How To Brighten up Dull Skin: Ask IMBB

Ask IMBB Gang

Shreya asks:

Hi you wonderful people,

I am getting engaged in July and marriage has also been planned soon! I am a little concerned about my dry and dull skin. I have had dry skin always and it looks patchy with dark circles. Though I am now very particular about applying sunscreen, I need suggestions from you about good products that will brighten my skin and take away the dark tanned patches! I don’t mind expensive products; just that it has to be quickly effective.

You guys are doing a great job IMBB, inspires me to be an entrepreneur 🙂 Thanks in advance for all your help.

Regards

    1. First of all, congratulations Shreya *pompom* *pompom* *pompom* *pompom*

      Start with drinking lots of water to keep your skin hydrated. Follow CTM routine religiously with good quality stuff – I would recommend MAC and Clinique stuff. Use homemade face packs like this one:

      or honey + lemon to brighten up skin tone – honey acts as a humectant and vitamin C in lemon will help brighten up your skin tone.

      You could also check out Dr. Reddy’s strea vitamin C capsules. Keep your skin protected all the time by using a good spf sunscreen.

      1. Thank you so sp much Jomol. 😛 I have read a lot of reviews of Clarins and Clinique products on IMBB. do you or Rati have any preference between the two?

    2. I totally agree with jomol… Water.. Sunscreen… And ctm…. These are the keys… And I would also like to add regular exfoliation to the regimen…. Always wear sunglasses when u step outside…. Congrats on ur impending engagement and marriage… Wish u a happy future ahead

      1. Thank you so much Arpita.. I am very particular about sunscreen now.. just thinking how the tan would go off which is already there.

    3. Ohhh… There are many tan removal packs available in market… The one I personally opt for is vlcc clear tan fruit face pack… Also many home made remedies are available on IMBB… Go through them… It takes a bit of time… But ultimately u will succeed… Good luck

    4. congrats for u marrige *clap* … u knw what i feel is that sunblock/screens are damaging my skin cells by making free radicals, i just DONT AGREE with the theory of slathering tons n tons of sunblock when u step out. chemical sunblocks are more damaing to skin cells than physical. ones. I highly avoid them . so in tht case its doing more harm than good.
      u shuld avoid sun as much as possible (10am to 4 pm is peak)
      alwys carry umbrella
      wear protective clothing( help to great extent )
      i feel makeup also creates a barrier against sun so thts good enough reason to look pretty.
      *happydance*

      as u have dry skin , use biotique pistachio face pack. its a hydrating mask. it is so emolient that it literally attract water from air.. lolz rofl use as per ur need.
      good luck

      1. hey Khush that sounds scary yaar 🙁 I have been using a lot of sunscreen along with umbrella and sunglasses.. I have never been a fan of biotique but now that you say it, I will try

    5. Try La Roche Posay products. I used the effaclar range (effaclar duo, effaclar M) and anthelios range sunscreen in the past and was very happy with the results.

        1. They are available in India in Health and Glow stores in cities. You can order them online from medplusbeauty.com website.

    6. Try Kama Ayurveda Nalpamaradi Tailam. Its their recent launch and helps like anything to get rid of tan and gives you glowing even skin tone. i have been personally using this product for two months and is highly satisfied. i work as space marketing manager which involves whole lot of travelling thus cant avoid sun during peak hours and this product is my savior. Also if you can, start taking Acai berry supplements. they boost your internal health helps in weight loss and gives fab result for skin and hair.
      All the best Girl 🙂

      1. Thannnnnk you Smriti.. this sounds just like the product I was looking for…will buy it this weekend *clap* *powder* *powder*
