Thank you for query.Natural color is the best color.it is always better to have natural color than go for whiteners.dark skin have melanin which protect you from various skin cancers.So please avoid any fairness/cosmetic creams.I do not advise use of any cosmetics for becoming fair. Cosmetics do more harm than good .wash face regularly atleast 2 times a day with gentle cleansers like cetaphil.do not rub or use harsh soaps.If you still persist use sunscreens in the day time at least 3 -4 times a day which also helps in preventing sun tanning. Sunscreens protect from pigmentation if used atleast 2-3 times per day.Mild keratolytics like salicylic acid can be used if need be under supervision of dermatologist.You can get back to me for any clarifications .Dr Bharatesh
