Does washing skin make it whiter?

I'm a germaphobe so i wash my hands everytime they touch something and they're whiter than my face even tho my hands are always bare in the sun while my face is mostly covered in a big cap , sometimes i even put sunscreen on my face

Thoughts?

Ok but I think too much washing with soap will also lead to a lighter skin color
