A. can use any mild baby skin product Massage well.
Keep your baby’s skin moisturized with a good mild body lotion as dry skin tends to look darker.
Feed well to flush out all the toxins from the body.

A. Hello dear parent, it is little difficult to regain the colour back. As due to photo therapy, usually skin colour gets darker. Yu ou can only help to keep your skin of good quality by using good products and giving healthy to eat.
