I am Shilpi from Bangalore. I bleach my face every week and love the glow my skin gets after that. Am I doing something wrong? Will my skin become darker and too dry over a period of time?

hello shilpi the bleaches available in the markets are chemicals and can be harmful if done very often. Once a week is definitely a bit too often to do bleach. You can do regular mild xfoliation at home and use a face pack once a week to get the glow effect. However, doing bleach once a month or so is a good idea and can be done without harming the skin.

hello Shilpi Dandruff is another very common problem faced by many. Some good home remedies for dandruff are-

Rub in a lot of aloevera gel into your scalp 15-20 minutes before your hair wash. Wash with a mild shampoo and see the difference over some time.
Vinegar is considered as a good treatment for dandruff. Dilute vinegar with water and use on scalp before wash for about 30 mins. Then rinse off with a mild shampoo.
Olive oil is also considered as a good home remedy to smother dandruff.
