I've been using Kozel skin lightening gel that my doctor recommended for my dark spots. I'm really curious, is this gel actually safe to use? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

I've got these wax marks on my face from lighting a lantern during Diwali. Some wax fell on my lip and now there's a noticeable dark mark on both my lip and upper lip, and they've been there for about two weeks. I'm really worried about how to get rid of them. Any advice on what I can do?

To remove wax marks on your face, lips, and upper lip: Home Remedies 1. Aloe Vera Gel: Apply aloe vera gel to soothe and lighten marks. 2. Turmeric: Mix 1 tsp turmeric powder with lemon juice and honey for natural bleaching. 3. Coconut Oil: Massage coconut oil to moisturize and fade marks. 4.

I'm really concerned because I've had very dry lips and the surrounding skin is red and flaky for about four months now. I've tried using ghee, milk cream, and different lip care products, but nothing seems to work. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

you may be experiencing severe dryness and inflammation of the lips. I recommend trying a medicated lip balm containing ingredients such as hydrocortisone and ceramides to help soothe the redness and dryness. You can also apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or a lip balm with SPF throughout the day to keep your lips hydrated. Additionally, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated from the inside out. If the symptoms persist, you may need to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
