Wash off with water. It helps dark circles and puffiness. Soak cotton wool pads in chilled rose water and apply over closed eyes for 10 to 15 minutes. It’s a good idea to lie down and rest while you do this. It will reduce puffiness and fatigue.
Q3. Suggest some natural home-made moisturisers for dry skin with pimples.
Use a mild glycerin soap to wash the face. Mix one teaspoon of pure glycerin with 100 ml rose water. Keep in a bottle in the fridge. Using cotton wool, apply a little of this lotion after cleansing, or whenever the skin feels dry. Take two teaspoons curd, add a pinch of turmeric and apply it daily on the face. Wash it off with plenty of waterafter 10 minutes. This will relieve dryness and also help pimples. Apply sandalwood paste on the pimples. Or, mix cinnamon (dalchini) powder with a little lemon juice and a few drops of honey into a sticky paste. Apply only on the pimples daily and leave on for one hour.
