Thank you for query.Natural color is the best color.I do not advise use of any cosmetics for becoming fair.Cosmetics do more harm than good.wash regularly her face atleast 2 times a day with gentle cleansers like cetaphil.Do not use any creams.do not rub or use harsh soaps.Sunscreens protect from pigmentation if used atleast 2-3 times per day.Mild keratolytics like salicylic acid can be used if need be under supervision of dermatologist.
