  4. Hi Anantika,

    Try using Cetaphil Cleansing lotion that is hypo-allergic and good for sensitive skin. You should use suncreens religiously so that the skin tanning and dullness doesn’t increase. For those little bumps, you can steam the face for 2-3 minutes every week and make sure that you scrub the face twice in a week. Even I had them and this helped me too when my skin was very sensitive a couple of years ago. Hope it helps you.

  5. My skin is very oily..i should try many of the home remedies to remove olis like multani mitti…turmeric ..aloe..honey…etc..i m also having acne on my face and black acne mark also…i am continuing medicine as prescribed by the doctor( allopathy)when i complete my total course of medicine it was effective but after few days again this problems has ben star.plz tell me how to do it.

  6. I think you can continue doing the home remedies. It is because continuous usage of a remedy like multani mitti pack gives better results in long term.
    You can try applying some lemon juice on the marks when you go to sleep at night. This will lighten the marks.

  8. Hi Payal,

    Belt works well to make the waist look thinner. You can try print which are smaller and also patterns where the verticals trips are there.
    Another good way is to wear statement piece of jewellery to shift attention from the waist size.
