My face used to be lighter than my hands but over rhe years my face has gotten darker than my hands about a shade or two. I walk home from school everyday in the hot Arizona sun so I think that may be one of the reasons why. What can I do to avoid getting any darker and lightening what the sun has already made dark?
Hello, I can understand your concern for the dark skin and remedies to lighten the skin tone. After analyzing your query I can make out that you have sun tanning of the affected areas. I suggest you to do the best of the sun protection to get the earliest relief. You can use good broad spectrum sunscreen to be used for 2-3 times daily. Eat best of diet with a lot of fruits and green vegetables on daily basis. Do not try to use any skin lightening agent as self application. I suggest you to reduce your weight if on higher side. In your kind of cases I generally prescribe skin lightening agents such as comic acid or albumin to be applied at nighttime. You can meet a dermatologist to get further guidance regarding the treatment for dark skin color. All the best.
