Dietary advice for dark skin Is the darkening of your skin abnormal or is it simply due to a lot of exposure to sunlight? If you tend to be out in the sun a lot, it is only natural that you skin color will become darker. If this is the case, your skin will gradually and automatically return to its normal color once you reduce your exposure to sunlight. Avoid spending too much time in the sun, and if you must go out, cover yourself adequately and use a sunscreen with a high SPF value. However, there are also several disorders that have hyperpigmentation as a side effect. If you think this may be the case, you should visit a doctor.
Dark circles under the eyes are unrelated to the darkening of the rest of your skin. These circles are due to the blood vessels in this area being unusually prominent, rather than due to increased melanin production. The causes of this condition are many — lack of sleep, certain medications, anemia, and allergies. If one of these seems to be the cause, try to address it, either on your own (if the problem is simply a lack of sleep) or with the help of your doctor. In addition, a popular and effective remedy is placing wet tea bags or slices of cucumber on your eyelids.
