My skin is getting darker and darker day by day. I don't prefer to go in sunlight as it makes my skin tan. Some of my friend has suggested me to have coconut water daily in morning so I started that but don't know its a myth or it actually works. Can you please guide? Whether tea is harmful for skin? Does it actually makes skin dark? Guide me regarding remedies which makes my skin fair or anything which I should avoid to stop making it more dark. Thank you so much in anticipation.

Hello lybrate-user, you can use gel based sunscreen lotions. Ultraviolet rays are present even on a cloudy day so it is important to wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen every day. That is because ultraviolet light reaches the earth's surface and the surface of your skin at all times. Melasma can be treated by skin creams which can be prescribed only by a dermatologist after complete history and examination. If the topical creams do not work then we have laser therapy. There are various kind of laser therapy is available but which one is most suitable for your can only be suggested by a dermatologist. A series of laser treatments may be necessary. It usually requires 6 or more treatments two weeks apart. Each patient is unique and requires a different number of treatment sessions. The number of treatments depends on how dark the discoloration is, how deep the pigment is and the natural color of the skin.
