Can you reduce skin darkening that was caused by the sun?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin dark from sun: The best way to reduce skin that is darkened from the sun is to stop the exposure to the sun. Over time this pigment will fade on its own if to cease exposure and your skin will return to its natural color especially if you are only 17yo.
