Brief Answer:
precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
I have seen the attached pictures and it is is all stress related changes.
Apply a good undereye cream from good brands, garnier and body shop products are good.
Apply melalite cream on cheeks in areas of pigmentation.
Daily take a capsule of vitamin E and folic acid as they help in skin renewal.
Take a note of the following points -
- try to have a good rest schedule specially at night
- avoid late nights and rather avoid excess of television
- take ample amount of water
- take good amount of milk and green leafy vegetables
- almonds and walnuts are very good and should be taken on daily basis
- avoid any kind of stress by keeping calm and also you can start meditation and yoga too.
These will help with both depression and pigmentation issues
Take care
