Wash it off and you will see a clean, glowing skin in minutes.

Regards
Shaveta kaushal
Hi Shaveta ,
yes you can try rubbing honey and lemon on your skin . you will know only after using it for 3-4 days if it suits you . its hard for me to predict about the suitability . but dont over do it . as if you have a sensitive skin, it may become red and itchy . the best time to apply it is at night , rub it on your face , keep it for 5 -10 mins and then wash with plain water . you can apply any good company’s night cream . depending on your age . and wake up to a fresh skin the next day morning.
hi mam. I am 21 years old. I will be roaming in the sun all day as my work demands to. I lost my fairness enormously.My face is completely filled with tan.
I started to use face pack made up of besan flour,lemon drops,yogurt and turmeric powder.
By this face pack pimples on my face even got higher.
Does this face pack really help or should I use multani mitti.
I just wanted to get rid of pimples and get fairer skin as of my childhood.
Please help with any face wash or face pack or anything.
Hi Kalyan ,
face pack you mentioned is good. but everything does not suit every one . so if this pack is not suiting you , please stop using it . the type of face pack that is effective , largely depends on your skin type . if your skin is very oily , multani mitti will help you better . but if it is dry , you should try 1 piece bread slice with creame and turmeric.
Hello mam.
My skin is of mixed type,sometimes oily and sometimes dry. Whenever I wash my face and pat dry,it completely becomes drier and as time progress,oil develops on my skin.
I have stopped using above face pack.
Pimples on my face are rapidly increasing.
I heard that Himalayan products would give best results for fairer skin. Is that true?
If so,what combination should I use?
Hi Kalyan ,
you need to use a good moisturizer , which will avoid excess oiling . what is your age ? if your pimplles are your teen age related , then you need a more balanced outlook in terms of exercise and eating the right type of food , voiding excess oil and sugar in diet . if age is no reason , but pollution is causing all this , you need a proper washing routine of your face . yes himalaya products are good and may benefit . you can try and see if that suits you
Thanks for your advice mam.
Im 21.
Many products would be suggesting to use face wash followed by a cream,in Himalaya what is the best combination to get better results?
Does Himalaya kesar facewash and fairness cream help?
Hi Kalyan,
Basically its all about whats suits you and your skin type . I know himalaya products are good. but whether it suits you or no is difficult for me to predict . the kesar facewash is good.
Hlo mam
My skinxis dry and having wide and clogged pores, uneven skin tone, dark circles.please suggest me what to do and what not to do
Hi Ritu ,
clogged skin pores require a very good care. you need to follow a proper cleansing , scrubing and toning schedule. to keep your clean pores closed and keep them away from dirt and clogging, you will have to wash your face with cold water several times a day , or use a toner / wet tissue to wipe off the dirt when you are away from home for long .
multani mitti does not work very well for very dry skin . you need to apply bread , milk cream with turmeric pack and scrub it off the face every night before sleeping and use a good night cream.
Hello mam I m 21years old and meri neck Puri dark black Ho gyi h but child hood Mai neck fair thi but abhi bahut jyada black Ho gyi h plz plz plz suggest me the treatment to recover my neck fairer thnku mam …
Hi Sandarbh ,
You can apply orange peel pack . (take oranges and grind in a mixer , mix masoor dal in this mix and apply on neck , other dark areas , when it is half dry , scrub it on the skin surface and remove the pack ,then wash off )

Hi,i m 28years old…i m having oily skin nd blimishes ….will i use multani mitti regular…to make my skin clear nd blimishes free…..plz tell me ….remedy for blimishes
Hi Harpreet yes it should help . for blemishes , the best tip is to take half a lemon , remove the seed and apply honey on the surface. rub this lemon on your face . you might feel a little itcy, but if this trick suits you , your blemishes will soon disappear , and you would have a fair and glowing face.

Hi mam, can u please suggest me a facewash for oily skin and also good for pimples???
Hi Danial ,
You can use himalaya neem face wash , its really helpful .
Hi mam, i have question in above given treatments if some one is using two treatments at a time like pimple treatment and other is fairness pack so this will trouble him or not???
Hi Imran,
as long as these treatments dont contradict, it will help . for example if the pimple treatment is based for oily skin and helps in reducing the oil secretions , the fairness treatment should be complimentary to it , and not contradict it . for example , if you apply milk cream on face , it will contradict . so manage accordingly. and at the first visible sign of anything opposite to your expectation , please stop using it .
Hello Ma’m, I’m 21. In the morning if I touch my face both T-zone and C-zone seems oily. It’s basically shiny all the time. But I’ve small flakes starting from Nose to the cheek. Even it’s enough dry in winter that I can’t stay without using moisturizer otherwise my face feels stretched. I can’t use face packs made of multani mitti and rose water which dries my skin out. But my skin is acne prone, and they don’t stop. One cures then another comes out. I also have 3 whiteheads, 2 blackheads and several acne on my face. Can you please say what kind of skin type do I have?
Hi Swarna ,
I think you have a mixed skin type . its very common in your age to have the sis of both oily and dry skin at different zones of face . so dont worry . taking care can be a little difficult but its not impossible . the acne can be due to hormones too , so its not alwas the skin type to be blamed .

Hi Kirthi ,
you can apply multani mitti once a day . to reduce pimple marks use tomato or lemon and rub it on affected areas or even entire face. but first please check if it suits your skin type.

both helps , you can select what suits you most. it helps but its more effective with tomato / lemon
