A simple remedy would be to rub a slice of tomato all over your face every night after a face wash. Leave on overnight. Do this every day and you will notice a clear and light complexion. Always wear sunblock before stepping out. To soften your hair, massage coconut milk into it 20 minutes before you shampoo. After you shampoo and dry your hair, it will feel smooth and silky.

Dandruff generally leads to acne and pimples. Make a hair pack by adding 1 teaspoon yoghurt to 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel and 12 drops tea tree oil. Brush your hair, massage the pack into your scalp and also on the acne and pimples. Rinse after an hour. Do this every day. In a couple of weeks, you will see significant improvement.

I can't promise at what rate your hair will grow, but I'm happy to help you with the following remedy. Brush hair and steam it. Add drops of rosemary oil in each hair parting and follow with a gentle massage. Leave this on overnight and shampoo your hair the next day. Rosemary oil activates hair growth. You can do this treatment every alternate day. Also, ensure your diet is rich in nuts, green, leafy vegetables and fresh seasonal fruits. I'm sure you'll see great results in three months.
