What To Apply On Face To Get Rid Of Aging Spots,wrinkles And Sun Tan In Man ?
Hello! My dad is 55 year old. He has fair skin but his face has turned brownish since many years. He has lot of dark brown spots on his brown face (may be its wrinkles!) The color change seems like sun tanning because he has never applied sunscreen though he goes out frequently. I told him to apply sunscreen but he is too lazy to do this. He his diabetic and a high bp patient since 8-9 years. Please suggest me some natural methods to cure the damage done. Some herbal creams would be great to know. I live in India so tell me the products which is available easily here. Thanks a lot! :)

Hello Good,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic. Its true that exposure to sun fastens ageing of skin and brings in wrinkles and tan too. So here are some remedies which you asked for ; apply aloe vera over face and other tanned areas atlaest twice daily after rinsing face properly.Rub papaya pulp(natural skin-lightening agent on tanned skin), then rinse.Exfoliate twice daily with lemon juice and honey. Even orange juice helps to fade a suntan.Slice cucumbers and rub on tanned skin.Or dip cotton pads in cold milk and run them on tanned skin to help fade.Apply almond paste to face after cleansing, then rinse.Hope these work out well on your dad. Wish him good health.
Tomato juice, also has got some anti tan property.

Hi,Dr,Tina,
Read your reply,
have you got any statistical data of any improvement in the condition using various vegetables on face?
If you advice these without having any proof then what is the difference between you and Vaidaraj!
Our fore father were using these as there were no good medicines available.
I hope you wont find bad.
ok and bye.
