smughul depends on u're texture, color and type of skin. Also the undertones..
Large Pores:
1) Mix almond meal with enough water to make a paste. Apply to pores for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water, then apply withch hazel or a solution of apple cider vinegar and water.
2) Mix table salt and buttermilk into a paste, apply on enlarged pores and massage well. Rinse with warm water.
3) Add lemon juice and a little milk to oatmeal. Apply the paste and remove after 20 minutes with water. Do not use if there are eruptions.
Sunburn ( I burnt my shoulders recently, hence these tips =( )
- Mix 2 teaspoon tomato juice and 4 tablespoon buttermilk and apply on the face. Leave for 1/2 hour, and wash off.
2.) Make a paste of barley and yoghurt and apply to the affected area's.

Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Gina....my friend is asking :
"I was just wondering if you tell me something specific for my situation.
The thing is that I have hair on my cheeks also.. therefore I pluck them hairs but then after a week of plucking I get small spots with yellow stuff inside them and a few of them.. And then I get some spots on my forehead too ever so often..."
can you help her? :)
Syeda thank you so much! Please keep my mother in u're prayers she remains unwell.
Malaikah, u're friend needs to get her hormones checked-out it cud be an imbalance. And due to her plucking them, the root cud have been infected. For now she shud make a paste out of neem and mint leaves and leave the paste on for atleast 1/2 hour.
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Gina, i only wax half legs and full arms... and ofcourse the other required area's..
but as getting married, wanted to know, what do grls do in my situation??
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Please do NOT use removal creams, in the long run, the area turns black and then you can't do anything about it. If waxing is such a problem or painful, then shave but restrain from creams.
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
shay, i've gone through that (using creams)..... anything i can do now..?
but shaving becomes so irritating within 2 days..
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Nair is good no?
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
None of the creams are good, take my word for it. I can't help but feel sad now :( I know shaving is irritating but if you use a good shea butter moisturizer, it's really good.
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
shaving cream during shaving necessary, follow up with moisturizer...
been shaving for god knows how many years now....
(for me, waxing gives more in-grown hair, uneven growth, and bumps-- even when done professionally--)
i hate the hair removal creams. they smell like rotten eggs and are so bad for your skin!
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
what about the hair on all ovr the body, do girls wax,bleach or what..?or just leave them as they are And they'r not prominent at all..
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~

Is it not best to thread chin hair rather then wax i have a few dark hairs there
Like shay said PLEASE stay away from depilatory creams (be it any brand) and the 7 mixture cream that supposedly makes u "gora"! Try waxing if u can tlerate the pain and can do it urself, otherwise shave.. and i've mentioned before that underarms, u're behind and private area's are actually the most neglected area's they too need moisturizing!
For dark elbows etc.. lemon juice and milk powder paste is the best! Make a paste and leave it on for as long as u can.
For hair on the chin. yes threading is the best.
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.
Thanks Gine~ for dark elbows n knees tips, will try this one too,:)
Can i also follow this procedure for loosing weight?? if yes then how many days a week or month??, low long shud one continue using it??
Gina
