I've been using Skineal and other lightening creams since I was 10, but I stopped two years ago. Now, I've noticed that my naturally fair skin depends on these products. How can I stop using them without losing my natural skin color, and is there a safe way to restore it?

stop using lightening creams and focus on a gentle skincare routine with moisturizing and sunscreen to protect and heal your skin. Be patientyour skin needs time to recover. If you notice irritation or uneven tone, consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance.
