How can a boy with dark skin become fairer?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Wenmin

For males with dark skin who wish to achieve a lighter complexion, the following methods may help:

1. Sun protection: Use sunscreen with a high SPF, avoid prolonged sun exposure, reduce UV damage to the skin, and prevent further darkening.

2. Balanced diet: Consume foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, and antioxidants, such as lemons, tomatoes, and carrots. These foods help reduce melanin production and brighten the skin tone.

3. Use skin-lightening skincare products: Choose products containing whitening ingredients such as vitamin C, arbutin, and niacinamide, and use them as directed. These can help inhibit melanin deposition and improve skin tone.

4. Avoid unhealthy habits such as chronic sleep deprivation, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption, as these can negatively affect skin health and appearance.
