Ive noticed that my face skin has become darker and the texture isnt uniform anymoresome areas are black and others are white. People have commented that my skin looks rough for my age. Theres also no glow, and it feels really dry, almost like its lifeless. What could be causing these changes, and is there anything I can do about it?

It sounds like your skin may be experiencing hyperpigmentation, dryness, and texture irregularities, possibly due to factors like sun exposure, dehydration, or skin barrier damage. Here are some recommendations:
- Drink plenty of water to improve skin hydration from within.
- Use a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer twice daily.
- Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily to prevent further darkening.
- Try a mild exfoliant (like lactic acid) once or twice a week to promote even skin texture. Consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, which may include topical treatments or other therapies to even skin tone and improve texture.
These steps should help improve your skins hydration, glow, and uniformity over time.

Can melalumin lightening cream be used on lips to decrease melanin, or do I need to get the specific melalumin lip lightener? The chemist said it would work, but I'm not sure.
I would advise against using Melalumin lightening cream on your lips, even if the chemist says it will work. Here's why: 1. Formulation differences: Melalumin lightening cream is formulated for skin use, whereas lip skin is more delicate and requires specialized care. Using a skin cream on lips may cause irritation, dryness, or other adverse reactions. 2. Lip safety: Lips lack the protective barrier of skin, making them more susceptible to irritation and damage. Using a skin lightening cream on lips may increase the risk of adverse effects. 3. Specific lip concerns: Lip lightening products, like Melalumin lip lightener, are specifically designed to address lip concerns, such as dryness, pigmentation, and fine lines. They may contain ingredients that are more suitable for lip care. To ensure safety and effectiveness, I recommend using a product specifically designed for lip care, such as Melalumin lip lightener.

I'm an 18-year-old and my hair is just so smooth and silky that it keeps falling out, and it's really hard to keep any hairstyle in place because of that. I'm really hoping to find some solutions to make my hair a bit rougher so I can actually style it the way I want. What can I do to get that kind of texture?
Consider using hair products containing ingredients like sea salt, texturizing sprays, or dry shampoo to add volume and texture, or try hairstyles that work with silky hair, such as braids, buns, or ponytails, and for a more permanent solution, consult a Dermatologist
