No Pari, I don't know of any miracle creams that can make u fair and nor do I reccomend that u use any cream that claims to make u fair. Just maintain u're skin keep is clean and clear of any blemishes and treat scars if u have any.
Just a reminder to all the girls:
NO cream can make u fair
NO pill can make u thin.
I've given a couple of remedies for brittle nails in this thread and hair-care tips as well, please go thru and check for the ones that wud work for you.
Hi Gina
i just wantd to say a big thank you for all your hints and tips. have u thought about putting all these tips onto a facebook site?
i have combination skin which has got into a really bad state at the moment and i was feeling very low about it but I bought some of the fullers earth (multani mitti) and i've been using as a mask twice a week and i can really see a difference in my skin, it seems much clearer and even in texture now.
keep up the good work, you're tips are fabulous.
xxxxx
Thank yew so much brummie, glad the multani mitti worked for you! =)
For healthy hair mix 2 tablespoons powdered "methi" seeds to about 1/2 a cup of yoghurt and apply it to the roots and wash-off normally.
For all those that complained about discoloration extract the juice of a radish and mix it with 1 tablespoon of lime juice and apply to the area that needs to be lightened. Please don't ask me if u can apply it to all of u're fair to become fair! NO
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
where i can buy sandal here in chacigo . if anybody know plz tell me thnx
U shud be able to find them at any store selling herbs or any Indian store.
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Gina, can you pls suggest something herbal for premature greying of hairs and for white heads.
and yeah—Congrates for completing 1000 posts 
how will we get 'malai' cuz we dont have the same kind of milk, we do backhome. any other ways to get that? thanks
you can use whipping cream, and boiled some whole milk on low heath than wait for room tep and put in a frigde you will get some malai for ur face
I don't blv there's anything u can do to avoid pre-mature greying, I still shall ask though. For whiteheads u shud keep u're skin really clean and use a good quality astringent. Boil 1/2 cup of mint leaves and the juice of 2 lemons and boil it and let it steep for 1/2 hour. Cool this mixture and apply it to the area several times a day.
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
HI Gina, would appreciate some advice.
is a mixture of sandalwood, haldi and lemonjuice the best mix for dealing with acne scarring or is it the honey and cinnamon mask?
thanks
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Hi Gina...I have my mehndi ceremony on the 2nd of August...and theres only 3 weeks left (I think) and Im suddenly coming out with spots due to all the stress...Initially I wasnt taking care of my skin...now I am..Im exfoliating, cleansing and toning in the morning and at night....is there anything you can suggest for a quick remedy? These spots r not the typical ones, they are forming under my skin so stay 4 long...
I used multani mitti yday 2 and that cooled my face down a bit..I also dab my face with rose water everynight
Also, any tips on getting rid of blackheads? I have a lot on my nose especially
and anyway of losing weight in 3 weeks? lol
Your really gd..keep up the good work.

Brummie, the haldi/red sandalwood one is best for acne scars while the cinnamon & honey remedy is suitable for uneven skintone.
Tabu, consult u're local derm and check if u can take a short-course of antibiotics. They're the best to combat the stubborn under-the-skin pimples. Other than that keep u're skin clean but don't overdo it with anything alcohol based it strips u're skin of it's natural oils.
For home remedies:
Yoghurt & haldi, use it as a mask and remove while massaging in circular motions.
Egg-white and lemon juice, this will make u're skin firmer and give u a glow
Continue to use ubtan on u're face..
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Thanks Gina..I will be going to see my doc this Friday so hopefully he can help..
will the haldi and yoghurt make my face yellow?
I have bought ubtan but didnt use it as I heard it also makes ur face yellow..whats your take on it?
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Also..egg white and lemon...how much lemon to use with one egg?
Tabu just use about 1/2 a lemon along with the egg-white. The haldi will stain u're face yellow but it isn't perm! it will come off when u cleanse u're face or use a facewash! Do begin using the ubtan u'll see results if u're ubtan is good.
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
ok Thanks for your help Gina, its much appreciated.....do you know of any good home remedies to lose weight as you mentioned 'no pills can make you lose weight' :)
Well lemon juice and honey with warm water first thing in the morning helps.
And another one to try is:
2 tablespoons ajwain
2 tablespoons methi dana
2 tablespoons kalonji
2 tablespoons green tea
4-5 mint leaves
Boil the above with 5 cups of water and drink them thruout the day.
You can try the cabbage-soup diet.
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Hey thats quite good....the ajwain diet...is that all ur supposed 2 have during the day..or do u eat normal healthy food but drink that during the day too....
I just researched the cabbage diet..may try that...
hey gina can u tell me what cream i can use for undereye dark circles- ive been gettin my 7 hrs of sleep- its just i work alot and go to college- its realli hectic so i get realli tired thurout the day but i get my full sleep yet i still have dark circles- anything i can do to get rid of them ..
Tabu, u're supposed to have everything in moderation along with those 5 cups of herbal tea.
Sali, aren't easy to get rid of make sure u're diet is rich in iron and if need be take iron supplements. I've given several remedies for dark-circles and one is massaging Vitamin E oil under u're eyes every night.
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Where do you get vitamin E oil from and also where do you get red sandlewood from?
Also, does rose water expire after a while? I found a bottle in my back cupboard but who knows from when! Also, what is rose water good for?
Thanks
