I've been using Patanjali toothpaste on my face to try and get rid of some pimples, but now my skin's super dry, really irritated, and parts feel like they're burning. What should I do to fix this, and is it safe to use toothpaste like that on the skin anyway?

I've been having this really annoying itching problem all over my body that only seems to happen at night. I saw a doctor about it and took the medication they prescribed, but the itching came back. I'm taking cetirizine to try and help with the symptoms, but it's still bothering me a lot. I recently moved to Chennai about 5 months ago. Could this change be affecting me somehow, or is there something else I should consider? Any advice would be appreciated.

So, I just got my chemical smoothening done and I'm not loving this super flat look. The salon said to come back in three days for a wash, but I'm really tempted to wash it at home now. Is there any way I can get back some of my natural hair volume? Any tips on how to get this hair looking a bit more like it used to?

I've been dealing with a lot of black spots and some acne on my face. I use Clinsol gel from Lee Ford Medicines, but I really want clear skin. My skin tends to be oily, so I'm wondering if you could recommend a good cream or face wash that might help?

no problem u can take
