Pale face compared to body after accutane.

I have now been off accutane for 7months and have found an annoying problem with my face. Before the accutane in summer my skin would go a nice dark colour from the sun. Ever since I have taken accutane I have noticed now that my body still goes that dark colour from the sun but for some reason my face seems to struggle to tan and doesn't go the same colour as my body. I have tried sitting out in the sun as much as possible to try to even out the colour of my body to my face but i'm having no luck. I'm really guttered about this and praying my face will start to change colour more in time. Can anybody tell me why this might be happening or can give me some advice I'd appreciate it.

Thanks
