1) For nails to grow healthy, follow a nourishing diet, and drink at least 10 to 12 glasses of water daily. Additionally, massage nails with warm olive oil mixed with a few drops of lemon juice, and leave overnight. Do this every day for best results. 2) Tomatoes lighten the skin; rub a slice of tomato on the forehead and leave overnight. 3) Take aloe vera gel and add a few drops tea tree oil; apply this on the chest every day and leave overnight. This will cool and calm the skin, and the pimples will disappear. 4) Add a sprinkle of baking soda to your toothpaste; this will help whiten the teeth. 5) Waxing is the best for bikini hair; or get laser treatment done by a good dermatologist.

Dark circles, underarms and kneecaps can be lightened with potato pulp: just rub some on affected areas and keep on for 15 minutes daily, till such time you get the desired results. For a full beard, apply castor oil and a few drops of rosemary oil to activate hair growth in the area. For your hair, apply coconut milk, and leave on for 30 minutes before rinsing off; this will help soften hair and add a silky texture to it. Do this regularly.
I am a 17-year-old girl. I have started getting dandruff on the back of my scalp. Please suggest a remedy that will not involve yoghurt or egg. I also have some scars on my face due to acne, and a tanned skin tone.
My sister is 14; she recently injured her knee and now there are dark patches on her knee; her elbows are also dark and she has acne and boils on her back and shoulder. Finally, my mother, 42, has old scars from chicken pox, and acne. I'd like a remedy for her too!

Dab a few drops of tea tree oil in hair partings; leave overnight and shampoo next day. Do this till your dandruff disappears. Tomato pulp will lighten scars and skin tone.
For your sister: take grated potato pulp, and apply on knees, elbows and dark patches. Do this regularly to lighten skin. Tea tree oil is the best treatment for acne and pimples; dab on affected areas and leave on for some time.
For your mum's chicken pox marks: mix rice powder with water, and apply the paste on skin; scrub off when dry. This will gradually smoothen out the marks.
