[Skin Concerns] Since taking care of my face, it is almost 3 shades lighter then the back of my neck and body. Help!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So, I've been taking extra good care of my skin. Because of this my face is definitely 2 shades lighter. That is not the case for the rest of my body and back of my neck. I am black (African American) and in the winter I am naturally cappuccino colored. My face right now is more of a latte :-/. My mom joked and was like "there is a line going down the side of your neck differentiating the two colors. You should exfoliate you neck front and back along with your face". I definitely noticed it. I don't think the neck thing is too noticeable unless you look, but then I can't see my neck unless I look in the mirror.My foundation is the color of the rest of my body, not my face. It blends very well. I use RCMA Shinto III. I guess most people would think 'well, what's the problem?' The problem is that even though it is the same color as the lower part of my neck and body, it looks slightly off to me because my face is now lighter. My mom also mentioned that my skin foundation looks off on my face and wanted to know what I did differently this time. Also, sometimes I don't want to wear foundation at all. When I shower, I don't really exfoliate my body. I always use a wash cloth to bathe with. I am at a lost of what to do. Should I start exfoliating my entire body and back of neck to get my face and body closer in color? That seems like too much work though. Unless... I use a loofah in the shower? Is physical exfoliates bad for body too?Here is my routine:AM :splash face with wateruse Oxy BHA pads 2x a week in the am (3 at night)moisturize with CeraVe in a tubSpot treat PIH with Ambi creamSPF 50 CeraVe ( I hate it I will be returning it)sometimes makeupPM :double cleanse with olive oil, then Keihl's Calendula foaming face wash for normal to oily skinBHA 3x a weekAlpha Skincare AHA 12% 3-4 times a weekQueen Helene's Cocoa Butter Intense Moisture Lotion (layer 1) (I love it)CeraVe in a tub ( layer 2)Vaseline (Layer 3)Spot treatment with AmbiI HAD oily skin UNTIL I started moisturizing, now it's normal. When I finish washing my face, it's not shiny and squeaky. It's soft and elastic to touch. Also I have had no peeling whatsoever from the exfoliates. I don't suffer from much acne. I had about 5 small pimples from purging and they are going away. My issue is PIH from a long time ago.Any advice to even out skin color for my whole body is much appreciated!
