Dear Anu
Herbs have different reactions on different people. Both the remedies are very good for skin disorders. May be your skin is very sensitive that is why it is causing this burning sensation. We advise you to try the following Herbs.
1. Mix 1 tablespoon Lemon and 1 tablespoon honey. Apply this mixture on the effected areas. Lemon contains natural bleaching agents. It make the dark spots light. Honey will make your skin radiant.
Apply the mixture for 15 minutes and then rinse it off with cold water. 2.Eat 1 pomegranate daily. This is one of the best remedies that helps in attaining a glowing Skin.

2. Take some pure Sandalwood powder, add some gram floor and a pinch of Turmeric powder in it. Make a paste by adding coconut water or rose water. Pour that in ice trays and freeze it. Apply one ice cube daily. Wait until it gets dry. Wash your face with normal water.
Try this too for 1 week.
