Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from generalized hyperpigmentation of skin and can be due to causes like excessive sun exposure leading to tanning, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiency etc..
I would suggest you to start washing your face with Salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash..
You can apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
You can also apply Azelic acid containing creams..
You can apply Vitamin E and C containing creams and gels..
You can exfoliate your skin twice a week with a gentle scrub..
You can also take Vitamin C supplements..
You can limit sun exposure and apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
You can also go for treatments like Photofacial. chemical peeling, Microdermabrasion etc..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
