| I follow some basic rules in order to keep myself healthy. I drink lots of water regularly. I work out daily too. I am a foodie but I make sure I have a balanced diet that includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. I usually go easy on dinner. I often have to wear make-up for my shows on television. Whenever that happens I make sure I take off the make-up using coconut oil before I go to bed, no matter how tired I am. |
I am a 16-year-old girl. I have many moles on my face. Is there any natural way to get rid of them? Also, could you please suggest a simple cleansing method for the face? I have oily skin and I use baby soap regularly.

The best way to get rid of moles is either through homeopathic treatment or with the help of laser therapy. Never use soap on your face — soaps are meant for bathing. As for cleansing the skin, try this: mix 3 tbs Fuller’s earth, a pinch of camphor and rose water. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator upto a week and use as a face wash. It works wonders.

First of all, try and find out why these pimples are making a sudden appearance. Drink plenty of water, be sensible and eat healthy. Have lots of salads, fruits and green vegetables. Also, apply a mask of sandalwood mixed with a little milk to take care of your skin. Wash off when dry.

Increase your water intake, always use a sunscreen when going out. Get a haemoglobin test done to check for any internal weakness. Make sure you get a minimum of eight hours sleep. Apply a few drops of almond oil to the affected areas and keep for 30 minutes. Dab with milk pads and wash off.
