It's safe however don't put it around the eye area.. use a firming eye-cream instead.

im sure u all know water can do wonders.

i have been drinking 1.5 liter of water everyday and mashallah my skin is so clear, no blemishes, no pimples, no nutting. its so clear and brighter, i had a horrible tan, its getting rid of the tan as well. its been about a month ive been doing this and it works well. and ofcourse water is always good for your body.

Re: Skin Queries~

Hi Gina,i have certain doubts about ''ubtan'.Firstly the quantity u mentioned in the basic recipe
1 cup besan
1/4 cup milk powder
1/2 cup cinnamon
4tbsp wild turmeric
1/2 almond powder (1/2 cup i guess ?)

Then how to make almond powder with skin or without ? Should we soak inthe water and dry it out ?

Re: Skin Queries~

amorox · August 9, 2009, 12:26pm

by the way i think you should ask others too before applying...n read the instructions :)
and about vitamin E oil for dark circles ......... i am not sure but i guess i read it somewhere here :S

Gina · August 9, 2009, 1:24pm

That's 1/2 cup and u make almond powder along with the peels.

Gina · August 9, 2009, 1:25pm

Has u're derm prescribed any other medications? Where do u breakout forehead/cheeks?

Massaging almond oil or vitamin E oil under u're eyes will help get rid of dark circles. Include honey, green leafy veggie's in u're diet.. iron-rich food will also help.

Re: Skin Queries~

its nice to see you here by the way :)
and i breakout at my cheeks normally....and he didnt prescribe anything else... just this. i am kinda afraid of going to him because then he will change the medicine as always and my skin will breakout more den :P
anyhow i was just about to go and get my result so all of you please pray i do well :)

Gina · August 10, 2009, 11:52am

U shud go back and get a prescription for the acne.. working on fading the scars shud come after u've treated u're acne. :)

Good luck with the results!

Re: Skin Queries~

Hi Gina.. I just came back from the hillside and have gotten extremely tanned. There's a wedding in 4 days and i need a quick remedy to improve my complexion. I have normal to oily skin. Please recommend a good home remedy. Thankyou

Gina · August 16, 2009, 8:55pm

Tomato or papaya pulp works well.. mash and apply either one and leave it on for 15 mins..both are effective for fading tans.
