Brief Answer:
Kojic acid based cream, sunscreen
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I would recommend you to apply a cream containing kojic acid like Kojivit plus or Kojiglo cream on the dark areas at night along with liberal application of a sunscreen like faceguard gel on the sun exposed areas 3- 4 times during the day time.
This tanning will take usually 4-6 weeks to reduce.
Avoid sun exposure and make use of cap, sunglasses whenever out in the sun.
