If you mean overall: that can be what is know as actinic bronzing which is basically sun damaged skin (remember tan mom?). First start wearing sunscreen every day, second add an exfoliant to your skin like an alpha or beta hydroxy acid or even lactic acid, then add something in the retinoic acid family (OTC retinol or prescription strength retin A). Finally see your dermatologist to get on stronger topicals or to disc
