Detailed Answer:
hello dear.
i am happy for sharing your problems.
you took your drugs ,that does not create problems,so be calm & happy.
- Chlorine is highly harmful for your skin.it will make your skin dry and also aids the skin in losing moisture excessively. Take a shower with lukewarm water & soap for rid of the chlorine in your skin.
- Put lots of moisturizer on your skin after a bath. It is also a good idea to apply a light waterproof sunscreen lotion like lotus sun block SPF40,neutrogena fine fairness sunscreen SPF70,calamine lotion,aloevera gel...
- Banana is known to be a good cleanser. Use a banana pack to reduce the dark spots around your face, neck, arms and legs. Let the pack be till it dries up completely and then rinse.
- Drinking lots of water, a regular intake of fresh fruits and vegetables with vitamin C and A will give your skin that much needed glow.
yes vaseline is good brand ,you can use it also.
hope this will help you.
feel free to ask your query .
best regards.

Welcome back and happy to see you again.
You should apply the waterproof sunscreen lotion 15-20 minutes before going to swimming. So in this time lotion will be absorbed and work effectively.

Would you please suggest me the best fairness cream which will help to SIGNIFICANTLY improve my skin tone.I am NOT looking for a product the makes me look fairer because of the product's cream's colour or layer on my skin and face, but because of my improved skin tone as a result of the product's very good long lasting effect on my skin and face

AS MENTIONED BELOW.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear.
I am not saying 100% that ,this cream give you 100% results,because it depends on person to person.
It is also depend on how many times your skin expose to sun & chlorine .
If your skin is repeatedly expose to sun & chlorine ,then result of lotion also alters.
Earlier ,i was recommended some lotions,which are good & effective.
hope you understand.
best regards.
