Frequently asked questions answered by the Beauty Icon
My 15-year-old son has a dandruff problem and bad body odor in armpits. What is your advice?
Your son should apply herbal hair tonic daily, using cotton wool and leave it on. He should shampoo at least three times a week with a mild herbal shampoo, rinsing well with water. Half an hour before shampoo, apply two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, massaging it lightly into the scalp. Once a week, heat olive oil and apply on the scalp, using cotton wool and rubbing gently to dislodge the flakes. Leave it overnight. Next morning, apply the vinegar, as advised. For body odour, he should take two showers a day and scrub with a loofah. Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply under the arms. Lemon juice may be added. Add 2 drops of Tea Tree Oil to two tablespoons of water or rose water. Apply under the arms with cotton wool. Include fresh fruits, raw salads, sprouts and yogurt in the diet. Drink plenty of water. Add the juice of a lemon to a glass of water and have it first thing in the morning.
My mother uses a day cream to avoid wrinkles. What else can she do?
Lack of moisture can also lead to tiny wrinkles. She should also use a moisturiser during the day and under make-up. Also, use sunscreen before going out in the sun. At night, after cleansing, she should massage the face with a nourishing cream and a few drops of water. Use upward and outward strokes. Wipe off with moist cotton wool. As a home remedy, she can mix ingredients like oats, honey, yogurt, egg white to make a mask. Apply on face, avoiding the area around the eyes. Wash off after 20 minutes. She can have weekly salon facials.
My upper lip is dark. Please suggest some solutions.
The skin of the lips is very thin and delicate. However, after washing the face, when the lips are wet, you can rub them gently with a soft towel. This helps to remove dead skin. Then apply cream of milk with a few drops of lemon juice and apply on the upper lip and leave on for an hour. At night, apply almond oil or almond cream on the upper lip and leave on. For make-up, apply a brown matte lipstick on the lower lips, so that the colour matches the upper lips. Then apply the colour of your choice on both lips.
