My daughter is 13 years old and her face looks very dull. Please suggest remedies.— Varsha
Beauty of the skin depends on internal good health. Also, she is entering her teens, when there is hormonal development, which can lead to oiliness of the skin. She should wash her face with soap or a face wash for oily skin. Apply chilled rose water with cotton wool after washing the face. Twice a week, she can use a facial scrub. It should be rubbed gently on the skin, and then washed with water. This will help to brighten the skin. Her diet should include fresh fruits, raw salads, yogurt, and fruit juices. Add the juice of a lemon and one teaspoon honey to a glass of water, and let her have it first thing in the morning.

Please tell me ways to reduce a double chin.— Geeta
A facial exercise may help. Open your mouth as wide as you can. Hold that position for approximately 10 seconds, then relax your mouth; repeat this a few more times. For faster results, place a ball under your chin while opening your mouth. Massage the area daily with nourishing cream or olive oil. Starting from the chin go downwards, using both hands and one hand following another. There should be slight pressure going down, but no pressure when bringing the hands again to the chin. Sleeping without a pillow is also said to help a double chin.

I am fat and my face looks round. My hair is straight near the root, but very curly otherwiseafter that. Please suggest a hairstyle.— Krithika
Long curly hair is best for round faces. However, for shorter hair, you can select a style that keeps the end of the hair near the jaw line, giving an impression of a longer face. The hair should go upwards, on top of the head, rather than too much at the sides. If you have long hair, use a conditioner or hair serum to make the hair look softer and smoother. Have a middle parting and avoid fringes. A few curls or wisps on the forehead may look nice. The hair should not add too much width at the sides.
