I've been working as an assistant professor at an engineering college, and I've been using a skin cream called My Fair for about two months. But just last week, I went to my village and spent a lot of time working under the sun in the fields. This made my skin turn extremely dark. My friend, who recommended the cream, said I should have used sunscreen when going out. Thankfully, my skin's back to normal with the same cream, but I'm really troubled by what happened. Can you give me some advice on how to prevent this in the future and how to deal with this dependency on the cream? Id really appreciate some guidance.

I'm thinking about using Melaglow rich cream again because my skin returned to its original condition after I stopped using it two years ago. Do you think it's a good idea to give it another try? And for someone new to this cream, are there any possible side effects I should be aware of?

-Yes, you can use Melaglow Rich again, as it's effective for improving skin tone, but results fade if not maintained. Its generally safe but may cause mild irritation in somedo a patch test first. For lasting results, combine with sunscreen and a go

My lips have gotten thicker from biting them over the years. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments? I'm worried about side effects or if the results might turn out worse, especially since it's getting more noticeable as I age and doesn't look great. What are my options?

While lip reduction surgery is the most definitive solution for thickening caused by lip biting, other treatments can help reduce the appearance and address the biting habit. These include non-surgical options like makeup, facial exercises, and staying hydrated, as well as treatments to stop lip biting itself.
