What Causes Dark Discoloration Of The Facial Skin?

Home remedies and consult dermatologist.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Facial skin darker than the rest of the body is common.
You can try these home remedies:
- Start using sunscreen religiously, preferably something with micronized zinc oxide. If you can't get a sunscreen with zinc oxide, look for one with full spectrum block. It should say something like 'Blocks UVA, UVB and infrared rays'. But zinc oxide causes a physical block and is a surefire way to prevent tanning.
- Cover your face physically when out in the sun, either with a wide brimmed hat or an umbrella.
- Massage face with half cut tomato weekly.
- Scrub face with the mixture of oats,curds,almond oil fortnightly
- Make a face pack of - turmeric, besan, and drops of lemon. This can also be done weekly.
- Apply raw milk with a cotton ball on skin. Keep it on for 20 minutes and wash away with cold water. This can be done everyday.
- Drink lots of fluids minimum 3 liters per day.
- Healthy diet with fresh fruits and vegetables.
There are some laser treatments available for which it is best to consult a dermatologist for a detailed examination and discuss the treatment options.
I hope this answered your query.
With regards,
