Suggest Remedy For A Fair Skin

Hi! My name is raghav. I used to be very fair in complexion but now my skin is toned. My different body parts have different colour. My face is little dusky and my neck is dark brown and arms are also brown. The area of the body which is covered is still fair. Almost i used every products on my skin but i felt they are of no use. I used sunscreen but its also not found effective. Whenever i wash my face it becomes very fair sometimes, but after some hours it becomes dusky.. Please help me i want to regain my fair colour. please tell me a solution that can make my skin fair.. Thankyou

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that skin darkening on the exposed areas of your body like face, neck, hands and arms is due to sun exposure causin Sun Tanning..
As you might have used sunscreen lotion once the tanning has already occurred then the sunscreen lotion cannot help you..
Do not worry, the first thing that you have to do is to keep using sunscreen lotion containing SPF 50 whenever you go out into sun..
You can wear full sleeved shirts.
If possible cover your face with scarf..
You should exfoliate the tanned and dead skin using a mild face and body scrub atleast twice a week..
You can apply creams containing Kojic Acid, Glycolic acid and Arbutin to improve the skin tone..
Take Vitamin C and Vitamin E supplemnts, apply Vitamin E oil at night and also do cool compresses over face and neck and also arms..
Drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
