Treatments like retinoic acid peel, pixel laser and dermaroller has also been successfully used in stretch mark reduction. You need to consult a dermatologist for treating stretch marks.
2. I have many pimples on my skin. What should I do?
Pimples are a medical issue. If you have had pimples for a very long time, you need to see a skin doctor because medicine is needed for your conditions. If you delay the treatment your condition will become permanent. So hurry!!! For pimple marks you can use the Depiwhite or Kojic oint on scars at night. Use the dewsoft lotion on full face at night for moisturising your skin and making it glow.

This is a good age to start intensive skin care. Follow the following:
- Use the vichy oligo foam for washing the face
- Use a good sunscreen like Clarins or Neutrogena daily in the morning
- Use makeup remover Demaq, from Loreal
- Apply a good night cream from Sebamed on a daily basis.
- Get a cleanup/facial done once a month
8. I have a lot of blackheads on my face. Is there any home remedy for it?
There is no home remedy besides steaming. You can use besan with lemon juice to scrub, but extraction will be required. So, I suggest you do a cleanup at a professional place. Also apply yugard skin oint at night on area affected by blackheads.
9. My facial skin has a lot of open pores. What can I do?
For open pores no creme will works. Toner may help to some extent. But for better results fractional lasers work well, spaced at monthly intervals.
10. What is the way to handle oily skin?
Use Fash foaming face wash to wash the face and use a water-based moisturiser. You can use Veil moisturiser sunscreen during the day and if your skin is still oily you may require a Vit A supplement but this has to be taken under medical supervision.
