Face & hands darker than body skin
Hello Doctor,
I’m 31 years old, and I’ve noticed that the skin on my face and hands is becoming darker compared to the rest of my body. I live in a place with consistently cool and pleasant weather, and I’m rarely exposed to direct sunlight. I usually walk around 12,000 steps a day on average.
I have dry skin and I follow a regular skincare routine using good-quality products — including a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, SPF 50+ sunscreen, and AHA/BHA serums. Despite this, there’s been no noticeable improvement in my facial skin tone.
Could you please help me understand what might be causing this and guide me on what I can do differently?
Thank you.
