I'm a 26-year-old guy living in Mumbai. I used to have a fair complexion, but after years of sun exposure and not really taking care of my skin, my face, hands, and neck have become visibly darker. If I stay indoors for a few days, my skin lightens up a bit, but I can't really do that since I have to work. My body's skin is quite fair, and with my wedding coming up soon, I want to get back to my old skin tone on my face and hands. Can you suggest any daily home remedies or maybe pills like glutathione for this? How safe is it to take glutathione? Are there any side effects, and how likely are they to happen? Also, if I start using it, would the skin tone change be long-lasting, or would I have to keep taking the pills to maintain it?

To help regain your lost complexion and lighten your skin tone, you can consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or azelaic acid. These can help lighten dark spots and even out skin tone. Additionally, using a daily sunscreen with high SPF can prevent further darkening of the skin due to sun exposure.
