Here is a tip Nancy

“Use a fine-bladed paring knife to trim away just the colored part of the skin, leaving the bitter white part behind. Lay the strips skin-side down on a plate and let them dry at room temperature for 3-4 days, until they have shriveled and are no longer moist. Store the dried peel in a dark place, in a clean jar”

thanx :k:

hahaha^^

I have serious scarring (ok 3 scars) On my face that are reminants of my not so amazing days. I have a good complexion otherwise but it just gets ruined with these mosquito bite type things I don’t ever ever ever wear foundation/concealer and would love it if you the amazing ladies of GS could gimie some stuff to get rid of these scars. My sisters (mashallah) have radiant skin and im getting a inferiority complex.

moi.

I wear olive oil everyday - and as an exfoliant I do this: Olive oil, salt and rose water/teeny drop of lemon. Its relaly good. For a mask I go the besan way.

But these fraggling scars!

Doesn;t the salt like cut thru ur skin hiccy? I have heard that maderma works quite well for getting rid of scars.

Re: Natural Skin exfoliant

maderma? What is that?

And no - the salt is offset by the oilive oil you see, and the lemon water is optional for those with slightly greasy skin - i have more of a problem with dry skin - but the olive oil has made it disappear near to completely.

The rose water tonic stings slightly though.

You should try sugar in place of salt.. i heard it works wonders…btw. safi really works if you stick to it for like two or more weeks…

Kitchen grocery on the face? eww :s

ok, from Dada Abbaa’s Hakeem ki Dukaan,

Try these

• First of all drink water a lot…

• Secondly keep wet tissue with and wipe oil on the face iff…

• Use any moisturizing skin lotion, like I use Jergins(sp?) with Vitamin E

• Use Vitamin-E Capsules regularly and u will see the quick result both in skin and hairs…

I stopped using Safi bcos i read that it has a lot of harmful ingredients (mercury i think?)…so i decided it wasn’t worth getting poisoned slowly over
