Hi,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to HCM.
After reading your query it seems that you are two problems one of sun tanning and the other of facial induced acne.
The skin over face is most prone to get darkened comparing to rest of the body by the fact that it is most exposed area to sun. It is a natural phenomenon of the skin to get dark because the activity of the melanocytes ( color producing cell).
By doing facials, you actually block your pores so there is more chances of getting pimples after facials if you have oily skin condition.
So for the remedy:
1. Apply a water based sunscreen
2. Protect yourself from direct sunlight
3. Don't apply any cream or moisturizing agents
4. Stop oil application over scalp
5. Avoid taking facials or facial massage
Oxidon plus is a multivitamin with antioxidant s added in it, while kogiglo is a safe skin lightening agent containing kojic acid and other compounds in it. You can take oxidon plus and apply kogiglo gel under medical advice. . But along with it you should take lot fruits, green leafy vegetables and lot liquids in your daily schedule.
Hope the information will help you.
