Hi, I am pretty fit but the only concern is my skin tone. Quiet dark with my skin tone. I somehow don't feel comfortable in the same. I have tried almost all the homemade remedies to improve it but doesn't seems to have any noticeable improvement. I wanted ask if there is any way to improve medically which is safe and light on pocket as well. Do revert asap.

The first and foremost step to lighten your complexion includes avoiding too much sun exposure. Typically, the skin darkens when exposed to sunlight because it produces a substance, called melanin, to protect itself from the harmful solar radiation. Melanin is the pigment that gives color to our hair, eyes, and skin. And the more melanin your skin makes, the darker your skin becomes. Its also great to use sunscreen every time you go outside. As far as lightening products, you can try creams and soaps that contain kojic acid, glutathione, aplha-arbutin, licorice extract, mulberry extract, and Vitamins C, E, and B3. Chemical peel or skin polishing will also prove benefecial for you`.Its best to consult dermatologist to find out which of these options is best for your skin type.
