Question

I've never been a smoker, but my lips are really dark, and I'm desperate to lighten them. I've tried a bunch of home remedies like lemon, honey, and beetroot, but nothing seems to work. What else can I do to help get rid of this?

Darkening of lips could be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, dehydration, Sun exposure. Identify the cause and address it. Use a lip balm with spf 15 or higher to protect them.Ensure you drink plenty of water daily. use a gentle scrub to exfoliate dead skin 2-3 times a week. use moisturising and hydrating lip balms.

Question

I've been dealing with these severe skin allergies that lead to unbearable itching. A few years ago, I had a tricort 40 injection, and it really helped. The itching is getting intolerable again, and I'm thinking about getting another tricort injection. Do you think that's a good idea? I genuinely need some advice on this. Please let me know your thoughts.

Question

I'm curious about the hair solution I've been given. Should I apply it after washing my hair? And once I've done that, is it okay to use my usual hair oil afterward? I'm currently using Chik shampooshould I continue using it, or is there a need for me to switch to a different shampoo?

Question

I'm just 24 and I've already started noticing gray hair and quite a bit of hair loss. It seems like I'm losing about 2400 hairs every day, especially when I'm combing or taking a shower. Is this normal? What might be causing it, and what can I do about it?
