dull skin Hi vasti, my sister's face is very fair and smooth but her body skin is very dull, dry and dark. none of the moisturers work for her except glycerin mixed with rosewater. she is using gramflour paste instead of soap. could u suggest some remedies to improve the skin complexion and smoothness.
re :dull skin hi reena welcome to d IL family. ur sister can use raw milk on her body.she can use it before bathing n then can take bath after some time or she can use it at night before sleeping(can leave for whole night) hope it helps...... sonia
Hi Reena. Your sister can use baby oil for application after bath on her bosy. I know it works well for prople with very dry skin. It is important to apply the oil in the bath itself..like when the body is slightly damp (not wet). She can use johnson& johnson's baby oil. Im sure this will work..if not, we ll find some other way!! regards Ridhima

Dear Sundari Thank you for three wonderful methods. Also liked the word 'neeradal powder'. I think many persons may have missed this post, it took me sometime to find it.One more question- is it possible to buy this neeradal powder somewhere? Thanks for the effort. Such methods are hard for us to get. warm regards VR
