Re: More home-remedies

Gina, generally is there nothing else that can be used to fade pigmentation/dark areas around mouth due to eczema other that multani mitti/sandalwood..?

Lil ash, yoghurt does wonders for acne prone skin and yes these remedies have been tried.

Syraa, yes lemon juice is safe to use around the eye-area.

HNK, you'd have to see a derm for that kind of pigmentation.

Gina: for the dark circle treatment, how often do u use this? I'm guessing a couple of times a week?

Atleast 2-3 times a week :wink:
