Suggest Treatment To Get Fairer Skin

Hi, my name is Ria. How are you? I m 23 years old, and have been medium fair in complexion when i was younger till the age of 17. Now i happen to have a wheatish complexion, and i have no idea how that happend. I use sunscreen on a daily basis, and exfoliate after every other day. Do you have any suggestions how i can have atleast my natural skin tone back. My lips have also become very dark, and i don t know what to do to determine my normal complexion. I would really appreciate it if you could provide me with some helpful ideas/remedies.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that you have generalized hyperpigmentation of skin and can occur due to a number of causes and sun tanning is one of
the common cause..
I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can be done..
He can advise you to start washing your face with Salicylic acid and Glycolic acid containing facewash like Melaglow, AHA glow etc..
You can apply depigmenting creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
You can also apply Vitamin E and C containing creams..
You can take Vitamin C supplements..
Exfoliate your skin twice a week and not more than that..
Limit sun exposure and apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
You can scrub your lips with a piece of lemon by sprinkling salt on it..
You can apply honey over lips..
Drink plenty of water and a nutritious diet..

Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
