The causes for a dark skin or complexion could be many. Some of the most common ones are hereditary - people who have a dark skin often have children who are dark-skinned too, hyper pigmentation, skin disorders and sun rays.
The sun can be our biggest enemy. If you do not wear sunscreen and protective clothing, your face will be at risk for burns, skin damage and hyper pigmentation that make skin to look blemished and patchy.
Use a good quality sunscreen when going out in the sun to protect the skin from tanning as well as the sun's UV rays.

I've heard about lemon juice as a skin whitener, but I've never used it. What I use to lighten my skin (my dark spots and acne scars specifically) is NeuCell Skin Lightener. It may not be as natural as the items mentioned above, but it is made of natural ingredients (no hydroquinone). It's effective, not to mention safe for skin.
