I'm really worried because my skin has become much darker over the past few years, and I just want to get back to my natural skin tone. It's really surprising how dark my skin has become, and I'm wondering if theres any permanent treatment, medicine, or lotion that can help prevent sun tan and other causes of skin darkening. Do you have any advice or suggestions?
