Hi...dear Nithy..,
Thanks for choosing HCM..,
Tanning of face is common in Travellers due to frequent..,
Sun exposure...,here Uv-B ( spectrum...between 280 to 320 nm)..,
is the main cause..,
Here MELACARE contains steroid will give good result intially.,
But after few days problem will be double up..,
So don't stop Melacare suddenly..Tapper it slowly..,
Then should be replaced by Moisturizing cream....night times..,
Morning times use SUNSCREEN lotion(Mandatory) ...Suncare,or Melaguard or Sun cote..,
SPF....Sun Protective Factor should be more than 30 and Every 2 hrs ..,
can be use...ok thanQ
