I'm curious about whether salt water can actually affect my skin color or hair. I've heard that salt in water might turn your skin black or cause grey hair. Since most underground water seems to have salt, should I be worried about any changes in my skin pigment or hair color? Is it true that salt water isn't good for the skin? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give!

I'm Siddhu and I've got some long-term acne scars on both sides of my cheeks. I've tried a bunch of creams, but they just make me look unnatural. So, I'm thinking about using a 0.5mm dermaroller on my face. I'm 18, and I'm really wondering if it's safe to use one at my age? Are there any future risks, or is it completely safe? Can you give me some honest advice and safety tips about using it on my face?

I'm thinking about using vitamin serum and Kojivit cream at the same time to get fairer skin more quickly. Is this a good idea, and how should I apply them? Also, could I take a vitamin C capsule along with them? I'm really curious about whether combining these products is safe and effective, or if there's a specific way to use them for the best results. Can you help me figure this out?
