People with dark skin tones keep applying numerous fairness creams, lotions, foundations, and compact powder to get a lighter skin tone and look fairer. However, using such products every day may damage your skin rather than make it lighter. Some of them may cause severe side effects and even skin cancer.  Setting Expectations: Realistic Goals and Safe Practices Your skin gets darker and develops blemishes and dark spots because of consistent sun exposure, hormonal imbalance, genetics, stress, and medical issues. Harmful UV rays cause sunspots, blotches, and freckles on your skin, which make it appear darker.

Retinol, a type of Vitamin A, which is an ingredient in creams, serums, and lotions, can clearacne and give you a brighter skin tone. How Does it Work? Retinol boosts the production of skin cells and helps in unclogging pores.

Kojic acid is used in beauty products as a skin-whitening element. It can cure skin disorders,such as age spots, acne scars, and sun damage. How Does it Work?

Sun Exposure Consistent sun exposure can damage the elasticity in your skin much quicker than aging. Skin damage caused due to exposure to UVA/UVB rays may affect and mutate its DNA, which causes the death premature cells and the breakdown of elastin and collagen in the epidermis.

The quick volume loss gives less time for your skin to contract properly. It requires a little bit of time to adjust to your new body shape and structure. Smoking. Smoking causes premature aging of your skin. The cigarettes' nicotine content may narrowdown the blood vessels in your skin’s topmost layer, which damages your skin anddecreases nutrients and oxygen in your cells. The cells die when your skin is without natural nutrients, which reduces the production of elastin and collagen in your body.
