Suggest Remedy To Even Skin Tone After Getting Tanned
My 13 years old daughter spent alot of time in the pool therefore in the sun on her summer break. Now her skin in the center around her nose, under her mouth nd her forehead is a different lighter tone from the rest of her face. It is very obvious and looks pretty bad like something is drastically wrong with her face. What can i use to even out her skin tone fast. I had her exfoliating but think that didnt help.

Hii
It seems from your complains that the girl may be having hypopigmentation on forehead, nose and below mouth. It may be a condition called as pityriasis alba or post-sun burn hypopigmentation
On treatment part use good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 25 once in morning(repeat before sun-exposure) and apply tacrolimus 0.03% ointment (Takfa) once at night only on lighter areas
It will take around 4-6 weeks for skin tone to become normal
Thanks
