For rough, dry, and dark skin, I recommend a dual approach. First, restore moisture using a cream containing ceramides, urea, or hyaluronic acid to soften the texture. Second, to address the darkness, look for creams containing niacinamide, lactic acid, or alpha-arbutin, which gently exfoliate and brighten the skin. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily during the day, as dry skin is highly sensitive to sun-induced darkening. Avoid harsh soaps and hot water. If symptoms persist, please consult a dermatologist to rule out underlying conditions like eczema or hormonal imbalances.
