To get good skin and a glowing face without using cosmetics, you can start by maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins. Regular exercise also improves blood circulation, which can give your skin a healthy glow. Protect your skin from the sun by using sunscreen daily and wearing protective clothing. To remove dark spots, you can try using products containing ingredients like hydroquinone, retinoids, or vitamin C. These can help lighten dark spots and even out your skin tone. Additionally, incorporating a skincare routine with products like a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and exfoliant can help improve the overall appearance of your skin.

I've been using Lobate GM cream for a while because it really gave me the fair skin I wanted, so I kept using it for over a year. But I got kind of dependent on it, needing to use it daily. When I stopped, my skin got red and rough. A doctor helped me fix it in a couple of months, but now my skin has gotten too dark and lost its glow. I'm wondering if it's okay to start using Lobate GM cream again to get my skin back to being fair?

Yes, Continue same medications.

I'm thinking about using Fevi Quick to attach fake nails and I'm wondering if it's safe to do so. Since nails are essentially made of dead cells, could this cause any harm to my real nails? I'm curious if there are any side effects I should be aware of, or if it's something I could just try once without worrying too much.

I'm trying to figure out which soap is better for my skin, Dermadew or Kojic, because my doctor recommended Dermadew along with Melaglow cream. I'm just wondering if I should stick with that advice or consider other options. Can you help?

Dermadew soap is generally considered better than Kojic soap due to its gentler and non-comedogenic properties, which suit most skin types, whereas Kojic soap can be harsh and drying; pairing Dermadew soap with Melaglow cream, which contains kojic acid, vitamin E, and glycerin, can help in skin brightening, hyperpigmentation reduction, and moisturizing, making it a suitable combination for skin tone evening and glow enhancement.
