Hi. My skin type is oily and it gets darker when I'm exposed to sun for even 5 mins. I use branded sun screen with spf 30 but still of no use. I have 3 questions which are interrelated 1. Is there any efficient treatment to get back my skin tone, especially on my face and hands which are the worst affected parts 2. Please suggest me a good sun screen or bloc, summer in chennai is too hot to handle. 3. Is it really possible to improve your skin colour and get rid of marks and patches through peals, laser etc. And is it safe to do it.

* first of all start using a sun blocking cream with spf more than 40. * if not using sun blocking agent then cover your face with a scarf when ever going out. * avoid too spicy and oily food * take 6-8 glasses of water. * use lemon n honey for scrabbling face once a week n then apply rose water. All these measures will definitely help you in curving your problems.

1. To combat chennai sun use physical protective measures like umbrella and scarf 2. It is always good to use sunscreen sunscreen more spf 50 is good coz we don't always always use required amount to get desired spf 3. Aveeno protect and hydrate spf 50 neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch sun block spf 50 uv doux spf 50 are some of the good n economical sunscreen available in the market 4. Using sunscreen only once is not enough you have to re-apply it every 3 hrs once ideally 20 minutes before you step out in to the sun. (aveeno claims to be long acting-8 hrs so single application but not sure of it. You can give it a try) 5. It's possible to improve your skin tone through chemical peels and laser treatments but you have to be patient it takes time and frequent visits to dermatologist/cosmetologist you may have to visit every 15 days or every month to follow up your sessions hope my is useful.
