2. Soak a few almonds in milk overnight. Grind them and mix with honey. Use this as a face or body scrub.

3. You could add a little milk to your bath water and bathe normally for soft skin.
Use preboiled unpaturised milk as a liquid pack on your face. Milk is a natural bleaching agent and nourishes the skin. It is also a skin softener.

Did u know diet is important for dandruff?

vidhya — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 18:30:00 +0000

It seems a good diet is very important to prevent dandruff…check this out..
To begin with, t one should resort to an all-fruit diet for about five days and take three meals a day of juicy fruits.
Citrus fruits, bananas, dried, stewed, or tinned fruits should not be taken
After the all-fruit diet, one can gradually adopt a well-balanced diet, with emphasis on raw foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. Further short periods of an all-fruit diet for three days or so may be necessary at monthly intervals till the skin’s condition improves.
Meats, sugar, white flour, strong tea or coffee, condiments, pickles, refined and processed foods should all be avoided.

after all the diet….additionally…
Keep the hair and scalp clean so as to minimise the accumulation of dead cells.

Also, brush the hair daily so that circulation is improved.
It is said that, the most effective way to brush the hair is to bend forward from the waist with the head down towards the ground, and brush from the nape of the neck towards the top of the head.
Massaging the scalp thoroughly before brushing everyday using finger tips is very good.

The use of fenugreek seeds is one of the most important remedies in the treatment of dandruff. Two tablespoons of these seeds should be soaked overnight in water and ground into a fine paste in the morning. This paste should be applied all over the scalp and left for half an hour. The hair should then be washed thoroughly with soap-nut (ritha) solution or shikakai.
