I'm struggling with dandruff all year round, no matter the weather. I've tried using lemon juice, hair oils, anti-dandruff shampoos, even henna, but nothing seems to work. It's super itchy all the time, and washing my hair every other day hasn't helped at all. I generally have dry skin, but this dandruff issue has really worsened in the past year. Could you please give me some advice on what I might try next?

I'm really struggling with my oily and acne-prone skin. I found a couple of face washes, Acnelack and Ahaglow, and I really like them both. I'm thinking about using Acnelack in the morning and Ahaglow at night, but I'm worried if that might make things worse. Do you think this routine would help or not?

Using Acnelak in the morning and Ahaglow at night may be beneficial, as Acnelak's salicylic acid can help control oil and acne during the day, while Ahaglow's glycolic acid can aid in gentle exfoliation and skin renewal at night; however, monitor your skin's response, as combining products with different active ingredients can sometimes cause irritation or dryness.

Is it alright to use Ban A Tan cream regularly given it only has natural ingredients? I'm just curious if its safe for daily use.

Although Banana Tan cream contains natural ingredients, it's essential to exercise caution and patch test before using it daily, as natural ingredients can still cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, or interact with other products, so start with a small area and monitor your skin's response.

I've been having really itchy palms and feet for the past three days. There aren't any rashes, but whenever I scratch, the skin gets all red. It's starting to worry me a bit. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as dyshidrotic eczema. For relief from itching and redness, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream on the affected areas. Additionally, taking oral antihistamines such as cetirizine can help with itching. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
