Usage of oil on face depends on skin type. In persons with oily skin, additional application of oil must be avoided to prevent clogging of pores. In persons with dry or flaky skin, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the skin. Coconut oil, almond oil are some of the natural oils which are good for skin.

What's the difference between Melback and Melgain, and how exactly does Melgain work? Would appreciate any advice on how to use it properly.

I'm struggling with a serious sun tan that's really been a nightmare for me. My skin darkens very quickly whenever I'm out in the sun, and its gotten to the point where there are obvious lines between the areas that are sun-exposed and those that arent. Could you suggest a remedy for this? Also, how can I reverse the tanning effect and basically detan my skin?
