One year back my baby’s skin colors was fair, now it is dull and changing into wheat color, please advise some tips to regain fair and glowing color of skin.
If your baby is very young, this is the right time to use home remedies to bring the color back. Her color could have darkened because of deficiency of certain minerals and vitamins. Give special attention to your baby’s diet. Add bright colored fruits that contain beta carotene, which helps maintain the health of the skin. Also if possible, feed her cod liver oil which is rich in many vitamins, especially Vitamin E. In addition, here are some home remedies that you can try.
Home Remedies
