Re: Skin Queries~

its a gr8 anti-oxidant so it is recommended both for oral n tropical use. prepare all ur meals in virgi olive oil. Wat-teen, waz- zaitoon ( olive n fig) only fruit Quran swears . so no doubt abt it.
other gr8 anti-aging oils r sweet almond oil, rose hip seed oil(cold pressed), argan oil, neeroli oil & castor oil.
however like anything else oil using need patience n conistency.
OK outta Gina's thread now :)

Thanks so much Mabrook. I have used HQ but am allergic to it now and also have been using retin A (not retinol A ). And yes I wear sunscreen spf 50 or greater almost all the time. I will ask my family doctor to refer me to another Derma. and will try to use the pills you suggested. So should I stop using this honey,lemon mixture then...??

Re: Skin Queries~

^Honestly mujhay honey lemon's effectiveness for melasama ka nahi pata. only Gina can tell. for me i think Melasma is more trickier to deal than other skin probs and the more u play with it the worse it can get but that's my opinion only.

Salaams Gina

I've been reading a lot of your posts here and in the Glowing Brides section...

I'm sure you've answered this somewhere but I haven't found it yet. Hopefull you can help me out still.

I don't have acne problems but my skin is pretty uneven. I have fair skin but my chin/mouth area is darker and its very noticeable (at least to me). I don't like to wear make up just for that. So is there anything natural/medicinal I can do? I wear sunblock everyday and recently had my skin checked and there is no sun damage. But the darkness never goes away.

I use MD Forte, glycolic cleanser and cream as well and a Vitamin C serum during the day.

Thanks!

Re: Skin Queries~

Can you tell me how to make a good mask using oatmeal powder? I have oily skin with acne.. Thankyou!

534

MD Forte is great combined with the glycolic cleanser.. I suggest you stick to this regime for a while before you change anything.

535

For oily skin the best mask is multani mitti and rosewater or neem paste.

536

well Gina i dont use ubtan... i used it once but i found ma face very itchy after that n wen i apply it it gives me very bad burning sensation... can u gimme some other recipe for ubtan plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. n ya one more thing which cleanser n toner should i use as i have oily n acne prone skin

537

It's cinnamon powder in ubtan that usually irritates sensitive skin. Any toners/cleansers with tea tree oil, neem, salicylic acid are great for oily skin.

Re: Skin Queries~

I wanted to know if its ok to go for a chemical peel with dry skin....and is it ok to peel in the summers?

I am sorry if its been asked before...

539

If you prep your skin beforehand it's safe alishaht :)

Your derm will be the best person to tell you what products to use prior to the peel. Peels in summers are safe.. as long as you use sun-protection (always)

Thanks Gina :)
