A member asked:

My arms and face is darker than my body due to excessive expose of sun...it looks really weird. how do i get my natural complexion back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Use a sunscreen: If you use a broad spectrum high spf sunscreen daily and avoid sun exposure at peak hours between 10 am and 4 pm, your skin will gradually return back to its normal tone.
