Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Hi Gina ,
First of all I would like to thank you for all your tips , they are really very usefull ..
I have got "milia' around my eyes like 2 small pimples/zits/spots under the skin . Do u have any home remedy for this .. Although they are not much visible still i would like to get rid of them .. please help ..
Saffron won't disolve completely.. but let it soak for half an hour and use it..the sandalwood should be made into a powder.
Iyla.. if u boil and steep methi seeds in coconut oil..and bottle it up for 2 weeks..and use the oil.. it'll help!
thank you gina.

Hi Gina!
What kind of Vitamins would you recommand for acne prone skin? I bought a multi-vitamin bottle. is there any particular vitamin that is good?
thanks!! :)
Multi-vits contain everything! :)
Dreamy, are they pimples..because the area around the eyes is really thin and u don't breakout close to u're eyes.
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Gina ,
Its actually not a pimple .. Its called " Milia " . If you search the images for this at google you would probably understand my problem . I have just got 2 very tiny like that below my eye brow.
Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks.. :)
kali zeeri u can get from any pinsari store if u live in pakistan... it`s like cumin but extremely bitter.
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
^I remember from alot of other beauty forums and dermatology appointments that there really isn't anything you can do about milia. it's fairly common and just have to wait it out.
But I guess you could just exfoliate more frequently than usual to speed up the process.
I just got to know three days back that I am getting married after this eid! My wedding was actually planned for after eid in december, but because of some issues in my fiance's workplace in Saudia, his leaves got cancelled, and he can only come after Eid ul fitr this month. So things are being arranged in such a rush, and my boss refuses to give me lots of leaves, so I'm gonna go to work till next week!!What I'm really concerned about is my skin and hair, since its Ramzan..and I have to go shopping daily..after coming back home from work..before and after iftaar..get back home late..and have to get to work early in the morning again. The routine is so exhausting, that I think I am losing my complexion, and instead of looking pretty, I'd end up looking horrendous on my big day...
I need help..tips that could fit my hectic routine...and tips that produce quick results..so that in the last 3-4 days when I'd finally get some rest..I could use them..

Stuff needs time to happen. they're not miracle tips. if they were they would require prescription.

Make sure you find time to sleep well! Try to get friends and relatives to help you so that once you get back home, you can rest. Keep hydrated ...drink lots of water, fresh juices and eat fruits and vegetables. Stay away from fried oily food.
Use ubtan every day and rose water. You can spray rose water on your face three-four times a day. Keep your face and arms/hands/feet clean and moisturized and dont forget to wear sunscreen.
Most of all, dont stress out..if you worry about not looking pretty, you wont help your skin/complexion. Get excited that the big day is near, pray to Allah and you'll look great. :)
gina, i think you are doing a fantastic job, keep it up girl! may Allah reward you for your good deeds - Ameen
im not a bride-to-be yet lol but i have taken a note of many of these recipes for whenever that time comes, so that i can look my best inshallah 
Inshallah.. thank you very much :)

yes milia kind of goes away on its own after a VERY LONG TIME like ine took two years to go away. i go to regular facials tho and i stopped using the eye cream that was causing it!
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
hey gina! jst wanted to know your views on glycolic acid peels??
and has anyone here tried them?
Depends on u're skin, they bring about great results. Feel like a mild bleach.. and all u have to do is wear sunblock.
Works well on light marks and acne..
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
Gina or anyone who has used these peels. Are they available in the market as in over the counter or one needs a doctor's prescription to get them?
Always get them done at a reputable clinic.. the glycolic washes (low in strength) are available over-the-counter though.
Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~
