My skin is becoming dry and dark. what can i do to fix it?

Use a daily moisturizer with lactic acid or glycolic acid. In sun exposed areas, use a morning sunblock every day. Most importantly, you should see a PCP for a check up of general symptoms. Many serious internal conditions are associated to that kind of dry, darkish skin ( ichthyosis.)
