i have black dots on my cheeks, nose n forehead. when i went to doctor on knowing that my granny n my mother also have these dots, he said its hereditary n gave medicines n said it may effect n may not. it didn't give any result.
in winter my mother used to use malai + honey + 2 drops of lemon juice on face to avoid dryness. she used it for about 4 months n the dots on her face have 95% gone. we didn't understand the reason.
today only i read few messages here n that black spot one to which you have written this as remedy n understood that these dots have gone due to application of malai + honey + 2 drops of lemon juice. thanks pearl.
i have a problem. plz can you tell me the method of knowing my skin type? sometimes i feel it oily n sometimes dry.
another problem is that i have very light eyebrows n eye lashes. is there any home remedy for this?
another question is that i have dark marks on elbows n knees would rubbing lemon help me?
sorry i have asked too many questions. but plz reply soon.
thanks

Hi tina

METHOD OF KNOWING THE SKIN TYPE:
When early in the morning you wake up, take some tissue papers n keep them on your forehead, nose, cheeks, chin. Place one tissue paper on one part n remove it n place another tissue paper on another.

If all the tissue papers become lil wet, then your skin is oily.

If all the tissue papers are dry, then your skin is dry.

If the tissue papers kept on your forehead, nose n chin are oily n others are dry, then your skin is combination type.

REMEDY FOR LIGHT EYEBROWS N EYE LASHES:

Apply castor oil to your eyebrows n eye lashes. Wash it with normal water after ½ an hour.

Do this daily for 3-5 months.
Don’t sleep after applying castor oil to your eye lashes as it may cause infection.


REMEDY FOR DARK MARKS ON ELBOWS N KNEES:

Rubbing lemon would definitely help. But you should have patience because for some people it takes on weeks n some months.

So do this daily n regularly.

Rub lemon piece on dark areas n wash it off with normal water after 15 minutes.
