Can I use HH sone cream as a night cream to help with skin brightening? If that's not a good idea, could you recommend some other night creams that would be effective for brightening? I'm really curious about what would work best for me.

Question

I've recently stopped using Medisalic, which I'd been using for a couple of years due to a skin allergy. I'm looking for some cream and face wash options that won't have side effects and can help keep my skin healthy and glowing. Can you suggest anything?

Question

I'm really concerned because every time I drink alcohol, I start itching all over my body afterwards. Like, last week, I had some beer, and two days later, the itching began. Is this normal, or should I be worried about an allergic reaction or something? I'd really appreciate your advice on what might be causing this.

Question

I've developed this dark and rough skin on the sides of my nose, and while it doesn't itch much, it's been bothering me for about 3-4 months now. I scratched it once out of irritation, and that only made it worse. Though it's reduced a bit since then, I'm still not seeing much improvement. I tried using lemon juice, but it burned, so I've switched to aloe gel, but it doesn't seem to be helping either. Any idea what might be causing this and what I could do to make it better?
