hi
face,neck and hands are expose part.
they expose more to sun light,dust,wind,dirt,pollution as compare to other part of body.
so they r more darker then other part
most common cause is ultra violet radiation of sun.
use sunscreen with spf more then 25 twice a day.
wear gloves or full sleeve cloths

NORMALLY, SUN EXPOSED PARTS ARE DARKER THAN THE UNEXPOSED PARTS.DUE TO SUN LIGHT, OUR MELANIN PIGMENT SECRETION (BLACK PIGMENTATION) IS INCREASED IN THE SKIN. THIS IS THE REASON FOR DARKER SHADE COLOUR ON YOUR FACE AND HANDS THAN ANY OTHER PARTS.FOR PREVENTIVE MEASURES, YOU MAY USE THE MOISTURES, SUN SCREEN PROTECTIVES MEASURES ETC.
