My skin is getting darker
My skin is getting darker day by day,I don't know why. I have a dry skin and have lots of dark spots and blemishes as well as dark circles. My skin turns red when exposed in the sun and even more darker. I had a Wheaties complexion 2 years ago but gradually started darkening even though I take 7-8 hours of sleep,I neither drink nor smoke and as far as sun exposure is concerned so I rarely go out and even if I do,I do layer my skin with sunscreen. And nowadays my neck is turning darker and rest of my body which was light is also turning darker. What should I do?

Wash your face regularly at least 2-3 times per day...Treatment to dry skin includes hydrate yourself well drink plenty of fluids, avoid using harsh soaps, ‌use cleansing lotions for face n mild soap for body , use moisturizer after showers...Mild to moderate dark circles often respond well to simple and inexpensive treatments, such as: Cold.
