Health Tips: Have a Blemish-Free Complexion Youthful Skin

How to remove blemishes from after a derma abrasion therapy.

Use a good facewash and a sunscreen with SFP 30 or more regularly. Preferably every morning and if possible reapply it after 2 hours.

Before going to bed use a medicated skin lighting cream with 2% hydroquinone-available at your local medical shop. Use this only on the blemishes. However, if you feel any irritation, stop using it and consult a dermatologist.

Also try some home remedies. Apply a paste of cream(malai)and turmeric(haldi), 3 to 4 times a week. You can also make your own face pack with mashed fresh fruits and a little honey.

Best anti-aging products and skincare routine after suffering from SLE (lupus, having deep scars.

Maya, you need to use a good sunscreen regularly, preferably with SPF 50. Here are some more easy tips for your daily skincare that will benefit you greatly.

1. Use a facewash for dry and sensitive skin.

2. Avoid using scrubs.

3. A sunscreen should be fine during the day, but if your skin still feels dry, you could use a moisturiser with anti-oxidants and vitamins in addition to it. Try products from L'Oreal, Olay, Avon and Vichy-they are good options.

4. Use a night serum with AHA(alpha hydroxyl acids). It will serve as an anti-ageing cream and also help reduce scars.

5. I also suggest you avoid using aromatic products. Such products contain fragrances and colours that may not suit your sensitive skin and cause some irritation.
