Re: Skin Queries~

thats going to be a GREAT HELP Gina. Thanks. I read the chin exercise you suggested to someone. Can you please suggest some more facial exercises that I should do? Also, my sister has got facial hair grown due to intake of medicines having steriods. Can you suggest anything for that too? Her skin is dry.

Re: Skin Queries~

Also, what should be the routine to use egg white/ clay mask? alternate days?

Gina · July 28, 2009, 9:17pm

Milk powder mixed with honey and ground almonds is both nourishing as well as moisturizing anu. Try this mask once a week.

Rene, make a fist and place it underneath u're chin.. now open u're mouth and close it as tight as u can. Massage u're face frequently (upwards and outwards strokes only)

The egg white and honey mask can be applied 1-2 times a week. Is u're sister currently using the same medicines containing steroids?

Re: Skin Queries~

Thanks Gina :). She is 20 nd she is not using those steriods on regular level. Its whenever she needs to use the meds due to illness, she has to use those steriods. You have prescribed a method with besan somewhere for removal of facial hair, but my sister's skin is already dry. The besan will rather suck the remaining essential oil of the skin, wont it? Please suggest something quick and effective, thanks in advance.

Hair-growth due to steroids is usually thick and coarse.. i'm afraid there's no home-remedy to get rid of it. To retard furthru hairgrowth.. wet a small piece of 'alum' and after threading/waxing.. go over it with the wet piece of alum.

Re: Skin Queries~

Gina what is a good hydrating night cream for skin that breaks out easily yet is a bit dry and needs some hydration?

Re: Skin Queries~

Hello

I actually cannot find red sanalwood where i live anywhere!

Sooooo

To make my complexion even and glowling and get rid of pigmentation can you please suggest something that does not involve making a huge mess in the kitchen.

I have heard butter milk is good and i have heard tomatos are good.

Re: Skin Queries~

Alvena, instead of red sandalwood I bought just regular sandalwood. Is there any way you can get your hands on that? I asked Gina and she said regular does the job too.

Gina · July 31, 2009, 9:16pm

Vitamin E cream from The Body Shop would give u the results u're looking for.. and won't cause u're skin to be greasy.

Re: Skin Queries~
