I've noticed that the hairs on my eyebrows and upper lip are starting to turn white. I've been dealing with grey hair for the past 34 years, and it just seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Is there any way to stop my eyebrow hairs from going white too?

Greying of hair is a normal aging process which starts around 30 as the melanocytes activity of the body slows down and gradually the melanin production in hair stops. If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. You can delay the process of greying of hair by some lifestyle modifications. Take adequate sleep and drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.

I was prescribed Faceclin Gel by Dr. Ashok Gupta from Krishna Nagar, and I'm a bit confused about how to use it throughout the day. Should I wash my face before applying the gel, and do I need to reapply it after washing my face later on? I'm trying to figure out the best way to incorporate it into my skincare routine. Any advice?

Apply a thin layer evenly on the affected areas of your face. It is usually recommended to apply FACECLIN GEL once daily, preferably in the evening before bedtime. Avoid applying the gel near the eyes, mouth, or any broken skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the gel. Do not wash your face immediately after applying the gel. Let it stay on your face overnight for best results. In the morning, you can wash your face with a mild cleanser to remove the gel residue. Remember to follow the dosage and application instructions provided by your doctor for the best results.
