A lemon, honey and sugar scrub will help lighten the skin and make it smooth. Do this every day - it's the best remedy for your arms and elbows.
I have brown spots on my forehead which I suppose are pimple marks; and I also have few blackheads which I want to get rid of. Also, my complexion is uneven as my forehead is darker than my cheeks. Can you please suggest some simple home remedies for my problems which don't involve the usage of eggs or milk? Thanks in advance.

Make a thick creamy mask of strawberry purée and corn flour, and apply on your face. When the mask dries out, scrub it off using damp fingers. Do this every day, and you'll soon see the results: the blackheads will loosen, and skin tone will get bright and even.
I am a 14-year-old teenager, and I love reading your remedies every Friday. I am suffering from sudden hair fall, and have a growth of light facial hair under my nose and around the cheeks. I also have dark knees and elbows due to which I can't wear short dresses and sleeveless shirts. Can you please suggest some natural and effective remedies for the above problems?

Thanks for enjoying my column! For your hair fall: take 2 teaspoons of fresh aloe vera gel, and add 8 drops tea tree oil to it. Massage your entire scalp with it, and leave it on overnight. Your hair fall will stop. But you have to also stick to a high-protein diet, and drink 8 to 10 glasses of water daily. For facial hair: take turmeric, make a paste with a little water and apply on your problem areas and scrub against hair growth. Do this gently everyday. To lighten and smoothen elbows and knees: take oats powder, and add to coconut milk; leave to dry for about 30 minutes; then, scrub and rinse skin. If you do this everyday, you will have clear and smooth elbows and knees.
I'm a big time fan of your tips and I really hope you can help me with my problem. I'm a 15-year-old girl with lots of facial hair and body hair. The hair on my upper lip is starting to look weird... I need a home remedy for this!

Take 2 tablespoons of egg white; add 1 teaspoon turmeric and 2 teaspoons of oats powder to it. Mix, and apply on your skin; when semi-dry, scrub off, against hair growth. Gradually, the unwanted hair will disappear.
I am a 13-year-old girl and my underarms are pretty dark. I am an athlete. Does being an athlete have anything to do with having dark underarms? I also have dark knees which are exposed when I wear shorts. Can you please suggest a fast and easy method to take care of these problems?

Sometimes, perspiration can cause skin to get dark and grey. Rub raw potato pulp to the underarms and knees, and leave overnight for the skin to lighten at a rapid speed. If you do this daily, you're sure to get quick results.
