Is it alright to put on aloe vera gel before applying sunscreen? I'm worried if it might cause my skin to darken or have some other effect. Any advice on this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Wearing aloe vera gel before applying sunscreen is generally okay, as aloe vera has soothing and moisturizing properties that can help calm the skin; however, some aloe vera products may contain aloin, a compound that can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, potentially leading to darkening or discoloration, so choose an aloin-free aloe vera gel and apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 afterwards to ensure adequate protection.

View allI'm really worried because I've been using a cream with hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone for nearly two years. When I stopped, my face turned really dark, almost black, and its been like this for the last 67 months. The rest of my body looks normal, so it's like my face doesn't match at all. I'm just wondering if this darkness will go away on its own if I leave it alone, or am I stuck like this? I'm seriously concerned about this and need some advice.
dont use that cream not face again , and start to use regular sun screen, face wash and moitiriser and you can consult dermatologist for a chemical peel and other Rx.

I've had laser therapy about 45 times to get rid of facial hair below my eyes and above my beard line, but I stopped the sessions around a year and a half ago. Now, I'm noticing the hair is growing back on my cheeks. Do I need to go for more sessions to keep it away? And is this something I'll have to do forever? The treatment is pretty expensive at 1600 rupees per session, so I'm not keen on the idea of lifelong sessions. Plus, I'm wondering if my doctor charged me more than usual. Are there cheaper laser options available? I really need a permanent and cost-effective solution to get rid of facial hair.
yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
