I've heard quite a few people say that applying an ice cube on your face can help with reducing pores and redness. Is that true? Could it potentially cause any harm to the skin? Just feeling a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe before I try it out.

I've been using Tugain solution to help with my hair thickness. I'm thinking about switching to Indulekha hair oil. Do you think that's a good idea? Would it still be effective for hair thickness, or should I stick with Tugain? I'm a bit concerned about making a change like this. What would you recommend?

chemical free oils would work,consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair.
