Suggest Remedy For Dark Skin

Hi Recently where I m living in the UK it has been fairly warm. My skin colour has gone a really dark, about three shades darker if not more. I use sun screen every time and I do not wear make up. What tips can I get to get my skin colour back to its normal shade quickly. Ive heard detol soap is really good and it lightens your skin? What do you think. Thank you

Hi,

Its good that use a sun protection creams every day, the colour of the skin is determine of fitz cpatrick skin type.

Type I-II:  Always burns, never tans

Type III:  May burn, tans well

Type IV:  Rarely burns, tans well

Type V:  Very rarely burns, tans well, brown skin

Type VI:  Very rarely burns, tans well, very dark skin

Find yourself skin type, at evening you can use. Lightening cream for almost three months. I suggest you some aesthetic procedures like chemical peeling doing them in a professional persons, according to my experience chemical peeling with TCA 15 % is a good choice, 5-6 sessions every two weeks.

Regards,
Dr. Ardiana Sinani
