My skin has become tanned and oily due to outdoor work; which medicated skin cream should I use to treat this?
To address both oiliness and tanning, I recommend a simple daily routine. For the excess oil, use a face wash containing salicylic acid, which helps clear pores. To treat the tan, apply a cream containing glycolic acid, kojic acid, or niacinamide at night; these ingredients gently exfoliate and brighten the skin. Most importantly, always protect your skin during outdoor work by applying a broad-spectrum, gel-based or matte-finish sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) during the day. This prevents further tanning and allows your skin to heal. Ensure you use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin balanced.
