Hi.Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Skin type is genetically determined and there are 6 skin types according to Fitzpatrik, Type I is white skin and has no or very less melanin, going through Types III which is wheatish, has moderate melanin and tans well on sun exposure, to Type VI which is negro skin and has the most melanin content.
Unfortunately and it is actually not possible to change the skin type.
