Brief Answer: Generalised skin pigmentation Detailed Answer: Hi I have seen the attached pictures . Although you do have some degree of generalised pigmentation over the face but the good thing is that you have a very glowing and healthy skin.The problem areas in your case are the areas around the mouth and around the eyes. I do understand that you want a overall improvement in the face color but it is possible only to a certain extent. Now to begin with, you should start with application of a mild lightening agent like kojivit cream all over twice a day. In addition, you should use a good sunscreen like neutrogena dry touch spf 50 every time before you go out in the sun. Make sure you apply the sunscreen atleast thirty minutes before sun exposure . Reapply it every three hours if you stay out in the sun . In addition , take oral vitamin c tablets 500 mg twice a day . I would not recommend the use of stronger agents like slimlite cream for your skin since long term use of these agents can cause various side effects . Also I would advise you to see a good nearby dermatologist with whom you can discuss options like chemical peel and dermabrasion which can surely help in improving your skin glow and color. Take a diet rich in anti oxidants. Take lots of fresh salads and fruits especially citrus fruits like orange. Hope it helps Please ask if you need any further clarifications Dr Geetika Paul

Brief Answer: Pigmentation lips, use sun protection Detailed Answer: Hi Since you have dark and dried lips, the most important thing is to keep them moisturized. You can use any moisturising lip balm on daily basis. But what is important is that you should apply a sunscreen even on the lips on daily basis before any sun exposure . This will prevent any further sun induced pigmentation . Also you can the kojivit over the lips as well for a week to ten days so as to reduce the pigmentation . There after , you can continue only with the sunscreen and the lip balm. Dr Geetika Paul
