Dear Roopashree,
Due to the pandemic, I do not feel safe going to the parlour.
I have combination skin on my face, basically a T zone.
Can you suggest natural ways to take care of my face and remove dry skin and blackheads and whiteheads?
Thank you in advance.

Ans: Skin is the reflection of our inner health. Therefore we should opt for both internal as well as external remedies to have a healthy skin.
Dry skin might be an indicator of dehydration, or other reasons that effect the secretion of natural oils that keep the skin moist. If you have excessive dryness, you should visit an Ayurveda practitioner to understand and cure the root cause.
Meanwhile, a few external remedies like a tomato-honey pack and sandalwood pack, on alternate weeks, can be helpful.
For blackhead removal, make a thick paste from hibiscus powder. Lleave for five minutes and scrub gently. Leave for another 10 minutes and rinse. You can do this every fortnight and eventually once a month.
