I love your advice Saniya, so i would like help from you or others that wanna help are welcomed as well. Well i want to make my skin fair by natural means ya know i have near fair skin but its not fair, when i was young n a baby i was very fair now im in my teenz and i have gotten tan. So do let me know any herbal internal and external remedies. Ohh my goshh yarr i dun wanna try any creams well anywayz most of emm arent available here in da u.s but my friend used the mixture of stillmanz + fair n lovely + archie + betnovate and she got gigantic amounts of pimples on her face yarr well her skin hasn't been the same ever since so i wanna opt for natural and herbal remedies. ohh yea my skin type is normal to dry and in the summer it gets a bit oily.

I was also wondering as to how much make up a teen in like highschool should wear on a daily basis normally i don't wear nething except for lip gloss and maybe some eyeliner sometimes so any suggestions on that as well should i wear face powder or foundation?

ok Saniya jee thanx in advance and Happy Late New Year lol =P fiza replied. Thanks alot for both of your advices, and i agree with both of u that its not a good idea to wear foundation since were so young i just wanted to know if i was making the right choice lol.
Thanks Sana
And Saniya yarr (dun mind if i call u yarr since were like in the same age group lol)
just want to tell you keep on giving the awesome advice that you do, i know therez alota haterz ono here so dont get disheartened by their rude and idiotic comment they probably have some strange complexes and take it out on people online whom they don't know.


Like you and Sana i also believe in natural and herbal tips because i have seen the really screwed up side effects of creams and chemicals on my friend. Well since you asked if my friend needs help she does, although shes not a member of this site she still comes here to look at the tips and stuff. So on behalf of her i am asking you how she can she make her skin less sensitive, after using that skin mixture her skin gets irritated very easily.

I have another question lol, my hand skin has gotten extremely dry and rough no matter how much lotion i use,(which is of amazing quality) nothing works on my hands. I think its beacuse of the extremely cold and windy weather here where i live. So how can i get rid of the rough dark patches of dryness that i have on my hands?

Thanks once again, Bye. :) bindu replied. Lemon juice lightens skin and also reduces pimples! You can put it on for as much time as you like but minimum 15 mins. i put it on and dont wash off until morning and it makes my skin refreshed.

bindu saniya replied. dear fiza,
first of all,NEVER use such things.i hope u learnt a lesson from ur friend and i hope her skin is ok now.if she needs help,do let me know,i would love to help her.
to get fair skin,first of all,stop using cosmetic products and start washing ur face with besan(gramflour)+milk+haldi(turmeric-just a pinch).when ur skin is dry,use more milk than besan and when it's oily,do the opposite.it's best to massage ur face with this for 10-15 minutes every morning when u wake up,evening,after u get back from school and night,before going to bed.
next,when u have dry skin,make a mask of malai+lemon juice+almond powder.use yogurt instead of malai when u have normal skin.apply this mask for 20 minutes daily and wash it off with lukewarm water.never use too hot or too cold water on ur skin.use this mask after sunset because sun exposure immediately after using lemon juice may cause harm to ur skin as lemon is a natural bleach.so,be careful.also,don't use other products and stick to natural remedies.u can also massage ur face with almond oil/coconut oil before going to bed only when u have really dry skin.be sure to check for allergic reactions by first using this stuff im suggesting on ur arm.if there is no allergic reaction,u can safely use it on ur face because some people r allergic to certain things.
when u have oily skin,instead of the mask i mentioned,use lemon juice+rose water+oats powder+yogurt.apply for 20 minutes daily and wash it off.once a month,u can also exfoliate ur skin IF IT IS OILY with a scrub made of lemon juice and sugar in the ratio 1:3..like if ur taking 1 teaspoon lemon juice,add 3 teaspoons sugar to it.scrub ur face very gently with this till the sugar melts.wash it off and apply yogurt to soothe ur skin for 10 minutes.wipe iff the yogurt and give a final rinse to ur face.
in the winters,when u have dry skin,u can use oats powder+milk once or twice a month to exfoliate.massage this well into ur skin for 15 minutes and wash it off.it will get rid of the dead skin.
ok coming to the internal tips,follow these:
1)in the morning on waking up,drink wam water+1 tbsp honey+juice of half a lemon.

2)drink half cup of mint water daily.i used to drink it and it not only cleared p my skin but also lightened it.even another friend of mine had sooo many pimples and nothing worked for her but once she started drinking mint water,she found it really effective.to make it,just boil some fresh mint leaves thoroughly in water.discard the leaves and store the water in the fridge.daily drink half cup of this water.

3)eat carrots,cucumbers,oranges,apples,tomatoes and citrus fruits daily.also,eat honey and yogurt daily.these will lighten ur skin.

4)drink 8-10 glasses of water everyday.

5)wear SUNBLOCK everyday.it's best to avoid the sun totally but since it's not always practical,try to remain as much covered up as possible in the sun and apply enough SUNBLOCK on the exposed parts.also,wear huge glasses and if possible,carry an umbrella to shield urself/wear a wide hat.even the sunlight entering ur house through windows is harmful so keep the curtains closed.

6)exercise regularly.it will bring a glow to ur skin.do wash ur face after sweating or else u might get pimples.

7)sleep at regular timings.go to bed early,before 12 am and wake up early too.u need to have a healthy lifestyle for a healthy body,mind and skin.

8)stay happy.depression,stress,etc cause dullness and other skin problems.so be optimistic and keep smiling!

i don't think u should wear makeup.i am personally against it because most makeup products cause allergic reactions and the ingredients harm the skin.also,ur skin MIGHT get dark due to makeup.but u can apply it on special occassions such as weddings,etc.kajal is good.infact,it's also good for the health of ur eyes.u can apply it and lipgloss is ok too.just make sure u use a good brand.but foundation,powder,concealer,blush,etc can harm ur skin especially cuz ur in ur teens(just like me:))and ur skin is delicat.wait till u get older,say,after 20.but still,makeup application should be kept minimum.don't forget to wash it thoroughly and never sleep with makeup on.

i hope all this helps.and yea,a happy late new year to u as well :P! bindu replied. That Question was only intended for saniya.
sana replied. Well if u want fair complexion thn do as saniya suggested internal and exrenal tips to other ppl on this board..
Eat vegetables and fruits alot..However fruits r more effective thn vegetables for skin..
Drink 8-10 glass of water daily
Drink orange juice daily.bcoz it cantains vitamin C and vitamin C makes u fair wheather u take internally or apply externally.
U can apply foundation occasionally but it is better that u don't use foundation daily as young ppl don't need to apply too much makeup on skin.Their skin looks great even without makeup.
and by the way y u want to apply foundation on ur skin
for fair complexion
orrrrrrrrr
for even tone?
bye
take care rajm replied. of skincare uses stillmanz + fair n lovely + archie + betnovate??
Jeez that is such a stupid concotion, i have to be rude, but was your friend on pot to try this out? Gigantic amount of acne is just the tip of the acne, no wonder doctors have a field trip with patient like that. Mixing everything together and using it like poisoning yourself.
