I'm dealing with really bad dandruff and I've heard that lemon juice might help. Can I just apply lemon juice directly onto my scalp for this? Also, I'm worried if using lemon juice might cause my hair to turn white. What should I do?

I'm really struggling with acne on my right cheek, and it's making me feel really self-conscious. I've been thinking about trying Himalaya's neem face pack to help with it, but I'm not sure how often I can use it. Will it actually help reduce acne? I'm really hoping to find something that works. Can you give me some advice on how to handle this?

I'm considering trying out either a chemical peel or a skin laser lightening treatment to lighten my complexion a bit, both for my face and hands. There's no medical issue, I'm just curious about brightening things up a shade or two. If I go ahead with this, would you have any idea how much it might cost in Karnataka, India? Also, how much will my skin lighten after these treatments, and how long can I expect the effects to last? I'm just trying to weigh my options and figure out what might be the best approach!
