I'm curious if using a ready-made Aloe Vera Gel mixed with Vitamin E is a good idea for lightening the dark patches on my face. I've been advised by a doctor on Practo to use SPF 30 for extra protection, but I'm wondering if this Aloe Vera and Vitamin E mix might be beneficial for my skin concerns. What do you think?

Aloe vera gel and vitamin E can be a good combination to help reduce dark patches on the face. Here's why:
- Aloe vera gel has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help soothe and calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation.
- Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to dark patches.
- Vitamin E also has skin-lightening properties, which can help reduce the appearance of dark patches.
However, keep in mind:
- It's essential to choose a readymade aloe vera gel that is pure and free of harsh chemicals.
- Vitamin E can be quite thick, so you may want to mix it with a few drops of a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba oil to make it easier to apply.
- Always do a patch test before applying any new skincare mixture to your face to ensure you don't have any sensitivity or allergic reactions.
- Consistency is key! Apply the mixture regularly, ideally once or twice a day, and be patient as it may take some time to see results.
Remember to consult with a dermatologist if the dark patches persist or worsen. They can provide personalized advice and help you identify the underlying cause of the dark patches.
Also, don't forget to use SPF 30 as recommended by your doctor to protect your skin from further damage!

Hey, I've been taking Follihair tablets for over a year now, and I've just picked up another year's supply. Do you think it's okay to keep using them for this long? Also, I've noticed that the ingredients have changed a bit. The old tablets had 10 mg of biotin, but the new ones only have 30 mcg, along with some other new vitamins and minerals. With such a big difference in biotin, do you think the new tablets will still work as well as the old ones? I'm mainly asking because biotin is supposed to be a key ingredient for hair growth, right?
Biotin is indeed an important ingredient for promoting hair growth, but the newly added vitamins and minerals in the new formulation may also contribute to overall hair health. It is advisable to continue using the new formulation and monitor any changes in hair growth or health. It is generally safe to use follihair tablets for an extended period of time, as they are commonly used for hair growth and hair health.
