How Can Facial And Skin Complexion Fairness Be Improved?

I am 18 years old and I have a brownish-fair type of complexion and I want to be completely fair or at least 2-3 shades more fair! I do not like fairness creams which are available in markets because none of them prove to be effective enough. I was wondering what medicine or creams could I use to get a reliable result with no side effects. any suggestions?

Hello,

I can understand your concern for improving the facial skin complexion.

Facial skin complexion basically depends on the genetical tendency as well as on certain more features of sun exposure along with dietary factors.

I suggest following important things to be done for improving the complexion:

-     Sun protection- it is the first and foremost factor in reducing the pigmentation.

-     Use of good sunscreen daily for 3 times.

-     Diet with fruits and green leafy vegetables

-     Avoid any substance abuse.

I generally prescribe my patients a cream containing Kojic acid with arbutin cream or cream containing mild skin lightening agents.

You can take further guidance form a dermatologist for best help.

All the best.
