Why my face is dark

2017-02-23 09:44:04
I've observed that my arms and my face are very darker than my body and shoulders. Why this much difference? Is it possible to get skin like my remaining body. Does sun really effects this much if I never use sunscreen?

Our skin colour depends on many factors like genetics,sun exposure, occupation, product that we use, hormones etc.skin colour on d exposed area is slightly darker than d covered area.u need to use a good sunscreen daily at least 3times a day even if indoors.have lots of fruits N veggies.u may need to use certain medicated lightening creams after consulting a dermatologist if needed.
