Brief Answer:
You may apply candid B lotion over the affected areas

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the details and understand your concerns. There are two parts of the problem. One is the overall colour of your skin and the other is the freckles here and there. About the overall colour of skin, it is due to a pigment called melanin. The concentration of this pigment is genetically determined and there is not much that you can do about it. Skin whitening is a myth that people fall for, but it hardly helps anybody except for the companies preparing the products. In a nutshell, you cannot make your skin bright in terms of complexion although you can definitely keep it clean and healthy looking. Use of some moisturising cream would be helpful in this regard.

The next part of the problem is the freckles.
* Apply Candid B lotion over the affected areas.
* Use ketoconazole shampoo (available in brands like Nizoral or the ones containing ZPTO) twice or thrice a week and let the foam trickle over to your face.

Hope that would help.

Brief Answer:
I would suggest you to use Dove to wash your face.

Detailed Answer:
I understand what you are referring to.

I would suggest you to use Dove or sandal containing soap to wash your face. At other times, wash your face frequently with plain water. Using a face cream that has glycerine will help with the dry skin.

Also be sure to follow the things I have mentioned in my last communication. I think that would take care of your problems.
