A member asked:
My upper lip is darker than my whole face so it looks like i have a moustache if i put on sunscreen everyday even though there's no sun will this help?

Unlikely: Increased pigmentation can be due to many causes like hormones, acne, reaction to cosmetics etc. Sunscreen may help prevent the area getting darker but you should go to a dermatologist and see why you have this in the first place.
