It is completely normal for the face to appear darker than the hands due to sun exposure, tanning, and environmental factors. This does not indicate any disease and many people naturally have slightly different skin tones in different parts of the body.
Next Steps
• Use a gentle face wash twice daily and apply a good moisturizer suitable for the skin type.
• Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30–50) daily, even when indoors, as sun exposure is the most common reason for facial tanning.
• A dermatologist may suggest mild brightening ingredients such as vitamin C, niacinamide, or azelaic acid if tanning or pigmentation is present.
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Avoid using fairness creams or steroid-containing creams, as they can damage the skin.
• Encourage her confidence—skin tone varies naturally and healthy skin is more important than fairness.
• With proper skincare and sun protection, skin tone can gradually become more even over time.
If needed, she can consult online with me for a personalized skincare routine.

Hi there...
If this query is regards your 20 yr old daughter, you will be the first to admit that taking her into confidence in whatever action plan we conceive is in your best interests.
Some clear digital pics, brief history and a direct discussion with her in tow either In-person at our Bangalore clinic or Online using this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation is probably best 🙏
I could recommend a tailor made formulation for de tanning that is dispensed by a pharmacist.
Health Tips
Avoid OTC products, home remedies, self medication and Google suggestions 🙏
