It is very common for skin to lose its glow due to sun exposure, pollution, or stress. To restore brightness and even out your skin tone, look for over-the-counter creams containing generic ingredients like Vitamin C (for brightening), Niacinamide (to reduce dullness), or Kojic acid and Glycolic acid (to gently exfoliate and lighten dark spots). Most importantly, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, as sun protection is key to preventing further darkening. Introduce new products gradually and always perform a patch test first. If you do not see improvement in a few weeks, consider consulting a dermatologist for a tailored treatment plan.
