Pale skin.....?!
Question: Im mixed race (half white half indian) ..my skin used to be a lovely olive colour! Now its REALLY pale and patchy and red and not nice! ..Well my body is still quite tanned but my face, arms and legs are pale!
Why is this?
Could it be because I dont get enough sleep? Or because I drink morealcohol..or not enough water? Or is it the weather?

si=ounds like what happened to me:
I am white/pale skinned caucasion, now I cannot get a tan for love nor money, I just dont tan, I go to red then straight back to pale again- wouldnt mind but its not a nice pale, its sort of a yellowy jaundice pale. Not a healthy english rose pale.
I used to- whn I was little, have nice browner skin, it tanned easily and looked ok even when not tanned.
I had a sh*t time when I was a child, I dodnt sleep alot, I ate poorly and didnt excerice or drink water. So I dont think it has anything to do with this as right now I eat a very VERY healthy diet, I sleep enough, excercise every day and drink atleast my 2 litres of water a day. My skin itself is flawless: no spots and not greasy skin, and physically I am in good shape, but my skin tone is so poor its depressing!
Just guess that the body changes in time and unfortunalty we loose some of the good things that we get such as nice tanned skin.
it might be a vitamin deficiancy. try taking vitamins and drinking more water. alchohol is NOT good for you and that may b the effect.
may b itz jst how u r!
hope tis helped!!...

Maybe you should see your GP and ask for a dermatology referral if you are worried, likely to be more conclusive than asking questions on here.
It could be the weather or lack of vitamin how much lighter is your arms legs etc compared to your body because I'm Native American and my body is naturally a little more tan than the rest of body. you could have a weird skin disease.
