Hi... You may use the skin lightening products that will help you to lighten the skin.. Use sunscreen lotion, regular face washing will all help in brightening the skin.. Concentrate on good and proper nutrition, vitamin supplements will also be helpful.. And for dry skin, plenty of moisturisers are available.. Drinking plenty of water is also essential...

Hi,Deepa
It is a very common problem practically meny are facing.
Make a habit to wash your face with cold water whenever you come from outside.
Use sunscreen lotion whenever you go outside in the heat without fail.
Wash your face with face wash and cold water.
Regular life style, balanced diet full of vitamins and vegetables and fruits, regular exercise all will help you in gaining the glow to your skin and face. Do not use any soap for your hairs. Use herbal shampoo or any other reputed shampoo. ALSO USE ANti-dendruff lotion on your hairs.

Dear Deepa
The skin and hair loss problem may have their root cause lying in thyroid. It is better to get thyroid profile done. If it is normal then sun screen lotion etc. work good. In ayurveda if the cause is other than thyroid then gandhak rasayan and punarnava mandur and praval pishti are recommended internally and locally rose water mixed with glycerine and few drops of lemon is recommended.
