Garima asks:
I am an avid reader of your blog and quite obsessed with it (to an extent of checking it every hour or so) 🙂 I have a few questions. I am 22 years old and with a little pigmentation around mouth and forehead. I try to follow proper routine but still no apparent effect, so any suggestions ( about skin care, I have dry skin). I will be joining as an intern soon in Hyderabad, so want to know what makeup would be suitable (lipstick, blush, kohl) as a beginner?

I suggest visit a skin specialist before applying anything on recommendation. It could be some skin infection . AS my younger sister has thyroid she also has similar pigmentation around her nose and lips and with proper medication she ws fine in 2 weeks. 🙂 🙂 🙂 *haan ji*
Maybe you should use proper sunscreen more than 30 spf value. For existing dark patches I suggest use raw potato juice…just rub over the areas and let it be for 15mins and wash off with plain water.
Also try VLCC anti tan facepack or lacto tan clear.
For makeup, lakme eyeconic kajal or maybelline colossal kajal, blush-maybelline, lipstick you can try neutal shades or coral ones depending on your skin color. Lotus herbals and elle lipsticks are also good for a beginner.
Even I had d same problem. . As I was allergic to creams so none of the sunscreen helped me at last alovera gel wz d only option for me I use it at bed tym n vlcc anti tan facial pack hz helped me.. may b u too can giv a try.. bt ine is super oily skin..
If you have pigmentation, first always wear a sunscreen with a high SPF, don’t go out in the sun without any sunscreen, try using a homemade face pack daily made of gram flour, turmeric, raw milk and rose water. With daily usage, your skin will be much brighter. For kohl, try Maybelline or Lakme eyeconic, try light colored lipsticks as you are new to makeup and light pink blushes.
Around mouth area might be a sign of hormonal imbalance, better to consult a doctor first.
Forgot to mention, I too have dry skin and I’ve managed to make it soft and supple by following a good skin care routine, like moisturizing twice a day, cleansing with a cleanser meant for my skin type and scrubbing thrice a week.
hi arzoo..lately my skin has also become dry..but i am still getting pimples *headbang*. which moisturiser do u use? *thankyou*
to get rid of tan or pigmentation use a Face pack of besan lemon juice n curd. Its super effective. Coming to makeup stuffs, i Swear by Amway kohl, its stays on for pretty long time 🙂 🙂 maybelline cream blush and maybelline moisture extreme in buff shade, suitable for college or office wear 🙂
