A: Massage the hair with Coprale or olive oil twice a week. Then wash the hair with copra milk, amla, aritha shikakai. Do not forget to apply conditioner after washing hair. Make a paste by adding Shikakai powder, Amla powder and Aretha powder in proportionate amount of water. Apply this paste on the hair twice a month.

I am a 9 year old working girl. My skin is normally oily. My problem is that the skin has become pale. My beautician advised me to have a 'Vegetable Peel Mask'. I did it twice in two weeks but to no avail. Should I continue to have a 'Vegetable Peel Mask'? Will Facial Benefit? Also tell me what type of facial should be done.

A: Since my skin is oily, you should stop applying creams and moisturizers on the skin. Massage the skin with a teaspoon of honey.

Make a paste by mixing two teaspoons of dry orange peel powder, two teaspoons of sandalwood powder, two teaspoons of multa clay, two teaspoons of rice flour, 20 grams of mint powder, rose water and milk as required. Apply on face, neck. After drying, wet the cotton wool or cotton cloth with water and wipe it in a circular motion. Do it regularly at the beginning.

Then do it three to four times a week to give the skin a natural glow. Make it a habit to drink 10-15 glasses of water a day. Not only this, with the help of diet you can do great things.

A: Take an astringent with a clean cotton pad and wipe your face with it. Do this action repeatedly throughout the day. 100 ml Mix two teaspoons of camphor in rose water and keep it in a bottle in the refrigerator. This will help in wiping the face frequently during the day. Keeping the stomach clean. Don't let constipation happen. Drink 10-15 glasses of water.
