Before anybody criticizing me for this, I want to say from the get go I'm not trying to whiten my skin! Up to even a few years ago I had a fair complexian for an east indian but over the past few years have noticed that certain areas like my knees, elbows, face and neck have darkened. I don't know what the reason for this is and I've thought about going to a dermatologist but found myself to embarrassed to ask. I just want to even out my skin tone to how it was a few years ago and any help on what I could use or try would be a greatly appreciated!

Thank You

Hi thanks, you don't have to be embarrassed about wanting to lighten or even skin tone. There is nothing wrong with wanting an even glowing complextion.
I have been using Diana Stalder products and they have been working for me slowly but surely. I also found this website which might be a good resource for getting info about skin lightening. Make sure to read the section on sunscreen because that is the first line of defense against skin aging and discoloration.

Hope that helps!
