Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain the colour of your body defines your actual skin colour that is genetically acquired by you since birth and the darkening of the skin of the face is due to a number of conditions like sun tan, exposure to variety of harmful chemicals present in atmospheric air, smoking, use of harsh chemical cosmetics , stress etc..
As you have a lighter skin tone of body than your facial skin it can be improved to the extent of slightly less than or equal to your body..
You can wash your face with glycolic acid and salicylic acid containing face wash like AHA glow, Melaglow and others.
Apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
Exfoliate your face using a mild scrub and apply vitamin E gel or oil at night.
Drink plenty of water, take Vitamin C supplements and prevent sun exposure..
Always apply a SPF 50 containing sunscreen lotion when ever you expose to sun..

You can also consult a Dermatologist and go for photofacial, microdermabrasion and dermal rollers..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
