Fair Face, Darken Skin Body. Treatment?
Hi, am naturally dark in complextion. I want to become lighter as in my skin tone. But it seems like the skin lightner I use (bath soap and lotion) only works on my face , leaving me with my already dark body and a fair face. And its so embarrasing in public. Please how do I get an even skin tone that matches my face?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks for posting the qwery.
It is not possible to alter complexion of a person but the areas which are pigmented due to sun exposure or other factors can be lightened by treatment. Proper sunscreen is recommended on exposed areas and skin brightening agents can be used to reduce melanin deposition which leads to skin darkening.
Advised proper dermatological consultation and cosmetic treatments if required.
