My skin becomes dark day by day

Dear Patient: Skin is very important when it comes to aesthetic issues, hence any conditions regarding skin are matter of concern.

Due to exposure to city life full of pollution, dust and heat the skin dries up pretty quickly. Exposure to UV rays in the sun also induce production of melanin which turn our skin dark.

Hence its better to take optimum precautions such as using plenty of moisturizers and Sunscreen lotions before going out , which would protect your skin from all these pollutants. Taking a Sunscreen with higher spf is always better.

Washing your face frequently with plenty of fresh water will help cleaning it as well as will hydrate it. But dont use soap which would dry the skin more. Consultation with a Dermatologist will help you with further precautions you can take to prevent your skin from loosing its texture and color. Good luck.
