Exposed areas have a tendency to photo age hence the skin tone and texture both changes. It is important to cover the hands while going out Use a broad spectrum sunscreen with zinc oxide and octinoxate At night on darker skin patches apply steroid free lightening cream With regular treatment and care within 3 months visible results will be seen
