[Skin Concerns] 19 year old who gets confused as being 40....Dry, discolouration, and overall very dead and dull looking skin. Was fine till I got burned in the sun during middle school...Please help :(

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey guys, so I've suffered from low self-esteem my whole high school life and now that I'm 19 I want to make a change. I'm a guy so I can't depend on makeup. So my skin was really good and clear until middle school. I spent my days outside 24/7 and I went from a very light (somewhat lighter then an olive skin tone) skin colour to very very dark brown. I should mention I have eczema but it only causes rashes on my arms not my face (I don't know if eczema has a light affect everywhere or not). So every winter I spent inside, my skin stayed dark except for a few spots on my face that got lighter. Now I spent a lot of time inside the past year and my skin overall got lighter like no tomorrow and now I'm just a brown skin tone. However face is filled with patches of lighter skin mixed with dark. My skin is also extremely dull looking for some reason. Depending on the lightning I look HORRIBLE. The areas around my eyes are bordering on insanely dark compared to the rest of my face. People say things like "are you okay?" "you look so sleepy!" "Are you on drugs" (I'm serious). A solid 7 people (I know exactly how many cause of how damaging it was to my self-esteem) legitimately and completely thought I was fucking 40. Usually people think 30's. It depends completely on the lightning, most of the time it's bad but sometimes it's really fucking bad. All my yearbooks I looked fucking good and this was because they edit the pictures heavily in regards to the lighting on everyones faces. The worst is when people are looking at me from far away according to people I've talked and what I've witnessed from mirrors. I've had such low self esteem I've asked my friends, mom and sister for advice. They said sometimes I look good but most times I look really really really bad and they can't figure it out cause none of my facial features are even bad. It sucks cause girls my age give me attention one second and think I'm a creepy old guy the other. The skin in my family is generally good, my mom's side is okay and my dad's is actually amazingly good. Also once my facial hair kicked in and I started shaving it, my skin got 1000x times worse. That was the point where people started thinking I'm some middle aged guy (prior to this people at the least thought I was my age), I could notice too my skin started looking very dull and damaged. I should mention my diet is extremely bad and unhealthy and I drink almost no water (been like this my whole life) and I haven't really tried any expensive creams and actually all I've used is nivea.TLDR: Dull, dry, discoloured, bad skin. Discolouration ranges from fair skin to very dark brown with my eyes being extremely dark. Was not like this until middle school where I damaged my skin by playing outside all the time. Went from a fair skin tone to extremely dark brown. No acne issues, people think I'm 40 when I'm 19. My skin is extremely dead looking. When I started shaving it got way worse. I don't want to go through my university years with people thinking I'm some old guy...please help me I've had it and I'm willing to do anything.
