Dermatologist 's  Response
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.
