Firstly I would just like to thank the lovely Gina who is always encouraging us all to use waxing as a method of hair removal rather the depilatory creams. Thanks Gina!!!
I used to have a brazilian done from some women and then she moved away so I went back to creams as I never thought I could remove hair from down there myself using wax
However I thought I would give it a try as Gina said hair removal creams make the skin dark. I bought some Louis Marcel wax strips pack of 10 for £1.99!!!!!! I used to get a brazilian done for £12.50. And I have only used five of the strips
Anyway i did the waxing myself and I can honestly say it didn’t hurt half as much as I thought it would!!!!
Some tips for you girls
Do not wax one week before or during your periods as skin is more sensitive.
Some people take half a painkiller 15mins before waxing
Apply talc to the area to be treated
If using wax stips warm with Hairdryer lol this is a really good tip for turning cold wax into warm wax
When you pull the strip away to remove the hair do not look to the area – TRUST ME less painful.
If you do experience pain wax a small part then some more the next day and so on
If u're skin is in good condition then don't try anything new (facials) before the wedding.. just maintain u're skin thru proper cleansing/toning etc.*
My skin is not in good condition. And i really really want Ubtan but don't know what it is or where i can get it from PLEASE HELP!
There are no bleaches made for asian skin, it's actually according to skin-types. I suggest u begin with one meant for sensitive skin. I find Andrea pretty mild.
Ubtan is bought in powder form to which rosewater, orangejuice, cream is usually added and applied (massaged) all over the face and body which is later scrubbed-off.
Skausar, I have no idea what u're skin looks like so I really can't give u many remedies till I know the condition.
Usually 1/2 hour and for cellulite (it's difficult) but massage the area's regularly with warm olive oil to which 2 capsules of vitamin E have been added.

Ok here is a really dumb question! People keep asking what to do about uneven skin tone --what is uneven skin tone???? Does it include like if u have a blemish on ur face from a previous pimple?
Midnite, uneven skintone is skin that has more pigmentation on on various area's it cud be a scar left my acne or a patch that's about a size of a quarter. Most of the girls that posted queries, say that they have dark area's around their lips..and some mean pigmentation such as acne scarring.
I have prominent hair on my abdomen area and back etc... should i use bleach or jus leave it cz its natural and not to worry abt...
And i have a question is it ok to bleach ur chest..?
Syeda please browse this thread, i've posted it already =)
Umm just wanted to say here that a number of girls mailed me their pictures (skin problems) and I am disappointed to see that not many take care of their skin till the VERY last minute (wedding) I can't stress enuff how important it is to keep u're skin very clean! Use facewashes made for u're skin..
Another thing that girls aren't getting is that it's useless getting rid of acne scarring and not bothering about active acne! I am shocked to see what I was mailed! PLEASE treat u're active acne FIRST before u ask me remedies to lighten scars.
Keep u're fingers OFF of u're face!
Keep u're hair OFF u're face
Keep u're skin VERY clean
Cleanse properly
Use an astringent!
Use a deep cleansing mask once every 2 weeks!
I cud see that the girls had neglected their skin, it's oily..with blackheads/whiteheads and active acne as well.
Any remedies for uneveness on thighs and behind i am currently massaging bio oil to these areas.
Also i went to an asian supermarket in search of Ubtan one of the guys there told me we do usually have a tube of this but sold out - i know you have mentioned it comes in powder format i told him this and he said the tube is something used by women on their face is this the correct product?
yes cinnamon and honey lighten dark spots on the face indopak, however don't use it for dark-circles! For dark circles, buy vitamin E capsules and massage the oil under u're eyes everyday..
