Ive noticed that my face skin has become darker and the texture isnt uniform anymoresome areas are black and others are white. People have commented that my skin looks rough for my age. Theres also no glow, and it feels really dry, almost like its lifeless. What could be causing these changes, and is there anything I can do about it?

It sounds like your skin may be experiencing hyperpigmentation, dryness, and texture irregularities, possibly due to factors like sun exposure, dehydration, or skin barrier damage. Here are some recommendations:

1. Drink plenty of water to improve skin hydration from within.
2. Use a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer twice daily.
3. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily to prevent further darkening.
4. Try a mild exfoliant (like lactic acid) once or twice a week to promote even skin texture. Consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, which may include topical treatments or other therapies to even skin tone and improve texture.

These steps should help improve your skins hydration, glow, and uniformity over time.
