Brief Answer:
Overexposing to white light and air condition can be the reason.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem of skin turning dark can be due to overexposure to white light and air condition. Air condition dryness and nourishment of skin.

Covering the skin with adequate clothing and using moisturizers will be helpful. Taking vitamin C and vitamin E supplement and taking more plain water will be helpful. You can use body lotions containing aloe vera and vitamin E which is good also.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
