I've been using Melacare for a long time, but then I started traveling a lot for work between Pune and Mumbai, and my skin is now completely sunburned and darker.

I'm really worried about my hair fall recently. Is there something you can recommend for this? A friend mentioned BBM Liner with calcium pantothenate, biotin, and N-Acetyl cystine, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Do you have any other suggestions?
