Hi everybody,
I am finding it very difficult to maintain my skin nature. The thing is... i get more pimpils on my face and when it heals off, it leaves black dots. And also my skin i very dry. Can anybody suggest me some face cream(preferably natural) or any food item so that my skin looks cool.

Thanks.

  u have dry skin and more pimples????
  
  anyway..in either conditions, the first thing u shud do is to avoid soap. Then try a glycerine based cream for any make up. avoid vanishing cream completely. do not sqeeze out pimples. take some steam for a few minutes...and apply a paste of besan and curd or milk on your face..leave it there for a few minutes and wash off with cool water. to remove make up, massage with little olive oil or coconut oil and then wash using besan or green gram flour. use a moisturizer always. for the dark dots, massage with a cut tomato.if available in your place use chanthik herbal powder..the method is given on the pack...

  Here is a tip to revive u for an evening function or party after a tiresome day - grind half a carrot to fine paste two pieces of cucumber keep the cucumbers on ur eyes and apply the carrot paste on ur face after removing the makeup if any..lie down and listen to the Beethoven's moonlight sonata (this is optional..u can choose ur fav song)..when the song is over, wash ur face...wear ur best dress...and mail me the next day how ur evening was....

  vow! Thanks a lot Cindy. The tips whatever u have given will be more helpful for me. Surely i will try and tell u about that.
  ya.... as u have asked, actually... my skin is an oily skin. Atpresent, we are staying in Minnesota. Due to the climate, my skin is becoming dry. But, eventhen i get more pimpils. And also i am very happy that, whatever u have suggested is of natural things.
  
  Have a nice day!!!

  mmm...Minnesota..dunno if u get these things over there...but when u come down u can make ur own herbal pack. take some turmeric (kastoori is best for skin, if not available buy the most available one), some neem leaves, tulsi, rose petals, orange skin and grind to paste...do not add water can use rose water instead...and then dry this paste on a sheet under sun. when dried make a fine paste out of it and keep in air tight containers.

  If you can find Calamine lotion, Works wonder for all skin problem. Pimples are cured without any mark. Its good for insect bite also. I buy Caladryl from India. Dry skin normally have pimples if you have Dandruff in your hair. If yes first cure that.

  Shampoo your hair 2-3 times a day!!!!??????????DO NOT DO THAT ANYMORE!!! and try the following:
  Massage your scalp with half a lemon thoroughly tie your hair with a towel rinsed with hot water after draining the water off..after 20 minutes wash your hair...and try some home made shampoo, Shika, greengram flour, fenugreek powder together or any of these alone..soak these the previous night and grind to paste and apply on the hair. Fenugreek is an excellent conditioner.

  Hi Roshi,
  i too have dandruff, i tried soaking fenugreek in little curd overnight , grind to fine paste and apply on hair and leave it for 20minutes, then wash ur hair. i did this few times and dandruff was gone. only thing i hate in this is the bathtub gets dirty sooner.
  So now i use warm gingelly oil or olive oil and massage in ur scalp and leave for an hr or so. then wash with nizoral or any other dandruff shampoo. try this a couple of times. if it still persists then ocnsult with a doctor.
  Kz

  Roshi,
  
  With just one wash dandruff may not go completely, but will give you some more tips on this..I am sure a happy Roshi will post a reply then :-)
  1. Is neem leaves available in your place?..make a paste of it along with some fenugreek seeds..apply on your hair and rinse off..do this once in a week...
  
  2. Every day before going to bed mix some camphor in two tablespoons of coconut oil and massage on to your hair and cover with a damp cloth.. in the morning massage with lime juice and then rinse off with luke warm water..
  
  3. Do not shampoo..instead use shika if available.
  
  This will surely remove dandruff from your hair within a month.

  Roshy,
  
  Two posts above...please read it as "apply on your scalp" instead of "apply on your hair."
  
  Thank you.
