I've already asked many times about face lightening but no one has told natural lightening. Face has become very dark compared to neck and I'm embarrassed about uneven skin. Pls ayurvedic home remedy for this? Could you list some creams found on American market- and actually EFFECTIVE? Blood tests normal-no iron deficiency. Started wearing sunscreen a yr ago. Sensitive skin. Only one in family with uneven skin tone and sensitivity problems. Pls give details? Thank you. Arms, legs, neck etc much lighter than face, which is especially dark in mouth area----chin. At this age, it's important to get things cleared. Patanjali kanti lepa makes things worse I heard from some friends..!):

Based on your description, it appears that you have facial melanosis which could be compounded by acanthosis nigricans. These conditions have a strong relation to one's internal health and it needs to be evaluated as often quoted - Skin is the mirror of internal health. Attempting treatment without understanding the pathology will be futile and make the course longer. Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation. Internal health needs to be fixed based on blood chemistry reports. Apart from active pharmaceutical medicines, a healthy diet and lifestyle is mandatory to achieve results.
Next Steps
A good skin care regimen comprises 4 steps - cleansing, toning, moisturizing and sunblock.
