Dark skinned people have more melanin than light skinned person. It also acts as a sunscreen and protects the skin from ultraviolet light. Cells called melanocytes produce melanin. It provides some protection again skin damage from the sun, and the melanocytes increase their production of melanin in response to sun exposure. Freckles, which occur in people of all races, are small, concentrated areas of increased melanin production. So, fairness creams just reduces the melanin in our skin which results in skin whitening.
