Q: If you suffer from pigmentation on and around your nose and also have dry skin, why?

A: Over exposure to the sun can cause pigmentation. Use a SPF 50 sunscreen daily. Bleaching and skin peeling are two effective methods used to cure pigmentation.

Mix two tbsp milk powder, 20 volume hydrogen peroxide and a few drops of glycerine to make a paste. Apply it on the affected area. Leave it on for 20 minutes, and rinse. Follow this routine twice a week. After rinsing, if your skin feels dry, use a generous amount of moisturiser.

Break Vitamin E capsules and mix it with a few drops of castor oil. Apply it on the pigmented area. This is another effective remedy for pigmentation.
