Gina, what do you recommend to use for exfoliating the face
(from either natural nuska or store bought products)
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
Clinique 7 day scrub-off cream
Orange juice and brown sugar (I love!)
St. Ives apricot and walnut scrub (use the one for sensitive skin if u have sensitive skin)
Almond skin powder and powdered milk is great too
Hi there Gina, man, mashallah u seem to the expert here. I have a question for you.
Its regarding hubby. Hmm...well he has got 3/4 black botches on his facial skin. We have tried shop bought scrubs, the special plasters stuff but nothing has worked. He claims it was a spot before and thats how the black mark has appeared! Its under the skin and is visible. I keep thinking maybe i should grab a pin and pick it and new skin will cover it but maybe not!
Any ideas please? Thanks!
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Thanks Gina!
The one by Clinique and St Ives, arent those daily use scrubs? Should you exfoliate daily or only like 2-3 times a week?
Also, what are the quanities for the orange juice and brown sugar
Sunset Eyes, not much can be done about it if it's under the skin unfortunately, but u shud really have it checked out :) now, if it's over the skin dark patchy skin then red sandalwood, cinnamon powder, haldi and lemon juice work wonders!
Midnite use a scrub 3 times a week, after steaming u're face or during a warm shower (dont steam if u have large pores) after washing the scrub off, use an alcohol-free toner :) 2 tablespoons orange juice and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.

Gina how is tea tree oil for acne n scars? I hv heard it works.
N if its good shud we use it in pure form or diluted? How is the Body Shop tea tree oil i.e. 15% diluted?
Tea tree oil is great for existing acne and pimples.. and not for scars rosehip oil is used for treating acne scars :)
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Thx Gina.But pure or diluted tea tree oil?
The one u get at The Body Shop is perfect, u don't need to dilute it any furthur.. it's more effective when it's not diluted.. but start-off with the diluted version incase u're skin's senstive.

does threadin/plucking on face (sides, overlip, eyebrows, chin etc) make the skin "hangy"/loose?
Im sixteen, have combination skin type, nd if i do threading every 3,4 days, will my skin get loose soon? or does it take more time? thnx
U're threading too often for a 16yr old.. u shud be threading once every 2 weeks.. threading is safer than waxing/sugaring on u're face :)
Get u're hormones checked :) thyroid function
