does one use it?
Asha Singh, Delhi
Aloe vera helps to reduce acne and blemishes on the
skin. It also soothes the skin, reduces tanning and
stretch marks on regular application. It conditions
hair and reduces itchiness in the scalp. The gel can be
directly extracted from the leaf of the plant by peeling
off the outer layer and used as is. Alternatively, you
can make a pack of aloe gel, olive oil and oatmeal.
Please suggest home remedies to get rid of unwanted
facial hair.
Rimi Ahluwalia, Mumbai
Unwanted facial hair occurs due to various causes
such as hormonal imbalance, use of few topical
medications like steroid creams, and heredity. Home
remedies that might reduce unwanted facial hair
temporarily are using chickpea fl our paste (chickpea
fl our + turmeric + milk), or a sugar and honey mask
(1 tbsp granulated sugar + 1 tsp honey + 1 tsp plain
fl our) twice a week on the areas with unwanted hair.
How do I banish yellow nail stains?
Nivedita Siyal, Baroda
It is diffi cult to get rid of yellow nails stains that are
left behind after removing nail paint. Use a base
coat before applying nail polish. Once the nails are
stained, one can try removing it by using a paste
made of baking soda, olive oil and lemon. Apply it on
Dr Bindu the nails for 5 minutes and rinse with warm water.
