Thaks for choosing HCM..,
Change of colour and texture of skin....depend on the..,

NEUTROGENA...from Neutrogen corporation...USA.,
It is Ultra-shear and SPF 30 It acts as moisturizer...,
as well as sunscreen ..,
2) Tab...Derantox....from Curatio...it is Antioxidant skin tablets..,
daily for 2 months..,
3) Take plenty of Fresh fruits and vegetables..,
