I've noticed that my butt and knees are darker than the rest of my body and it bothers me. It just seems unattractive and I'm really hoping to even out my skin tone. I have a brown complexion. What can I do to make it all look more balanced?

To help even out the skin tone on your buttocks and knees, you can consider using a skin lightening cream that contains ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or alpha arbutin. These ingredients can help lighten dark areas of the skin and promote a more even tone. You can try using a cream like Meladerm or Ambi Fade Cream, applying it to the affected areas once or twice a day as directed. Additionally, make sure to exfoliate the skin regularly to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. Remember to use sunscreen on these areas to prevent further darkening from sun exposure.

I'm wondering if Folica hair tincture actually helps increase hair density or if it just manages hair fall? I'm really hoping for a product that can boost the thickness of my hair. If it's only good for controlling hair fall, could you recommend a good hair serum that can really help with increasing hair density?

Folica hair tincture primarily helps to control hair fall. If you are looking to increase the density of your hair, I recommend using Minoxidil solution. You can apply Minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) directly to the scalp twice a day to promote hair growth and increase hair density.
