Hi there, I would like to know If there are any drug or injection or cream or any surgery that I cn undergo to get a lighter skin.. I m the darkest in my family and therefore facing some personal problems, I have been using some fairness but it ain t seem to be working. Waiting for your reply
Dark skin is not to be hated for. You should have a healthy skin, that's all what matters!!
Dark skin has excess melanin as compared to white skin which protects it from sun damage and photoageing, therefore dark skin does'nt age as early as white skin and hence people with dark skin have much less wrinkles as compared to people with white skin.
Skin color is genetically determined and one cannot change the skin type of an individual.
Dark skin gets tanned easily, if that is your concern then you should use a broad spectrum sunscreen daily.
take care regards
