Priyadarshani Jai Prakash replied. hi javaria,

im really sorry im late. but i typed a reply for your query the very day u sent me the message. when i had finished and about to post it, my damned computer concked off coz my dog stepped on the junction box and hence the lose connection and computer got switched off. i got very angry that i lost the content i had typed.

anywayz, javaria, for dark lips, rub gooseberries or beetroot on your lips. they will slowly turn pink because they nourish your skin. besides, apply oatmeal and honey paste on your lips every night before you go to sleep. let it stay till it dries, they rinse off. oatmeal will remove all the dead skin and honey will bleach. i also use a little fenugreek powder, but if accidentally the paste gets into your mouth, the taste can be just unbearable. but fenugreek heals and softens the skin. adding fenugreek powder is really very good.

for your skin that needs good glow, you must start from inside. that is to say with a good diet. eat fat free food. but if you do have to eat something fatty, cut down on the fat the next meal or next day completely. hen you have compensated. take 2 almonds after a glass of water and a glass of hot milk (preferable mixed with 2 teaspoons of honey) and then the almonds. do the same before bed. they will not only make your skin clear and glow, but also your hair shining and strong. scrub your face with an apricot scrub every alternative day. mix gram flour (besan), oatmeal, fenugreek powder, honey, lemon, tea leaves, rose water or crushed fresh rose petals and apricot and apply it on your face. let it stay for 1/2 hour and rinse off with warm water. you can do this every 3 days. its will remove excess oil and dead skin and once dead skin is gone, your face will naturally glow. do the process like this- wash your face, on the wet skin use a scrub, rinse off, then apply the paste. this will bring good results.

when you are out of home, wear a sunsreen. carry a soap, sunscreen and powder every day even to school. wash your face during every recess. apply powder very mildly. or if you dont want that, dab your face with rose water every time you wash your face. this will not only keep your face fresh, it will keep you completely fresh. when you are leaving from school, quickly apply sunscreen and leave. you have not told me if you have dry or oily or normal or combination skin. you can moisturize your face if its dry when you wash your face if its normal or dry. if you have oily face, then cleanse it with an astringent when yoy go out and come back home. this will hold oil secretion to an extent.

dark fingertips need to be shown to a medical practitioner. it could mean something else. so go meet a practitioner stat! and dont you worry about anything.

hope i have satisfied you.

all the very best and all my love,
priya.
