    Cosmetically, sunless tanner is a great option. It will kind of work like camouflage for your skin. Also, be sure to moisturize regularly to improve the overall appearance of your skin, If you use a lot of moisturizer, your skin will be more hydrated and elastic, so it will have a better texture and look.
