First of all skin colour is subjective. And she is too young, even to determine her actual skin colour, sometime skin tone might change after few years of puberty, and even if it's a wheatish skin tone, it's fine as long it is healthy and glowing, she is too young to receive glutathione and vit c serums and injections.
