Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms it is a common problem with many individuals that the colour of body is lighter than the face and it is commonly due to exposure of facial skin to all kind of irritants like sunlight, atmospheric heat and cold etc while the other parts of body are covered under clothes..

Nothing to worry, start using Kojic Acid containing creams like Kojivit or Kojicare or other brands available in your area, apply twice a day after washing your face with a mild facewash.
For lubricating the face Aloevera gel is a good option.
Apply Vitamin E gel over face.
Exfoliate your face and neck with a mild face scrub as it will help in shedding off dead skin and dirt from face and clean the pores.
Wash your face 3 to 4 times a day.
Drink plenty of water as it helps in maintaining skin turgor and gives shine.
Always apply a SPF 50 containing Sunscreen lotion on your face,neck and other exposed body parts before exposing to sun.

I cannot guarantee that you will see results overnight but do atleast for 3 to 4 months and gradually the skin will lighten up..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
