Hi,
Various factors, such as sun exposure, genetics, and certain medical conditions, can cause the darkness and stickiness of the skin. To treat these symptoms, it is essential first to identify the underlying cause and then take appropriate steps to address it.
If the darkness and stickiness are caused by sun exposure, using sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and avoiding prolonged sun exposure can help to prevent further damage. Using a moisturizer can also help to keep the skin hydrated and reduce stickiness.
If the darkness and stickiness are caused by a medical condition, such as
eczema or
psoriasis, it is essential to
consult a dermatologist for treatment options. Generally, a healthy skincare routine, including cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing, can help improve the skin's appearance and feel.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
