Why is parts of my skin highly reflective?

Im a black male my skin color is almost like that of a penny. On various areas of my body (Lats, around my underarms, shoulders, triceps, upper back very lower back, and butt area) are highly reflective to light (sun and artificial). I Generally don't lotion these areas only my hands face arms and legs. It is not excessive oil. People think it is completely beautiful but I would like some explanation as to why this happens.

    Photons have zero *rest* mass, but they have momentum. By going at the speed of light, they acquire a virtual mass, since they have energy and energy is equivalent to matter. Does the fact that you are getting on with particle physics questions an indication that you completely ran out of arguments in other, less demanding domains already?
