Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello Puja,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Darkening of face and neck in Indian skin is mainly due to delayed tanning from sun exposure.
You need to use a good, broad spectrum sunscreen ( covering both UV-A and UV-B rays) every 4 hours even while indoors or on cloudy days.
You could use a cream containing kojic acid, arbutin, liquorice and niacinamide at bedtime.
You could get glycoloic acid based peels done by a dermatologist.
Oral glutathione capsules are emerging as a new promising treatment to lighten complexion. You could discuss with your dermatologist if it will benefit you.
Have a healthy diet rich in antioxidants.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
