Hydroquinone, it's in the over the counter creams like Porcelana, or Fade, etc.  You should wear a hat while you are outdoors that helps a lot.

Some people just naturally have darkness around their eyes. (I don't understand why people call them dark circles when they're not really circles) In this case, getting more sleep or eating better isn't going to help things, and neither will so-called "skin brighteners". The only thing that will really help is under-eye concealer. Use a shade slightly lighter than your skin tone, and set it with powder so it will last through the day.\n\nAs a last resort, if yours are really bad, they also have laser treatments available to lighten the skin in that area.

Try a cream from AVON called Banishing cream. It lightens skin discolorations.

Do u drink plenty of water????? If not start everyday with a warm glass of water... this is really good for ur skin. I also had very dull skin.... but since i started drinking water ... the first thing every morning ... thers a nice glow to my skin. And eat plenty of fruits and fresh vegs if u like them and can manage eating plenty of it. Coz i dont go for them usually. And then wash ur face with warm water every time u have to wash it. Just splash water and wash... no soap. Just once a day use soap on ur face. And everytime after u wash ur face and body.... apply a good amount of mosituiriser to ur skin... like immmediately after bath or immediately after washing ur face. This will make it better looking. \nNow with ur dark circles.... try using a good foundation.. its not too much of make up anyways. U cud try relaXing with potatoe slices on ur eyes. It kind of lightens the dark circles. Or incase u wanna use a dark circle cream go for it... but choose wisely. \nFor the under eye bags.... again water plays a major role. Drink them in plenty.. reduce ur intake of soft drink and stick to fresh fruit juices and water. Also ur sleeping pattern is very important for this... incase u dont get enough sleep u might have these bags. Have early dinner, before going to bed drink a glass of warm water or milk and sleep for atleast 8 hours. This way u might get some changes for all the above mentioned probs. \nAnd make up only highlight the beauty in u...but every one is naturally beautiful. So dont take make up as such a big deal... Use it when u have to and keep it light and nice... if u dont want to put on too much.

that is gay of note! is it your skin that's bad? rather get it fixed up by a dermatologist first. \n\nif you really really want to wear makeup, go to a makeup counter and tell the lady your problem. she'll be amused, but happy to help you so that the makeup isn't very visible.

First of all keep you arms covered when outside or use sun screen all year round.\nIf you do this the skin will naturally lighten on it's own. But there are a number of skin lighteners on the market available at your drug store or cosmetic counter.

Ok since you are sorta dark anyway and you work outside i would prob recommend that you def use some type of sunscreen with 30spf. This will block out all the UV rays. If you can find a good one that blocks out all the UVA and UVB rays you will be much better off. Since your skin is already dark it is pretty hard to lighten it up but you can scrub yourself to death in the shower and that will help take some of the dead skin off that you got from your sun exposure. Dark skin isn't bad..might not be the greatest for your health if it is cause you were out in the sun. Good luck and I hope this helps you.

If you mean clear from blemishes, drink at least 2litres water a day and avoid fatty, sugary foods. If you mean your skin is naturally dark, keep out of the sun. Even dark skins fade a few shades in time.Just eat right and moisturise and be happy with what you got.

Have you thought about trying a skin lightener?\n\nHere's a link to several products that might help:  http://shopping.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AnXhbGvKO0K2wscje3En618bFt0A;_ylu=X3oDMTBtNTA5a3RqBF9zAzE0NDg5MTE1BHNlYwNzZWFyY2g-?cop=mss&test=DFLT&p=skin+lightener&did=

I suffer from this as well, and even worked at a tanning salon to try and combat what I found an emabarrasing problem. If your condition is similar to mine in turth, you probably expierence some of the same symptoms. You look like you have a constant blush when you do any kind of heavy lifting or excersize, you find when you drink anything alcoholic that your cheeks become rosy much faster then others. And you will forever look baby-faced,...lol  Being a female I do have more options then you, like make-up for instance, which is only a temporary fix at best and leads to other skin problems believe me (aka acne, or dry/oily skin). Like I said I tried tanning, and it only seemed to make the skin slightly darker (even when I tanned diligently), but didn't take away the rosy glow I seemed to have eternal. I even seen a dermatologist who told me my "condition" as I liked to call it, wasn't a condition at all, that is was a healthy gift I had been given, because the rosy glow is caused by an over abundance of small capillaries (very small veins which bring blood supply to the skin), and will provide me with younger looking, faster healing, anti-sagging, vibrant looking skin for longer then others. Which although it made me feel a bit better, didn't solve the problem, so then at age 18 I went looking for my own answers, and would you believe I found them in the Health and Beauty section of a Nationwide supermart,...? Heres your answer,...you ready for it, Neutrogena smooth on self tanner,...lol It works, the balance of pigmentation with skin emulsifiers and moisturizing agents keep my skin looking more healthy and bronze then the real sun ever could, with none of the side effects of the natural sun, and believe it or not it's very sensibly priced. \n\nSo I am sorry for the huge answer, but I figured since I have a bit of insite on this one myself, I may as tell you all I went through so that you do not have to,...lol\n\nHope it works for you,...\n\nDora

See a doctor for your skin problem, sounds like you need something for your specific problem.  A dermatologist will be able to help you.

I'm not sure there is anything for you.   The 2 hardest things in dermatology are getting dark skin lighter and getting light skin darker.   Visit a dermatologist and talk about your options, they may set you up with a treatment called P U V A  which is uva light treatments that are used for people with vitiligo (michael jackson disease)  Good luck

one of my teammates has the same problem, you cant really make it lighter but use spf60 to prevent and your tan will eventually fade.

try jergens, or another lotion that darkenss the skin. these look totally natural cause they darken your skin tone, not paint something on it. also, if you need to tan quickly, try natural airbrush enhancement (not airbrush tanning)

You will progressively get darker and darker as your skin is damaged more and more by sunburn. Use sunscreen - the sun will make you wrinkled as you grow older and will make your skin like shoe leather eventually if you keep damaging it.

You sound very concerned. Why don't you seek professional help then? Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. You must consult your doctor or a dermatologist. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)
