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.
^ This isn’t my thread 
Anyone and everyone is welcome to help!

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!
MD Forte is great combined with the glycolic cleanser.. I suggest you stick to this regime for a while before you change anything.
For oily skin the best mask is multani mitti and rosewater or neem paste.
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
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…
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
