My face is much darker than the rest of my body, probably because of exposure to the sun. Is there any home remedy I can use to gradually lighten my face so that I get back my original colour and so that it gets evened out?
Re: Face darker than the rest of my body?
I have the same issue and difference is marked.
Re: Face darker than the rest of my body?
OP, Retin-A will get your skintone back to its normal colour.. You need to use sunscreen every day.. it makes a massive difference..
Re: Face darker than the rest of my body?
I don't know if this works or not but a friend of mine swears by this and she's very fair - as in her whole body including her face is fair. She uses milk - cold milk and puts it in a bowl - wets a cotton pad and applies it on her face and then washes it after 10 minutes. I tried to do it but then got lazy..
I think sunscreen, a good hate, sunglasses when you go out, and use a good exfoliator at least once a week - that should help.
I tend to tan very easily in the summertime and I use sunscreen religiously and a hat helps too.

Your best bet is to start using a good sunscreen anytime you go outside and also get 40% lactic acid peels and start doing that once every two weeks.

If your friend is only putting the milk only on her face....then that doesn't explain why her whole body is fair too. But yes, the concept works b/c of the lactic acid. Applying milk will eventually have a bit of a lightening effect too. But anyone doing a lactic acid peel will get the results faster.

What I meant by that is she doesn't have a contrast between her face colour and her body colour. Her body is fair because she doesn't expose it, and most women have the same problem. Our faces are more exposed than other parts of our bodies.
This works wonders! Homemade! cucumber pulp, honey, haldi, besan aata, and lemon. Mix it up and make a paste. Leave it on for 20 mins and soften it by applying milk before washing it off. Do it three times a week and you will definitely see results!

any specific brands you recommend? I did a google search and found makeup artists choice masks...
Re: Face darker than the rest of my body?
^ For chemical peels? MUAC (Makeup Artists Choice) is where I buy them from. I’ve used their lactic, glycolic, and TCA peels. Customer service is great. They usually have a discount code under “daily deal” and if you sign up for e-mails, often they do 25% or 30% off flash sales.

You can have a lighter skin by using a product with Vitamin C. Vitamin C can help your skin glowing and brighter. Eat some citrus fruits or berries it is rich in Vitamin C and good for the skin. I recommend you to use Essenzza natural Japanese silk facial treatment mask that has Vitamin C and Argan oil. Use this mask at least once a week it will leave your skin soft, brighter and glowing.

Paheli, I would really love to see what your facial skin looks like. It would be motivation to stick with the peels more.

fair and lovely.

I've been using the PTR unwrinkle peels. The sun damage has improved a lot.
