Question

Answer 1

perhaps it's because you're had a dark skin gent. You mom or your dad's skin were dark. When you are born what are your skin colour? Dark or bright? If bright, it's normal to changeing into dark skin.
When i was born, my skin color was so bright and when i grew up into 5 yeras old, it started to changing. That's because of the gent, ok?

Or because that you are too long stay under the sun ray.
Don't be affraid....You can wearing a skin bleacher to make your skin color back into bright color. If you are not came from a dark skin gent....It'll work, baby....

Answer 2

I have the same thing goin' on with my complexion.
When I was a little kid my complexion was darker and I was able to tan easily. Now my complexion is lighter and when I tell people that I am from El Salvador they expect me to be darker,lol.
My guess it has partly to do with our genetic makeup that decides what our hair color and skin color will be as we age. Also lifestyle is involved in the changes we see in our selves.
Do you go out in the sun often?( I do and my complexion doesn't get any darker than before I went to get some sun)
What ever it is just be proud of who you are and don't let skin color dictate how you see yourself.
