Question 1

my face is a bit darker than my body due sun exposure. is it possible to lighten it naturally (like turmeric and lemon masks)? i already wear sunblock

Accepted Answer

Careful: Please do not put lemon on your face. It will lighten your hair but just irritate your skin and can lead to more darkening. Lemon juice on skin that has sun exposure can darken. See an aesthetician or dermatologist to find creams that are safe for your skin and skin type.

Accepted Answer

Identity Confusion: I understand your distress.
See a Gynecologist for symptoms of itching, discomfort, discharge, or concern about hyperpigmentation.
Discuss reasons of hyperpigmentation, your discomfort about it; if it is normal, 
See Psychiatrist for stresses of relationship with boyfriends, sexuality, separation, peer pressure for certain appearance, use of  alcohol and drugs; and to establish your Identity.

Question 5

could i use vicco turmeric cream for my face?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Vicco turmeric is a cream with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.  One of the ingredients (sandalwood oil) is comedogenic, so if you are prone to breakouts, this may worsen them.

Question 6

Too frequent: Your skin is delicate, and the oils it produces are important to it maintaining its health.
Daily masks would be overly drying and irritating to your skin.

neem & turmeric face wash for acne.... will they work ?

Accepted Answer

A few options: For over the counter methods try using products that have benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, alcohol, and acetone. For prescription treatments you may be prescribed antibiotics, retinoids or vitamin a derivatives, azelaic acid, oral contraceptives, or spironolactone. Always ask a dermatologist about the possible affects and the risks vs benefits of each treatment. Make sure it's best for you.
