AE depends on how sensitive u're skin is.. some people can even tolerate sessions within 7 days..usually it's 10-12 days :)

Just remember no bleaching, no alcohol astringents and NO retin A 2 days before and 2 days after a session.

Re: Skin Queries~

I remember a couple of years ago, I used to use a mask of haldi and honey , I would apply it for about 10 minutes or so and then wash off and do this every night. I was thinking of trying the same thing now, would it be safe to do this every night and would you know of the benefits of this? I am wanting to maintain an overall healthy complexion, and try to sort out darker area around the mouth?

Thank you x

Cinnamon powder and honey is more effective for uneven skintone, however u may experience itching and redness as well.

G this is supposed to put only on uneven places rite? my whole mouth, upper lip to its sides to chin is yellow tinted and face is fair.

jalpari, rub tomato slices directly onto u're tanned area.

Mall, it's for uneven skintone.. what caused u're skin to turn to yellow patches?

mall · May 24, 2009, 11:53am

no G nothing serious... just like majority of desi girls, my mouth area is a bit yellowish, i mean its not patches, its yellowy as compared to rest of the face which is fair.. i hope u understood what i m sayin.. mostly desi girls this mouth area is slightly darker... same with me. pls suggest

Gina · May 24, 2009, 11:55am

U can try the cinnamon and honey mixture.. if that doesn't work, consult a derm and get a prescription for HQ gel..

mall · May 24, 2009, 11:59am

this is only for affected area rite? HQ is full name? is it safe?

Gina · May 24, 2009, 12:10pm

Just the affected area yes, u shouldn't get HQ without a prescription

U can't use HQ without a prescription :) see a derm.. please don't use any bleach creams they do more harm than good..and i've exhausted myself repeating the harms of such creams.

Hi Gina, you are doing a wonderful job around here.

Just wanted to know when should girls start using anti-ageing creams and which one would u recommend? plz specify

Thanks.

Gina · May 26, 2009, 10:46am

Thank you :) u shud begin using anti-aging/firming creams withh collagen after 30-35..

It depends entirely on u're skin-type.. u shud have it assessed for age spots, acne etc.
