What Do I Do For A Fair Complexion?

I am a Muslim and have always covered my hair, neck and body leaving my face and hands exposed. As a result my face has a yellowish dark complexion compared to say my chest which is very fair and pink. Is this possible that my tanned face can regain and become exactly the same color as my chest (pinkish white)? I have also heard that if the face doesn t get tanned, it is naturally more fair than the rest of the body? Is this true. I basically want to know if i use maximum supplements, scrubs, exfoliants etc, how far will i succeed in gaining the face whiteness i want (how far can i get to the max). Also, It has been 3 days since i ve started taking vitamin C 1000 mg twice a day, Would this completely regain my face color in the long run or should I also be having a glutathione supplement with it, though I ve heard its worthless to take a glutathione supplement since it does not get absorbed.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

I can understand your concern for fair complexion.

If I were your dermatologist then I would have suggested you to use azelaic acid cream or Kojic acid cream or glycolic acid cream or licorice extract or arbutine creams at night time in guidance of dermatologist.

The most important part is to use a sunscreen regularly in open environment and on exposure to sun.

Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem can be dealt best for future time.

Take care
