HI Saniya!
I have read ur remedies for fair skin . Mine is also the same problem. I am wheatish in complextion moreover my skin looks very dull. Never shines even after the facial.I have dark cicles too...But because of my good features and hair I look good with makeup(i.e. little powder, eyeliner and lipcstick).
But i want to look beautiful even without a makeup and need a glowing skin...
Secondly, which facial is better for good results. I have got a dry skin...I have tried Shahnaaz and Aroma facial but don't know why it doesn't show any effect on my skin....

saniya replied. dear khushi,
u r really lucky to have nice features.all u need now is perfect skin to look gorgeous.
i am really happy that u have provided me with details so that i may be able to help u in a better way.thanks for mentioning ur skin type.
here is a mask u can use daily for glowing skin:
mix malai(milk cream)+lemon juice+almond powder+haldi(just a pinch)+honey+rose water.apply on cleansed skin for 20-30 minutes and gently scrub it off using lukewarm water.before u apply this mask,do the following:
basically,u should wash ur face everyday with besan+haldi(just a pinch)+milk(in abundance).in the morning when u wake up and in the night,before going to bed,apply this and keep it on for 15 minutes or till it dries.then,wash it off.in the evening,before using the malai mask,apply this for 5-10 minutes and wash it off BEFORE it dries and then apply the mask.this is because the mask will dry and have a bit of tightening effect and ifu let the besan mixture dry too,then ur skin might get even drier.use the malai mask everyday in the evening because it contains lemon juice and u shouldn't expose urself to the sun after using it because it has bleaching effect and will ruin ur skin if u expose it to the sun after using it.
follow these tips daily:
1)in the morning,on waking up,drink a glass of warm water+1 tbsp honey+juice of half a lemon.

2)drink mint juice daily.to make it,boil some mint leaves thoroughly.discard the leaves and keep the water in the fridge.daily,drink 1 cup of this water.

3)it is said that drinking saffron with milk makes the skin fair.u can try and see if it works but it will take a lot of time.in warm milk,just add 3 strands of saffron and drink it before going to bed.

4)protect ur skin from the sun by using a good quality sunblock everyday.try to minimise sun exposure and keep urself as covered up as possible in the sun.

5)when u return from the sun,mix tomato juice with yogurt and apply on the exposed parts for 15 minutes.then,wash it off.always use normal temperature water for washing ur skin.

6)consume these everyday or atleast every week:
oranges/100%natural orange juice
apples
tomatoes
carrots
cucumbers
spinach

7)don't use any chemical products.just wash ur face with the besan mixtured using more milk than besan as i have mentioned already.if u have time,u can exfoliate ur skin thrice a week by using oats powder+almond powder+yogurt+sugar.just rub it gently on ur skin for 5 minutes and wash it off for squeaky clean sparkling skin.

8)for the dark circles.in a cup of milk,put cucumber slices and refrigerate.let it stay for around an hour.now,take 2 cotton balls and dip them in this mixture.keep on ur eyes and relax for 15 minutes.u can do this while u have the malai mask on.when the mask dries/after 15 minutes(if ur not using the mask),remove the cotton wool and rinse ur eyes with cold water.

9)watch tv from a distance and don't use the computer excessively.read under sufficient light and keep ur book 10cm away from u.most importantly,go to bed early and wake up early.then,drink the water,honey and lemon juice mixture and after half n hour,u can exercise for 15 minutes.then,take ur breakfast and get busy in ur normal work.

10)drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.

the reason y the facials don't work for u is that these facials r herbal and they do work a bit if done only 1 time.the results r not so noticeable.to get great results,u should repeat the facial every 15 days or every month.since these r herbal,they take a while to show results but r better than chemicals ones as these r totally free from side effects and provide long lasting and satisfactory results.
another thing is that u should always wash ur face after sweating and also never go to bed without removing makeup.the besan mixture will efficiently cleanse ur skin.be sure to use it after exercising/sweating and when u need to remove makeup.
remember,no pain,no gain.just keep working and be very patient.ur efforts will definitely bear fruit and i myself tried all this stuff and it worked for me.also,many other people on this board have derived benefit by following my advice.just be very patient and pray to God.above all,remember that external beauty can,in no way compete with internal beauty.a golden heart is the most beautiful thing ever and the purity of ur soul should radiate through ur appearance making u an attractive and eye pleasing person.a good character is very important if u want to be attractive and trust me..if u get that,people will love u for who u r and u won't feel the need of beautifying ur external self.keep smiling!
with best wishes n loadsa luv,
urs,
