I've been using a fair soap with ingredients like Liquorice extract, Aloe Vera, Vitamin C, Apple juice, and Tamarind extract. I'm worried there might be some side effects from it. Can you tell me if using these ingredients on my skin might cause any issues?

I'm worried because my skin is really sensitive to the sun. I've been using Suncrose 50, but I stopped using it for a few days and ended up with a sunburn. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Kojiglo cream to help with the sunburn?

You cannot use kojiglo cream for sunburn as it typically used for skin lightening and pigmentation issues.For sunburn treatment apply a cold compress, use a gentle moisturiser, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, consider using pain relief meds if needed.

That could be fungal infcetion,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatmen,personal hygiene is more important for a better result.
