Q Hi I am here to tell you a problem which I am facing for several years. I would be pleased if you recommend some good medication for it. I have a combination skin and lots of blackheads on my nose, due to which my face looks ugly. I have tried every scrub but these blackhead just won’t go. Please recommend me some good medication for it.

Shahnaz Answers: Blackheads occur on areas which are oily. So, you should use a cleanser for oily skins on the oily areas of your face. Make a mixture of Shagrain and Sharose and apply this on the nose. Rub this gently on the skin and wash off with water. This is a DAILY treatment for blackheads. For stubborn blackheads, you will need to visit a skin-care clinic to have them removed. Then follow the recommended treatment, so that blackheads do not form again. Make a face mask at home by mixing 2 teaspoons wheat or oat bran and one teaspoon each of gram flour (besan), yogurt, egg white and honey. Apply this on the entire face, like a mask. Wash it off with plenty of plain water. Use this mask 3 or 4 times a week.

Shahnaz Answers: First you need to take your doctor’s advice to follow some exercises to trim down the abdominal area. You can try the following exercises – first, lie on the floor on your back, with feet together and arms at the sides. Lift the legs about six inches above the ground and hold the position for a count of ten. Then lower the legs to the floor. Repeat this 3 to 4 times and increase gradually. For the second exercise, keep lying on the floor, the same way. Bend the knees and keep feet flat on the floor. Raise to the body to a half-sitting position, holding the arms stretched out before you. Lower body to the floor and repeat 3 or 4 times. Yoga would be excellent too.
Q: What can I use to make my hair longer.
Ev Chong
Shahnaz Answers: The rate of hair growth depends on hereditary factors. However, you can follow weekly oily treatments, using pure coconut or olive oil. Include sprouts and yogurt in your daily diet. Ask your doctor to prescribe vitamin and mineral supplements. Avoid the use of rubber bands, wire rollers, heating rods, wire hair brushes.
Q : Please give me some tips on oily makeup and dry makeup.
Yasmeen Shaikh
Shahnaz Answers: I presume you wish to know make-up for oily and dry skins. For oily skins, use water-based foundations. In fact, you can try using pansticks for oily skin. Water is required to be added to pansticks. In hot weather, leave out foundation if you skin is oily. Instead, apply a light powder and use powder blusher. The principle is to use powdery make-up for oily skin and creamy ones for dry skin. For dry skins, creamy foundations are better. For dry skins, apply a moisturiser before applying the foundation.
