I'm a bit worried about my skin. I've been using this cream for about 6 months, but I've started to notice my skin is getting really thin. Now I'm concerned about stopping it because I've heard there can be some scary side effects, like this thing they call permanent pig. Can you help me figure out the best way to stop using it without dealing with these side effects? I'm really looking for an alternative or anything that might help ease this transition.

I'm a 23-year-old female, and I've been struggling with my hair turning really dry and frizzy even after using both conditioner and shampoo. I make sure to apply oil to my hair regularly, but it just doesn't seem to improve. Could you recommend any shampoos that might work well for dry and frizzy hair, particularly considering the climate in India?
