Lighter skin is primarily caused by lower levels of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Genetic factors play a significant role, influencing how much melanin is produced in the skin. Environmental factors, such as UV exposure, can also affect melanin production, leading to variations in skin tone. Additionally, certain conditions or deficiencies, such as albinism, can result in noticeably lighter skin.
