What Can Cause A Baby's Skin Tone To Tan?

H My daughter is 2.5 years now. when she was born she was fair but now she has tanned a lot, her face is fair but rest of the body has tanned. I hear saffron in milk is good to get a fair complexion. Can you please tell me what should be the proportion of saffron in milk for such small kids ( how many strands in how much ml of milk?) can you please also let me know any other alternate treatments,

Thanks and regards

Hi dear
Welcome to the HCM.
It is not proven that saffron has got any role Hyperpigmentation has got any role with.
Color of the skin is determined with the presence of a skin pigment called melanin.
In the sun pigment spreads and makes the person tanned. In the dark the pigment shrinks and make the person fair complexioned.
Hope the query is answered.
Thankx
