face lighter than rest of body :S

the deal is … my face and calves (lower legs) have a lighter complexion than the rest of my body …
i am not a freak over facials .. so i wont say thats the reason for a lighter face … iv seen even the fairest of girls still having a lighter/glowy face than the rest of their body … and it freaks me out to use foundation matched with my face … becuz that would just accentuate it … and i hate pictures of like brides whose arms look of another being and face looks like a copy/paste job …
as for legs … my lower legs are lighter than the upper … waxing is not the reason .. as i pay least attention to keeping my thighs hair-free since there isnt much there anyways …
and i look like a chocolate/vanilla icecream that just melted and left various skin tones all over my body :frowning: … of course not in such an exaggerated sense :meeno:

anyone has any idea what i’m talking about? :frowning:

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

I have the opposite problem. My face is tanned (because of exposure to sun) and the rest of my body is so pasty white it's disgusting.

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

i share the same issue :P myface is fairer than the rest of the body :D

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

have you come across any reasons amorox?
candy apple ... the tan is still reversible ... and you know the problem ... but with me ... i dont even know whats going on :(

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

my face is actually darker (but not due to sun exposure or anything, and my neck is so white, so even perfectly matched foundation looks odd

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

farrah do you exfoliate? what kind of clothes/fabric do you wear on a daily basis?

always wear sunscreen

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

yea i do gentle exfoliations on face … not the hard scrubs like the st. ives one …
i have begun using a sunscreen … but my face is lighter :expressionless: … so perhaps i shouldnt :meeno: .. to get it darker … lol … but i am barely ever out in the sun …
and on a regular basis i wear jeans if i’m out … and a shalwar and t-shirt when i’m inside … hahahaha :cb: … i havent worn fancy shmancy cloth materials in like a year or something … no party scene dude :ultra-sad: …
throw me a lift-me-up party chanda!

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

i used to think that almost all the treatments we do and creams we put on are on the face and neck.......maybe thats why the rest of the body is a little darker.. :S

and i drive ALOT!!! and i have Ts with half sleeves so thats quite a huge factor in makng skin darker

i have the same dang problem !! face is lighter then the resr of body..specially arms...n when i wear foundation it looks to so odd tht my face is so lighter n everything else is sooo darkkk...any solution yet ???

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

my face, hands and feet are darker than than the rest of my body. when i put my hands over my legs or my chest, the difference in color is so huge it feels like it's two different bodies. pretty annoying.

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

^ hey marwah … what’s your avatar saying? lol :smiley:

although i do remember watching some tutorials on youtube where girls match their foundation with their neck instead of their face … hmmmmmm … tiffanyD is one of them i think ..
but ab kya khamkha khud ko aur ziada kala kerna … hahahahah …
i took a looksie once more :silly: … and there is a heck of a lot more variation going on :frowning:
lightest areas are the chest and lower legs … slightly darker is my face … then comes the arms and stomach and thighs … WAIT … WHAT THE HELL AM I SAYING … LOL … yea so you get the gist of it :e6:

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

^it's saying "what! what!"

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

I have the same problem, actually even my neck is so differnt than my face and i thought its because of all the products and peels etc i have done. Well, my daughter is the same way and since she is 6 months old only, there is no way she has done anything to promote this :hehe: So i guess its all natural.

Re: face lighter than rest of body :S

i have the same pro
my face my hands and my feet are tan due to sun exposure but when i wear half sleeves or capris it looks weird i really hate it
