the best ways to care for your skin are enough sleep, drink enough water, milk, exercise, balance diet, fruits, lots of leafy vegetables, and sunscreen....you wont go wrong with those....for hair, I use aloe vera before I sleep, though I only apply on weekends....about skin whitening, try not to use any...we're beautiful as we are....our brown skin keeps us away from skin cancer, better love our skin....another thing for skin, dont pick on your pimples, dont touch your face often with unwashed fingers, and on hot days, relieve your skin by rubbing ice all over your face, your arms and even legs...heat is the number one enemy of our skin
