This is a good list. I have heard that putting buttermilk on skin also helps take tan away and is safe for kids
I did not know that Indians are so conscious about coloring. I say that beauty comes in all colors.
Deepa, I have heard about the buttermilk too.
I have also heard about Indians crazy about white skin…I agree with you Holly..
olive oil is not good for indian babys skin..it becomes darker.i tried it myself n became one shade adrker than what i was………
Thanks for the info about the olive oil.I was trying to go try it on my baby..
what are other options for this Kasthoori Manjal? we dont have any indian store in our country. please i need ur response. thank you.
You can buy it online though I havent got it from there..Check this site out
One of my friend said that you can substitute manjal with kadala mavu(gram flour)
can anybody tell me, what can we do at the time of pragnancy to get a fair baby.
Devi- While you are pregnant, what you can do is
1.Skip coffee ,tea. Old people say if you take them the kids will get darker complexion..Here the doctors say its not good because of the caffeine
2.Mix a pinch of kumkumapoo(saffron strands) in milk once a day. You can out this in sweets too..This may improve the complexion..Have it while you are breastfeeding too.
hi priya, pl can u help me? my ba
dear priya hi.my baby was very fairer and now he is 1yr old but he is losing his colour day by day.pl advice me what should i do to restore his colour.i am using olive oil but it makes no difference.
Hi Ani- Please try Kasthuri manjal with milk and put it on the face..Wash it off after 10 min or when you see its getting dry. If he is not sitting still to put the mix on ,try to put the kasthuri manjal oil. Also ,try this one..Heat milk and collect the foam that comes on top. After its cool,put the foam/skin of that on face..
hi ,
i’m a darker person… can you pls tell me to get a fair complexion… i’m 30 yr old…what is good for skin is it gingerly oil or olive oil ?
i have pimple marks on my face and how can i get rid of those ?
please please help me…
I have never heard about gingerly oil being good. Olive oil is good but one of the commentators had said its didnt work for her. Have you tried the milk skin that I mentioned in the post?
i think drinking soy bean milk while pregnant will result fair skin baby
Never hard about that..Will try that..
all nonsens
you all are crazy!!!!
I want a oil which will make fair the skin of my baby.why so confused i dont know
Anonymous, You can try kasthoori manjal oil . I got it from Kerala.Also in Kerala, you get Kaveri baby fairness oil. Try that too.
Try Kasthoori manjal oil.Also try kaveri baby fairness oil.
i want to know that where can i buy the kaveri baby fairness oil in chennai.refer some shops.
Try Kasthoori manjal oil. Also try Kaveri baby fairness oil
Lavanya- I got it from Kerala. I am sure you will get in Chennai too..I have never been to Chennai so not sure which shop. Do you know any Kerala shop in chennai. They will have it.
is that kaveri baby fairness oil really work? anybody tried it. because i have 2 search somewhere to find out the shop. if it really works, then i will try to get it from kerala through someone.
Which oil is best for baby? I have been using olive oil , but I too noticed darkness in skin. Which oil do i switch to now? Almond oil or coconut oil, which one is better for fair skin? Also, kasthoori manjal oil is marketed by which brand?
I used Kaveri fairness oil.Its a product by Pankaja kasthuri.You get Kasthoori manjal oil from ayurveda stores in kerala. I used them both.I could see a difference after 28 days.
my son is almost a year old and i live in south africa, is there something for his complextion that anyone can recommend that is available in my country?
Riya- Do you have indian stores in South Africa?
Can anybody pls tell me what is kastoori manjal and if its available in Pak? i’d be grateful.
Kasthoori manjal is tumeric. I am not sure if it will be avaliable in Pak.It will be available in south Indian store if you have one there
I came 2 know through the online company called ayurveda for all .com that pankaja kasthuri firm has stopped manufacturing the kaveri baby fairness oil. Is this true?
I am not sure if thats true..I still see the product available in pankajakasthuri site
Thanx Pry. Thats sweet of u. Hopefully i find it in Pak
Hi Smitha,
There are some indian stores here, is tumeric roots smashed up and rubbed on good? hihi! I am thinking of my hurdhee night
I like the whole Haldi idea. I have heard it is very god for skin – my friend did it for weeks before her wedding and it worked.
Yes,it is a mission and very messy. I sometimes used (on myself) the vicco stuff – specially since I know that in some parts of India they do that routinly before marriage. But you know, they stain a lot – your clothes and even bangles become yellow. So I am not sure if it is good for kids.
Hello
I have just given birth to baby girl i am fair my husband is also fair but my baby complexion is bit dark what can i do i live in uk where do i get these products from please help me!!
You should be able to get tumneric in most of the Indian shops. Do they have south Indian shops in UK. You may be able to get these products there.
Hi
applying Naal Pamarathi Oil – (you will find it in any ayurvedic shop) is very good for lightening any scars or blemishes on baby’s skin.
PAPAYA IS VERY GOOD TO IMPROVE SKIN COMPLEXION
The skin colour does not come up because of all this. It is in the gene(not the pants). Scientics say that the baby can take gene from 30 generations form Both side..(meaning 60 generations of gene). Please make sure that you give healthy food and lots of greens for the baby. That will ensure rich looking and no-defficeny skin. You can try all teh above tricks just to make urself happy and busy
hey pry.what is kasthoori manjal..what i cud understand from thes blog is, that it is turmeric powder..is it right..pls tell me..my baby is 6 weeks old and i was using olive oil..which seems not working and he is turning dark instead..
Yes .its tumeric powder. You should be able to get this in indian stores.
why this obsession with fairness? as mothers love your children as they are. stop projecting your idiotic issues on your kids. this indian obsession with fairness is so stupid. be concerned with health and nutrition and personality development, not with outer appearances.
As a darker Indian women, I really blame mothers for perpetuating that ancient myth that fair skin = beauty. If your child should be darker that you wish, then you will only serve the purpose of making them insecure, shy, and scared of everyone’s judgment for the rest of their life. When I have a child someday I will focus on their INNER beauty, health and happiness.
