EAT MULTIVITAMIN DAILY
Many cases of pigmentation fail to respond because they have nutritional deficiencies. We recommend eating multivitamins for three months to replenish the deficient stores and aid in skin rejuvenation from within. You can choose from this list of multivitamins.
In addition, focus on a diet rich in minerals and anti-oxidants as listed in this article, Diet for good skin and Hair
PEEL ONCE A MONTH
If your skin is not sensitive and your skin does not brighten up with the above products, then use Minimalist Peel once a month to exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin. It is essential to follow the instructions given in this article, Chemical Peeling-Dermatologist Guide. Otherwise, your skin might turn darker, especially if peel causes redness or irritation while using.
