I've been going for swimming classes lately, and I've noticed that my skin is getting tanned even though I'm using sunscreen. I'm really hoping to get rid of this tan quickly. Can you suggest any effective detanning creams or something I can apply on my hands and face to help fade the tan?

I'm considering getting another chemical peel for my acne because a doctor recommended it and also suggested using a skin lightening cream. I'm curious if it's okay to go ahead with both treatments. Would you say that using the skin whitening cream and continuing with the chemical peel is a safe and effective plan, or should I be concerned about any side effects or issues? What do you think I should do?

-Yes, you can continue with the chemical peels and skin-lightening cream if recommended by your doctor. Follow their advice closely, use sunscreen daily, and monitor your skin's response to avoid irritation.
