The rainy season brings along with its share of skin problemsoily skin, open pores, boils, pustules and prickly heat. 

If the atmosphere is heavily polluted as in our cities, particles of dirt tend to cling to the skin, giving it a dull grey appearance. Fortunately, frequent cleansing and refreshing will help keep it looking and feeling clean.

Try this special skin cleaning powder. Green gram powder-l tablespoon. Bengal gram powder-l tablespoon. Fenugreek seeds powder-l teaspoon. Use a teaspoon of this powder mixed with rose water on your face daily.

Even if your skin is well balanced or slightly dry, it may be a good idea ,to change your moisturiser for a very very light weight one formulated for an oily skin which will feel less cloying.

To combat a greasy skin and open pores wash your face three times daily with a mild soap. Rinse off every trace of soap with warm water, then cold water. Use an astringent.

Every night, drink a glass of water with a crystal of rock salt and the juice of half a lemon. Use the other half of the lemon in your face mask, mixed with a teaspoon of honey and egg white. Do it everyday for six to eight weeks and see a remarkable improvement in your skin. .

During the rainy season, when there is profuse sweating and the body is not exposed to air, red pustules of the size of mustard grains appear on the body, especially chest, back, abdomen and forehead. There is a lot of itching.

To avoid prickly heat and to soothe it, twice a day dust the body liberally with equal quantities of boric powder, sandalwood powder and talcum powder.

Multant mitti (Fuller’s earth) dissolved in water into a thin paste should be applied over the affected parts. When the paste dries, a cold bath should be taken. Yogurt applied to the affected areas before a bath also helps give relief to prickly heat.

Those of you subject to prickly heat should take cooling drinks and increase the intake of liquids. Boils are caused by bacterial infection in the roots of the hair. A red swelling forms around the hair and causes a great deal of irritation and scratching. There is pain and sometimes pus.

To subside the growth in its preliminary stage, apply kala jeera (black cumin seed) ground in water over the infected parts.

For frequent appearance of infected pimples on the face, apply neem tree bark ground in water. The face should also be washed with warm water in which neem leaves have been heated.

Grated onion mixed with sandalwood powder and applied to the face helps clean septic pustules and makes the skin soft and smooth in a few weeks.
