Brief Answer:
Chemical peels, Sunscreen
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
The difference in complexion of your facial skin and rest of skin is due to continous tanning of facial skin by exposure to sunlight.
Since face is highly exposed to sun, over the time the complexion becomes darker than rest of body.
In my patients I suggest them series of microdermabrasion followed by chemical peels.
These two procedures will remove dead superficial layers of skin and will stimulate regeneration of new skin, which is comparatively fairer, radiant and glowing.
After 6 sessions over 3-4 months, the results achieved can be maintained by a single session every 4 months.
At home apply a cream containing liquorice extract, kojic acid, tetrahydrocurcumin, etc ( Melaglow cream) on daily basis for several months.
Use a broad spectrum high spf sunscreen on regular basis to prevent further damage to skin.
Hope the information was useful,
Thanks
