I'm really worried about my skin. I've been using face bleach for the past year, and whenever I stop, it seems like my skin gets even darker. Is there any medication or treatment you'd recommend to lighten my skin safely? Also, I've noticed my skin is getting pretty loose lately. What can I do to tighten it back up?
