Suggest Remedy For Dark Facial Skin
Hello, I m 19 years old, and my skin colour is quite fair, but recently I ve noticed I ve gone darker in shade, around 2/3 shades darker, I live in the UK so it s not sunny here often, I wouldn t say I have a tan. there also hasn t been a change in my diet, I don t drink or smoke. I was wondering if you could let me know some reasons of why it has gone darker, and also if there s anything I can eat or do to make my skin colour how it was before because I was happy with it. Thank you

You can take any of them.The following should be procedure to use it.
1. Wash your face in evening around 7.
