More sun exposure..: ..is usually the explanation for one's face being darker. Sun exposure increases the secretion of the skin pigment melanin. Dirt, pollution may also contribute. You should be using sun block every day on all sun exposed skin,but it may be difficult to get your face back to the shade of the rest of your body. Consult a Dermatolgoist for expertise: hydroquinone, alezaic acid, possible chemical peel
