:( I personally wouldn't use whitening creams so I never recommend them, nor would I use lemon or baking soda.
Colouring your nails with certain colours can help make the skin appear lighter?

Hmm maybe you could use tanning lotion for the rest of your body to make the colors match., not sure how to lighten skin tho.

There are whitening creams out there you can try otherwise put SPF on them and keep those areas out of the sun.

Thank you. I keep reading bad side effects to most creams.

Yeah it's probably not the best for your skin but it works : T.

Why risk those ingredients, just add a little bronzed to the face.

Chocolate helps in getting rid of the tan
chocolate facial at home
Start with cleansing your face. Use a cleanser of your choice - one with raw milk and turmeric or rose water and besan. Once you've cleansed your face, you can now opt for a home-made scrub. Grind brown sugar and coffee beans and apply this paste on your face for approximately 10 minutes. Once you've done scrubbing, use the chocolate paste as a massage cream. Clean your face and apply the chocolate pack for 20 minutes until you wash it off with cold water. Pat your face dry.

I think you look pretty regardless. And if someone is that focused on the colour of your hands and feet, tell them there are more important things in life x

Your best bet would be to see a dermatologist.
