Neha Sharma asks:
Hi angels,
I have a query related to my mother. She is in her late 40s. She has dry skin(very dry) which becomes worse during winters. She does not follow any CTM routine but she uses Pond’s age miracle day cream and applies a mixture of glycerin and lemon juice every night. So, I want to know which products or home remedy should be used to make her skin soft and which products (available in India and not very expensive) or home remedy will suit her for CTM. Thanks in advance.

Hi Neha,
Serums do a lot of good for dry skin. You mom could also use night creams high in vitamin E and with hydrating properties that could aid in cell renewal process.
Thanx alot di. . . . I want to say sumthng. . .di I love readng ur spcl comments. . . .spcly dat Kamariya wala. . .hehe. . .
hi neha! first of all i would suggest your mum to skip that lemon in glycerin, it would only make her skin drier! add rose water to glycerin instead. also, adding a capsule of vit e to Nivea original creme and applying works wonders for dry skin. it helps cure pigmentation marks too! tried and tested 🙂
Can u tell me in wht proportn should I mix rose water. . .and I heard tht nivea original cream is bit greasy. .is it so? If yes,thn mum wont use:(. . .and 4m whr I cn get vit e capsule. . N lastly I want to say sumthng . . .I just love ur articles . .u r vry creative. . .:)
Can i add vit e capsules in d mixture of glycerine and rose water?
Hey neha tell ur mom to drink loads of water, avoid soap on face and to apply malai and honey. Ths wl be helpful.
Maa drinks plenty amt of water n ryt nw c is using clean n clear face wash. .
Rose water wl b good for her as a toner.
Evn i hv dry skin n dove facewashes r quite nice.
Or as a home remedy she can use besan, a pinch of turmeric and milk cream. It wl clean her face, impart a natural glow wthout making it dry. N olive or coconut oil massage at night wl be beneficial.
I hope that i helped u..
Thanx. . Vl try it 4 sure
Olay total effects is very good for dry and ageing skin. and its not at all greasy
Neha, a paste of besan with a pinch of turmeric and fresh malai works wonders but also many people are allergic to besan. Your mom can make a mixture of glycerin, lemon juice and rose water and apply it on the face for a 10-15 mins and wash it off. But being a Konkani, we have always relied on the goodness of coconut. Coconut oil is very good for dry skin and it gives a wonderful glow. But of late, I have been using Parachute Advansed Body lotion. It has coconut extracts and smells good. It’s good for dry and patchy skin. Get your mom a bottle of it.
