Frequently asked questions answered by the, pioneer of the Ayurvedic beauty movement
I am 45 years old. My eyes are puffy when I wake up in the morning.
First consult a doctor to ensure that there is no medical problem. Ask for dietary advice too. Do not leave make-up or cream on around eyes at night, when you sleep. It can lead to puffiness around eyes. If you apply cream around eyes, wipe off with moist cotton wool after 15 minutes. You can try some simple home remedies for puffiness. Apply a compress of iced water directly over closed lids and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Grated potatoes or potato juice, applied around the eyes also helps to reduce puffiness. So do tea bags. Steep them in hot water, allow to cool and use them as eye pads.
I have very oily skin and pimples. What is the solution?
Wash the face twice a day with medicated soap. Then apply an astringent lotion. Mix cinnamon powder with a little lemon juice and a few drops of honey. It should be a sticky paste. Apply only on the pimples and leave on for a few hours, or even overnight. Mix multani mitti (Fullers Earth) with rose water into a paste and apply two or three times a week. Wash it off when it dries.
I can’t go to beauty parlours. Can you tell me how to do a facial at home? I have normal to dry skin.
Have a facial once a week. To protect the hair, take a head band or scarf, place it above the forehead, along the hairline, and tie it at the back, just above the neck. Start by cleansing the skin with a cleansing gel or cream. Apply on the face with a light massage and wipe off with moist cotton wool. Then apply a facial scrub. Rub the skin gently with it and wash the face again with plain water. Apply nourishing cream and massage it on the face with a few drops of cold water. Use outwards and slightly upward strokes. Use gentle strokes for the area around the eyes. After four minutes, wipe your skin with moist cotton wool. Then apply a face mask, avoiding the lips and area around eyes. Take cotton wool pads and soak them in chilled rosewater, for eye pads. While the mask dries, lie down and put the eye pads on the eyelids. After 30 minutes, wash off the mask.
