I'm curious about how to whiten dark skin... Has anyone brightened their complexion with home care?

Lately, whenever I take a picture, I feel like my face looks especially darker...
Honestly, even compared to my friends, my skin tone seems to have gotten duller 😭

In particular, I'd say my face has become duller overall than before...
So lately I've been looking up various ways to whiten my face, but
I'm really curious to hear from people who actually saw results, not just the advertisements.

My skin is naturally on the darker side.
"I wonder if it can't be helped since it's just something I was born with..." but then
If you search, you will find methods to whiten dark skin using only home care.
I saw some posts saying the tone has gotten a bit brighter.

These days, I'm also paying attention to exfoliation,
I've also been trying to use the whitening serum and moisturizing mask quite consistently.
I'm not sure if this is going the right way 🤔

By any chance, among the methods to whiten the skin
Has anyone seen results after changing their lifestyle habits or routines?

Besides lasers or whitening treatments,
It would be even better if it were skin whitening methods focused on home care that I can do at home!

I would be very grateful if you could share this discreetly 🙏
