It is unfortunate that you are suffering from so many skin and hair problems simultaneously, but the problems that you are experiencing are quite common, and can usually be solved quite easily. The "whitening" that you have mentioned is a bit confusing - are you looking to whiten your skin or are you noticing white patches on your skin? In the former case, there is not much you can do except for reducing your exposure to sunlight. You cannot lighten your natural skin color, you can only ensure that your skin does not get tanned. In the latter case - if you have noticed white patches on your skin - you can simply wait and watch, and if the patches do not disappear within a week or so, you should visit a doctor. The patches may be due to some temporary irritation or dryness, in which case they will disappear on their own. If the patches do not disappear, they will need medical attention, as they could indicate a fungal infection or a skin disorder such as vitiligo.
The dryness and the dull look of your skin are two related problems - the basic problem is that your skin lacks moisture. Addressing this problem requires several measures in the areas of diet and skin care. Your diet should include plenty of fruits and vegetables, and should also include other foods such as whole grain, dairy products, and if possible, meat as well, as protein and certain vitamins are best obtained from meat. You should also ensure that you drink around 8 glasses of water a day, depending on your lifestyle and the climate you live in. Dehydration is a common cause of dry, dull skin.
As for direct skin care, a regular face scrub of oatmeal and milk should do the trick. In addition, you can also apply a mixture of honey and turmeric powder for fifteen minutes everyday, and then wash it off with plain water. If these measures do not help, then you need to use a moisturizing lotion or cream as well. The best time to do this is soon after you have bathed, when your skin is still damp.
The dietary measures described above should help reduce your hair fall too. In addition, you should oil your hair regularly, preferably with coconut oil. If this does not stop the hair fall, you should visit a specialist - however, remember that some amount of hair fall is completely normal.
Dark circles are usually the result of an allergy and nasal congestion, so you will need to ask your doctor about this problem, as it is not really the skin itself that has become discolored, but the blood vessels beneath that have become more prominent.
